The new Toyota Prius has brought back an hard to believe 2.64 litres/100km (107mpg) ranking in Japanese tests.

Toyota has stunned the driving world by declaring its new Prius formally averages out 2.64 litres/100km (107mpg) – an unprecedented high for new cars.

The new model will be on sale in some markets during the month of May. It has presently been qualified in Japan with the impressive fuel utilization figure. The intercrossed petrol-electric car gives out just 61g/km of CO2. The credit goes to the many inventions of its new 1.8 litre engine system.

The expelling figure is quiet below any other new car on sale and this includes the minute Smart ForTwo diesel, and Honda’s new Insight hybrid.

The consumptions figures for the European markets are yet to be established and if they are also as eye-opening as this, the rivalry is in for a challenge.
