an unmodified fifth-generation toyota prius breaks the guinness world record. combined fuel economy average is 93.158 mpg (39.6 km/l). (the converted average fuel consumption is 2.52l/100km)

this record was born on a journey across the united states, starting from the los angeles city hall and arriving at the new york city hall. the total journey was about 3,211.7 miles. the entire journey passed through terrain with an altitude of about 2,133.6 meters and high temperatures of 40.56 degrees celsius. it was really an extreme experience. the changing terrain environment and weather, and such harsh test conditions can also create a hard-core fuel consumption of 2.52l.

toyota has proven with its strength that hybrids are better than plug-in hybrids or extended range vehicles. why do you say that?

first of all, this record-breaking was not tested by toyota itself, but was obtained under the full supervision of the guinness world records certification officer. this is more convincing than the 2.x liters of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers claimed by many domestic brands after their own testing.

secondly, this record breaking was not done on a flat road, but rather a long climb up a mountain. moreover, after experiencing low temperature weather, the car owner also broke the record while turning on the air conditioner.

third, note that toyota does not use a large fuel tank, nor does it advertise how far a tank of fuel can travel. the car was refueled three times during the record-breaking process. the fuel tank used by the prius is only 42.7 liters, and it can travel 1,686 kilometers on a single refueling.

why is a fuel-efficient hybrid more powerful than a plug-in hybrid or extended range? the most important reason is that the cost is lower! because hybrids use small batteries, they can reduce costs to the greatest extent. plug-in hybrid or extended range must use large batteries, which is costly.

in addition, the prius, which uses a small battery, has very good quality control. the body weight is only 1.5 tons, which is lighter than the byd qin l, which is said to have a power loss and fuel consumption of 2.9 liters.

the third is safety. since a small battery is used and the battery can be hidden in a hidden position under the rear seat, the probability of the battery being bumped by external forces is very low, so the risk of fire and spontaneous combustion will also be reduced. so far, there has not been a single case of electric leakage, electric shock or battery explosion and combustion caused by vehicle battery accidents in the world of toyota hev, which can be described as "full temperature, full range, stable and reliable".

so after talking about so many advantages, i was very confused. at present, the competition between petrol vehicles and electric vehicles in the chinese market is already very fierce. and plug-in or extended range seems to have become a new market growth trend, and even toyota's domestic sales have experienced some decline. so under such circumstances, why doesn't toyota make the prius domestically?

first, the prius has long been famous and has a high reputation. second, it is the most fuel-efficient car certified by guinness world records, and its credibility is more reliable than the publicity of many domestic brands. third, toyota has never boasted about being "way ahead". instead, it has used technology and the market to prove that it is the number one in the hybrid market.

in the current era of the chinese market, where gasoline vehicles, hybrids, and pure electric vehicles are divided into three parts, if toyota can make the prius domestically, i think its influence will be no less than that of tesla's domestic production, and it will make consumers re-recognize gasoline vehicles. electric hybrid.
