During Super Bowl 50, Toyota aired an ad for the all-new Prius. In “The Longest Chase” 2016 Toyota Prius Super Bowl commercial, a group of men robbed a bank and came out to find their getaway car being towed. They came across a 2016 Prius, hopped in, and thus began an extremely long police chase. We are going to take a closer look at what the Super Bowl commercial tells us about the 2016 Toyota Prius. But first, you can refresh your memory:
Speaking of hybrid cars… Toyota has sold over 8 million hybrid models since 1997
When the guys first get into the vehicle, one of them asks, “Is this a Prius?” To which another responds, “Very spacious!” Indeed, the 2016 Prius has plenty of space for five riders as well as their gear and equipment. With 93.1 cubic feet of passenger space and a cargo volume of 24.6 cubic feet, you won’t have to leave anyone or anything at home!
Soon after the chase begins, one of the cops asks, “How hard is it to catch a Prius?” Another replies, “This thing is actually pretty fast!” The first cop responds, “Very funny.” But it’s true! The Toyota Prius may be renowned for being efficient, but it also offers a net power of 121 horsepower and has the ability to produce impressive speed when it’s needed.
Throughout the commercial, the guys use a few innovative tech features to continue the long chase. When they come upon a road block, the 2016 Prius’s standard backup camera gives the driver a view of what’s behind, so he can backup and navigate between the oncoming police cars. Then, when the driver accidentally nods off, the available Pre-Collision System senses a potential collision and offers brake assistance.
Even when the police cars are running out of gas and the cops are required to pull off and fill up, the 2016 Toyota Prius is still going strong. It comes as no surprise that the new Prius offers outstanding fuel efficiency. Since the 2016 Prius can deliver up to EPA-estimated 58 mpg for city driving, you can last a long time with a full tank of gas!
At the end of the commercial, the guys come upon a group of police cars filled with sleeping cops. Because the 2016 Toyota Prius is so maneuverable, they are able to squeeze between the police cars and get away. In fact, the new Prius has a turning circle diameter of 33.5 feet, curb to curb.
