All this power is transmitted to all wheels via the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7 ‑ speed sports transmission, with shorter ratios selected in gears three to seven, giving the driver an even more emotively

Keep in mind also: Reviewers who pan the Prius as a frumpy just - OK ride are often enthusiasts who like the finer things in automotive life — such as ability to push the edge of lateral
acceleration to near club - racer levels, or alternately, the
experience offered by a plush, finely appointed car with more power also, adding to fashionable curb
appeal.
