Features
The complete system includes the upgraded and heavy duty front sway
bar, H.D. rear strut set, and heavy duty springs. The Touring adds a
"euro-tuned" suspension and has a stiffer suspension so that it will
take corners better with less body lean and better overall handling.
The high-end Touring version of Toyota's Prius has a
tighter suspension than the car's base version. Online subscribers have often
asked whether to opt for the Touring Prius, so Consumer Reports put it to the test.
Consumer Reports
found the Touring Prius did have better handling and braking than a previously
tested base model. It got through our avoidance maneuver 3 mph faster, which
puts it on a par with some of the better-performing family sedans.
Consumer Reports June 2008. “Touring Package
Prius is still much better than that for any other five-passenger car we've
tested, and the edge in performance could give drivers an extra margin of
safety. We think that's worth the extra money.”
