Despite being the first hybrid on the roads in America, the Toyota Prius still beats its contemporaries in terms of green performance, a study has shown.
The US Union of Concerned Scientists put a selection of hybrid models through their paces, releasing the results last week and observing that the Prius delivers more than 40 percent reduction in global warming pollution compared to its closest conventional (gasoline) counterpart.
The model, which UCS says consists of around half of all hybrid sales, far outperformed even its closest competitor in the "non-luxury" model category, the Honda Civic Hybrid, despite a host of hybrid vehicles now being available from US and international nameplates.
