Prius or a diesel Hyundai?
would you consider a Toyota Prius (Hybrid)to be more economical than a Hyundai (Diesel). I do a trip to Kerry including 200 miles each trip 12 times per year and also some city driving in Dublin.In other words is the Prius Hybrid economical on motorways or only really suitable for city driving?..Regards. J.P.
Our answer:
Hi JP,
It depends which Prius you're looking at. If you mean the current shape one, then that's hugely economical, easily capable of 60mpg on the motorway and potentially even better around town. If it's an older Prius, then you're better off with the Hyundai for long journeys.
