2012 and 2016 Toyota Prius C Reaps Performance Boost with K&N Performance Air Filter Upgrade
- 25 Apr 2013
This year the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy named the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid the "greenest" car for 2013. With only 99 total system horsepower the Toyota Prius C isn't going to win any races in the traditional sense, but with a 9.5 gallon gas tank that can travel right around 500 miles, it will reach its intended destination with fewer gas stops for sure. The front-wheel-drive Toyota Prius C offers just one drivetrain, a 73-horsepower 1.5-liter gasoline 4-cylinder engine that pairs with a 26-horsepower battery-powered electric motor, and like all Toyota hybrids, the PriusC can run on one or both of its engines. With the introduction of the K&N 33-2485 reusable air filter the Prius C not only becomes even "greener" it also adds perceptible pop to theToyota Prius' get-up-and-go. By simply upgrading the OE air filter with a K&N 33-2485 air filter, you will not only improve the overall performance of the Prius C, but you will assure excellent air filtration and engine protection.
