Toyota Launches ?Aqua? In Japan ? A Detailed Preview Of The Prius c

Best in the world fuel economy is only a start of the Yaris sized hybrid. The Aqua is a small, light and efficient hybrid system that achieves a world-leading fuel efficiency of 83.3 mpgUS on the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's (MLIT's) JC08 test cycle and 94.1 mpgUS on the MLIT 10-15 test cycle. This compares to the regular Prius? 89.4 mpgUS on the MLIT 10-15 test cycle or a 5.2% improvement. We should expect a 52 to 53 mpgUS combined rating on the EPA here in the US with a much higher actual capability given the much lighter eight platform.
