If it does indeed have a 50 - 70 acceleration time of 4.1 seconds, that is impressive.

I wonder what year You Need a Thneed's Dad's Prius is. I think if he was using a "power boost" feature he would have mentioned it.

There are three driving modes: EV, or all-electric, with a very limited distance at 25 mph or less (if there's enough juice in the battery), most useful for underground parking garages (or maybe your teenage son taking his girlfriend home late); ECO, which minimizes fuel consumption by reducing the throttle opening and restricting the air conditioning; and Power for full acceleration.

The difference between Power and ECO is 4.1 seconds from 50 to 70 mph, versus 5.8 seconds
