The Hyundai Prius
The exterior offers a sleeker, more sporty alternative to Toyota's Prius. The extras with the infotainment system, alloy wheels at base price are a nice touch. Where this vehicle really stumbles is in its poor uphill drive and highway performance. The engine feels like it really struggles to keep up with the flow of traffic if any elevation changes are experienced; even when holding the gas pedal steady, the vehicle loses steam and can really begin to bottom out, requiring the driver to press much harder than is comfortable to maintain speed. Great freshman attempt at a Prius hybrid fleet, but Hyundai needs to do better.
