Hello. I am choosing to buy Prius. I have some questions about the dimensions of the car: - What is the distance of the car from the ground ? - Height of the seats when they are in the highest position from the ground ? - Until now I was driving minivans and I'm afraid in prius that sits very low position ? One more thing. The Prius was launched in September 2015. What is the policy regarding Toyota renovation and facelift models? Are they working facelift after two or three years. I intend to buy a car at the end of year, but I would not like that at the beginning of 2018 comes out a refurbished model. Rather then wait a bit.
check the gen 4 stickies, the dimensions should all be there. it does sit low, but you'll have to try one yourself, tough for us to feel your pain. i didn't notice a difference from my 2012 gen 3. a facelift is generally in the 4th year of 6 years of production. we expect the 2019 model, which will be here in 2018. europe maybe a bit different. all the best!
Bisco is right, the gen 4 sits low. You'll think you're in a gocart compared to a minivan. Toyota doesn't change much bodywise between models. The entertainment system may get tweaked or option packages mixed around, but no big changes. We won't see a major change now until 2020 at the earliest.
