The Toyota Prius Base for 2007
The 2007 Prius is an important vehicle to Toyota for the hatchback market segment. The Base is a member of a series of two trim levels for the Prius which include Base and Touring.

The Prius Base is equipped with a Toyota 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A 4-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Toyota.
The Prius uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
