Nowadays, it seems that everyone is making an effort to "go green". Whether it's composting at home, choosing sustainable products at the store, or even taking some time out to clean up around the community on volunteer days with co-workers, it's great to see so many people getting out to do their part for the environment. Now, Toyota has long been considered a leader in going green for the automotive industry, having paved the way for mass market acceptance of hybrid vehicles with the popular Toyota Prius. And Toyota shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to its green vehicle ventures, as its Toyota Prius Prime recently earned the World Green Car award.

Awarded at this week's New York International Auto Show, the World Green Car award recognizes hybrid vehicles that offer exceptional capability and fuel-saving efficiency, helping to reduce overall carbon emissions that are a key contributor to global warming. As a plug-in hybrid, the Toyota Prius Prime is exceptionally conservative with its fuel usage, achieving up to 54 mpg combined, making it a smart bet for both urban and city commuters who're looking to save on gas and help save the environment to boot.
This is the second year in a row that Toyota has won the World Green Car award, having been honored last year for its fuel cell vehicle, the Toyota Mirai. So, if you're interested in learning more about Toyota's green vehicle or want to take a test drive with the exceedingly efficient Toyota Prius Prime, feel free to visit us at Philpott Toyota in Nederland, TX at your earliest convenience.
