2016 Toyota Prius V
Big mileage and big space . . . but not exactly big fun.

Quick-Take Review
Overview: The Prius V is the big-and-tall Toyota Prius, the one with a huge back seat and 34 cubic feet of cargo space (67 cubic feet with the rear seat folded). And, try as we might, we can’t get it to fit into any particular segment. It’s not a conventional wagon, crossover, or minivan, but it does combine elements of all of those vehicle types.

A high roof gives the impression of spaciousness in the front seat. Slide back the 60/40-split rear seat, and there’s more legroom than in the biggest Lexus sedan, the LS460. The ride is supple, and little noise enters the cabin. Passenger comfort is excellent, which means it’s perfect for ride-sharing or taxi use—just remember, it’s not much fun to drive.
