2010 Toyota Prius IV for sale in NJ

Meet the 2010 Toyota Prius IV — the sensible superhero of the hatchback world, cloaked in a vivid red exterior that says “I care about style… and also my tire pressure.” Inside, a warm tan interior welcomes you like a latte on a chilly morning: comfortable, classy, and surprisingly forgiving of coffee spills (we’re not making promises, but it’s forgiving).

Powertrain & Efficiency
Under the hood (and under the dashboard, and everywhere the engineers thought might improve MPG) is Toyota’s proven Hybrid Synergy Drive pairing a 1.8L Inline-4 gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined figure Toyota marketed around 134 horsepower. The hybrid system is tuned for zen-like efficiency rather than drag-strip theatrics — which is good, because this Prius gets 51 MPG in the city and 48 MPG on the highway. With just under 122,000 miles on the odometer, this car averages less than 8,000 miles per year — basically a grand tourer for the grocery store, and it’s in excellent overall condition.

Factory-default features (a.k.a. the good stuff you get before you ask for the upgrade)
- Hybrid driveline and CVT: Seamless transitions between electric, gas, and combo modes keep city stop-and-go easy, whisper-quiet, and embarrassingly frugal at the pump. The familiar “EV” and “ECO” modes let you tailor performance if you’re feeling particularly zen or need a quick burst of impatience.
- Regenerative braking with “B” mode: Recharge the battery while slowing down. It’s like harvesting free energy from your own foot-discipline — or lack thereof.
- Center-mounted multi-information display: This is Prius’ signature dash layout. You get an easy-to-read hybrid system display, instantaneous and average MPG readouts, trip meters, and energy flow diagrams that make driving feel like piloting a very responsible spaceship.
- Climate control: Automatic climate control keeps cabin temps agreeable without you having to philosophize about airflow. Rear vents and a well-placed vent layout keep the tan interior comfortably livable for humans and their handbags.
- Safety suite: Standard anti-lock brakes (ABS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), traction control, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and Brake Assist combine with a full complement of airbags — front, side, and side curtain — to keep you feeling secure without being smothered by technology.
- Convenience features: Power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering column make every commute feel custom-fitted. The shifter is the intuitive, futuristic “shift-by-wire” style found in Priuses of this era.
- Seating and interior: The tan interior gives the cabin a warm, upscale vibe. Comfortable front buckets and a supportive driver’s seat that was clearly designed by someone who understands long grocery lists exist. Rear seats split and fold to expand the cargo area, making the hatchback both practical and surprisingly accommodating.
- Infotainment basics: Factory audio with AM/FM/CD and auxiliary input for your smartphone or MP3 player — plus a crisp sound stage (upgradeable if you want to impress audiophile neighbors). The steering wheel usually hosts audio and Bluetooth controls for safe, one-handed playlist management.
- Storage & cargo: The hatchback design is inherently practical — lift the rear, drop the seats, and you’ve got a flexible cargo area that can handle suitcases, shopping, a bike (small), or the emotional baggage of modern life.
- Durability & serviceability: Toyota’s reputation for reliability is not a rumor. This platform is known for long life and relatively low-cost routine maintenance, especially for owners who enjoy predictable things like oil changes and tire rotations.

The little things that add up to a big grin
- Visibility: The big windshield and clever roofline give panoramic sight lines that make parking and lane changes feel less like negotiations and more like victory laps.
- Quietness: In electric mode, thi
