The Toyota Prius is to cars what the iPod music players, it is not the most environmentally friendly car of all, but everyone comes to mind when we think of cars with the environment. Although according to the figures released by BMW, his 520d could be more environmentally friendly.
The diesel BMW with regenerative braking system, promises a consumption of 4.25 l/100 km, while the Prius is left with a consumption of 3.58 l/100 km. The test to which underwent both cars to check these data was a journey from London to Geneva, to which were added 160 km of urban driving.
At the end of the experiment the BMW had attained a consumption of 4.68 l/100 km, compared with 4.81 l/100 km from Toyota. Where the Series 5 loses out is in the field of CO2 emissions, emits 136 g / km to 104 g / km of the Prius.
While the consumption data are against aerodynamic Prius, we should not change the concept of car respectful of nature that we all have of him. For even though the BMW has spent less fuel, the Toyota where it really shines is in the urban traffic representing an 17.8% of the test, rather than driving on Highway 120 km / h which accounted for 82.2% of the test. Another thing to bear in mind is that the Prius fitted with a 1.5 petrol engine and a 2.0 diesel BMW, which the German saloon has an extra particulate emissions that are not reflected in CO2 emissions but also pollutes .
