ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR WEATHERTECH DIGITAL FIT FLOOR CUSTOM FIT IN THE FRONT, BACK, WEATHERTECH.

MADE IN AMERICA.

STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: GASOLINE-ELECTRIC HYBRIDS FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES NOW, GOING HEAD TO HEAD WITH WELL, WITH AN ALL-NEW IONIQ HYBRID.

A COMPACT 5-DOOR THAT IS TO OUT PRIUS THE PRIUS.

SO, LET'S CRANK IT UP AND SEE.

* DESPITE A WEALTH OF CONTENDERS THE TOYOTA PRIUS HAS RETAINED OF HYBRIDS.

THIS 2017 HYUNDAI IONIQ, BUT IT'S PRETTY DARN CLOSE.

THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE THREE AS THIS TRADITIONAL BY A PLUG-IN VARIANT AS WELL AS ALL BASED ON A DEDICATED THE KIA NIRO WAGON.

THOUGH THANKFULLY, UNLIKE NIRO, AS AN SUV.

[ENGINE STARTS UP] THE HYBRID POWERTRAIN STARTS RATED AT 104 HORSEPOWER COMBINED WITH TOTAL OUTPUT IS 139 HORSEPOWER.

A SMALL 1.6 KWH BATTERY RESIDES AVOIDING ANY LOSS OF WHILE, ECO-FRIENDLINESS IS STILL WITH FUEL PRICES STAYING THE IONIQ WILL NEED TO JUST THE GREENIES, IN ORDER WELL, ITS DCT TRANSMISSION HELPING IT FEEL SPORTIER THAN AND PRIUS IN PARTICULAR; AND ALLOWING YOU TO HOLD GEARS AND IT WILL DO THAT...

ALTHOUGH, RIDE QUALITY WAS OVERALL HYBRID SYSTEM OPERATION QUITE AS SEAMLESS AS THE PRIUS; AND THE SEATS ARE FAR MORE AND INDEED IT HAS A SPORTY ALL IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOU IN A HYBRID; DISPLAYS TO REMIND YOU AS FAR AS INTERIOR ROOM GOES, THE PRIUS; A LITTLE MORE HERE, MOST NOTABLY, THE REAR SEATS TECH INTERFACE IS EASY TO AND BUTTONS REMAIN.

MUCH LIKE THE PRIUS, PROVIDES A GOOD AMOUNT OF SPACE AND FOLDING SEATBACK CAPACITY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER PROPORTIONS AND 5-DOOR STYLE ARE INCLUDING THE EXACT SAME YET, THE SLICK LOOKING IONIQ AT ALL.

IT PROVED FAIRLY SLICK AT OUR THROUGH THE CONES, BUT THE TRIP WAS MUCH QUICKER THERE'S A MANAGEABLE AMOUNT OF GOOD WEIGHT TO THE STEERING, ALL ALLOWING YOU TO EASILY FIND AND PUSH PRETTY HARD.

ACCELERATION WAS A BIT LESS BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

POWER IS BEST AT THE HIGH END AS WE MANAGED A 0-60 AND A QUARTER MILE OF GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS, AND 55-COMBINED, BUT OUR AVERAGE OF 53.1 THOSE NUMBERS.

MUCH LIKE THE PRIUS, DE-CONTENTED VERSION, WHICH UPS THE COMBINED RATING THE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE IS JUST 6.0 BARRELS OF OIL USED CO2 EMISSIONS YEARLY.

PRICING STARTS AT $23,085, LOOK AT PAYING CLOSER TO THE 2017 HYUNDAI IONIQ AND EFFICIENT HYBRID, AND DESPITE CURRENT FUEL PRICES, FOR THIS HYBRID.

THE UPCOMING, PRICIER PHEV NO DOUBT.

BUT THE FACT THAT HYUNDAI IS IS PROOF THEY HAVE A LONG-RANGE IN MANY WAYS, AT THEIR OWN GAME, NOW THEY JUST NEED TO HAVE OUR SUCCESS STORY THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS WHERE "GREEN" GOES WELL BEYOND THE PARK HAS INVESTED IN SINCE THE MID '90s.

PROPANE, B20, AND ELECTRIC, THE PARK'S FLEET, A NUMBER THAT CONTINUES THE EAST TENNESSEE CLEAN CITIES COALITIONS.

Brian Bergsma: YEAH, OUR CLEAN CITIES NETWORK.

WORKING WITH NISSAN, NATIONAL PARK TO PROVIDE FAST SINCE THE STATIONS WENT THOUSANDS OF GALLONS AND TONS OF EMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RESULTS THAT ARE RIGHT IN LINE TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT A STOP AT MOST LITTLE OR NO CUSTOMER SERVICE; FILL UP, AND DRIVE OFF.

BUT LIKE ME, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER MEANT BEING GREETED BY WHO NOT ONLY DID THE FILL UP, AND EVEN WASHED THE WINDOWS.

WELL TODAY, ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, AND OUR FYI REPORTER JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM * Lauren Morrison: A 1954 HUDSON AND A FULL SERVICE GAS STATION.
