Summary

2010 Toyota Prius

The all-new 2010 Toyota Prius is evolutionary, with substantial improvements in styling and the hybrid powertrain. It's sleeker and better looking, and achieves a combined 50 miles per gallon. With almost the same exterior dimensions but more interior room, it's considered a midsize sedan. The suspension is sharp over patchy pavement, and road noise is surprisingly high, possibly because of tires with low rolling resistance. The interior design is futuristic without being out there, and the new front seats are comfortable. The available leather and upgraded materials are classy.

Sam Moses filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of the new Prius in California's Napa Valley.
