Super TestCar reviews - Toyota - Prius - i-Tech 5-dr hatchToyota modelsResearch Toyota Steering9 Jul 2004 Prius uses electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering that enables the system to operate when the petrol engine is not running. Compared with the previous car, the processing unit has been increased from 16 to 32-bit. The number of turns from lock-to-lock has also been reduced, from 4.0 to 3.6. The turning circle is 10.4 metres, which is acceptable for the wheelbase. On the i-Tech version, the steering is linked to the stability control system, which means it can act in concert with selective wheel-braking to control any wayward movement of the vehicle. The system varies power assistance according to the vehicle’s road speed. Did you know?The inner bonnet is designed to minimise pedestrian head impact in the event of a collision. The front bumper is designed to minimise leg impactAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
