Prius v is a new model variant of the Toyota Prius, unveiled at this year’s Detroit auto show.
It comes as a hybrid MPV-style car, adopting the similar platform as applied on the previous Prius hatchback.
But it is more flexible and spacious inside, therefore suitable to be used by active families.
Compared with its sister model, interior cargo offered by the Prius v is 50% or even more larger.
Its design is not merely an elongation of the current car, but it has an evolutionary shape.
The seats are fitted on high position, for delivering good visibility and comfort.
The hatch can be opened widely, allowing convenient loading. And behind the rear seats, there is a load-space of 970 liters.
The second line seats feature slide adjustment, and can be leaned in a nearly flat position.
And overall flexibility of the interior is completed by the 60:40 split-folding function.
Fuel economy rating of the Prius v is expected by Toyota to be the best among any estate, SUV, or crossover on US market.
