2016 Toyota Prius Specs - Exterior and Interior Dimensions

2016 Toyota Prius Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	For a compact hatchback, the new Toyota Prius feels very roomy inside. It helps that the tall, sloping console of the third-generation Prius has been replaced by one with a much less intrusive (if also less sporty) design. The deep instrument panel is scooped out on top, while the windshield is large and distant. The view forward from the driver seat is very open, but anyone who isn't a goldfish will find it unusual. It's like driving a spaceship, in two senses. Or a small minivan. The Ford C-MAX has a crossover-like driving position and the most comfortable seats. The front seats in the Prius are nicely shaped, but less firm. Those in the Volt could use more contour. I found the Civic's front seats somewhat uncomfortable. The Volt feels far tighter inside. Up front the windshield seems far smaller than that in the Prius. The back seat, while its cushion is comfortably positioned, threatens to induce claustrophobia. Both the Prius and the Volt have restricted visbility to the sides and especially to the rear. The view is much better from the driver seat in the C-MAX. see full Toyota Prius review

2016 Toyota Prius Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Rear seat passengers in the Prius have far more knee room than those in the Volt, and feel far less closed in. Despite a low-mounted seat cushion, though, headroom is limited. Rear seat passengers in the C-MAX enjoy a much more comfortably positioned seat cushion, significantly more headroom, and better outward visibility. see full Toyota Prius review

2016 Toyota Prius Powertrain: Cons
Year	Comment
	Drive the Prius for maximum efficiency, and you'll irritate whoever happens to be behind you. It feels most right when driven slowly, though. In power mode with a heavy foot the Prius becomes reasonably quick, but with a rubber band effect to the powertrain operation. The lack of precise control over the gasoline engine can be disconcerting in spirited driving. On the positive side of the ledger, engine noise is suppressed well and transitions between electric-only power and gas-plus-electric are far, far smoother than in the early Prius. It's often necessary to glance at the instrument panel to tell whether the gasoline engine is running. The C-MAX's power delivery feels smoother and considerably stronger in typical driving. The all-electric Volt is the champ in this area, though. The Chevrolet's electric motors, much stronger than those in the Prius, deliver their power almost instantaneoulsy in a smooth, nearly silent rush. Compared to that of the Prius, the Volt's acceleration feels much more effortless. In objective terms, it can get from a stop to 60 mph about two seconds sooner, about 8 vs. about 10, a big difference. The Ford splits the difference. see full Toyota Prius review
