"Efficient, well-built seven-seater Toyota Prius offers all the practicality and economy needs a large family."

The Toyota Prius is a larger seven-seater MPV version of the popular hatchback Prius. It uses the same combination of an electric motor and gasoline engine impressively - it is the only seven-seat model on the market that emits less than 100 g / km CO2. not Expect although thrill of driving behind the wheel, it attracts the Prius + slowly and evenly driven - floor the throttle and the whine of the automatic transmission rather noisy, when an update in 2016 has helped make the transmission less noisy. The seven seats are three rows, and a huge panoramic glass roof - standard - floods the interior with light.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

only seven-seater MPV with emissions below 100 g / km
Low operating costs worldwide are an important part of the Prius + 's appeal. The fuel consumption and emissions are 68.9mpg and 96g / km if you go for the lower spec T4 model, and 64.2mpg and 101g / km for the top-spec T Spirit. So, while both models are relatively inexpensive family transportation available, it is the T4 model, which will cost less in the long run.

, the Prius + is meant not to be fast or sporty to drive; Instead, it is designed to be as smooth, quiet and comfortable as possible. put your foot down in the Sport mode Yet - one of three settings, which also include EV and Normal - and the performance is more than adequate. Overall 134bhp is available when the 1.8-liter gasoline engine and electric motor work together, enabling a 0-62mph time of 11.3 seconds. + Easily make light steering and smooth automatic transmission, the Prius to drive in the city, and although 155mm longer and 30mm wider than the standard Prius, it never feels significantly larger or heavier on the street.

Interior & Comfort

Quiet , comfortable and spacious for long family trips
It might not be the most attractive form on the road, but the Prius + 's styling is extremely aerodynamic. This helps to improve fuel consumption, but also reduces wind noise at high speeds - so the interior is extremely quiet, even on the highway. The thin-backed seats are very comfortable and the top-spec T Spirit version comes in leather executed, the entire interior a sophisticated atmosphere. In corners, some body roll from side to side notice, but the pay-off for soft suspension is good comfort levels, even on rough surfaces. The latest Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system was introduced in 2016, simple and make intuitive car using the infotainment system.

adults should close third row avoid long journeys
, the Prius + is the first non-plug-in Prius to use smaller, lighter lithium-ion batteries, which slot under the second row of seats, without affecting interior. All five rear seats fold individually downward while the second row slides back and forth, too. This is a real seven-seater, so that even medium-sized adults to squeeze in the third row, but in fact it is more suitable to children. Boot space is a whopping 0 liters available with all seven seats, but fold the third row and increases to 505 liters, while there are 1,750 liters of space with the second row folded to flat. This is an opportunity offered behind the 2297 liters by the SEAT Alhambra, but useful nonetheless. A boat that opening is 95 mm wider than the Prius a practical function, also is.
