Toyota Prius Hybrid the Priceless Futuristic Car!
Toyota is here with its new 2009 Prius hybrid car! The new Toyota Prius Hydrid which is the smallest hybrid car has been revised and best suited for the new generation needs and implements high technology for making it more eco-friendly. Compared to its older version, the 2009 Prius is very spacious, more fuel efficient and reduced level of pollution emission. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Prius is the most fuel efficient car sold in US.
The overall dimension is still the same as to its previous model but offers more leg space and extra room for head. The power and torque has gone up to 134bhp from the old 112bhp, and now it has 1.8 liter engine upgraded from the 1.5 liter engine. As for fuel economy from 55.4 mpg it now provides 72.4mpg and the carbon dioxide also falls down to 89g per km from 120g per km. The California Air Resources Board and the EPA also places Prius among the cleanest cars sold based on non-carbon dioxide emissions, in the United States.
Like any other hybrid car it utilized gas and electricity as its source of power. Hence it helps in saving fuel a great deal, especially while ignition when electric engine is used saving the fuel consumption. They are ideal for stagnant city traffic, which moves and stops every now and then, that is when you realize how useful and cost efficient the hybrid Prius is.
The 2009 Prius with a diminutive appearance is much more spacious than you can imagine and has amazing futuristic interior design and has comfortable seats, the base colors are light, and the front and rear seats as well are spacious to provide its passengers with the utmost comfort and ease. It also has cup holders, a built in lighted mirror.
It offers high fuel efficiency, from about 48-43 miles per gallon. The inner setting is equipped with a hi-tech center console computerized panel, through which you can control the radio, which also display the statistics regarding fuel consumption and also provides climate information. The speedometer is also computerized, giving the perfect look and feel of a futuristic hybrid car!
To add on to it, you just have to use a power button to start the car, which makes it a keyless ignition. As it also has a back camera, while reversing the car the rear view is displayed on the monitor panel screen so that you may turn and twist your car safely.
The 2009 Prius has the Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), which uses the all electric air conditioned compressor for cooling purposes. It also has super electric power steering, and has a smaller NiMH battery which is combined with the NHW20, which makes it more powerful and efficient. Prius has passed much crash testing, and has mostly got four to five star rating.
The new Toyota Prius Hydrid is ideal for today’s generation when people have to take care of cost cutting and environment as well!

Do hybrids also use the batteries that convention cars use?
You know, the battery that requires changing every 3-4 years.
I thought hybrids have their own Nimh batteries to start so do they need conventional batteries?
A hybrid like the prius actually has two sets of batteries. The Internal Combustion Engine system requires energy to start the engine and as a storage device for lights and other electrical accessories that run on a 12 volt system. There is a special battery for this. It is likely that this is a lead acid battery because these are very common and inexpensive. On the Prius, I had, it was located in the trunk. And then there is a storage battery for the electric drive. For most of the last decade this battery has been of the NM HI technology. On the prius these were located under the back seat. And the manufacturer says that these should last the life of the vehicle and they will give $200 for their return.

Mercury Mariner Hybrid Review - the Pros and Cons
Even though the Mercury Mariner Hybrid shares its platform and technologies with its siblings the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mazda Tribute Hybird, the Mercury manages to come off as the most refined of the trio.
The 330-volt nickel-metal-hydride (NIMH) battery pack tucked under the rear cargo area is covered by a limited 8-year/100,000-mile warranty and is capable of powering the Mariner Hybrid for extended durations at up to 25 mph. Once you hit the gas or exceed 25 mph the 2.3 DOHC inline-4 kicks in and the result is acceleration nearly on par with the V6-powered Mariner.
The extensive restyling done for the 2008 model still doesn’t hide the fact that the Mariner has strong SUV roots in the looks department, but the nimble handling is anything but SUV-like. Turning is sharp and crisp, there is no body roll to speak of, and the continuously variable transmission makes the most of the 155 horsepower produced by the gasoline-electric drivetrain. Regenerative braking is strong and does a great job keeping the batteries charged.
The interior is decidedly upscale, featuring dual-zone climate control and an in-dash CD changer with an audio input that will let you plug in your favorite MP3. An extensive list of options include a DVD-based navigation system, numerous entertainment options such as satellite radio and creature comforts such as heated leather seats.
The Mariner Hybrid is a comfortable and classy small SUV that combines excellent economy, posh features, and reliability at a price point starting at just under $30,000.
