The Prius has no conventional non-hybrid counterpart. Its Toyota stablemate, the Matrix, was used for comparison. (Associated Press) |
Environmental score (0 is worst, 10 is best) is the measure of a vehicle's improvement in global warming pollution over its closest conventional counterpart, along with its smog-forming emissions performance.
Hybrid value (Very low to very high) is the environmental "bang for your buck." It measures how cost effectively a particular hybrid achieves its environmental performance.
Forced features (None to $$$$$) is a measure of how many "premium" or "upgraded" features are included on a hybrid as standard equipment but are not included on the base-model conventional counterpart. Forced features artificially drive up the price of hybrids.
