Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Toyota Prius+ is far more than a Prius with a bit more space. Not only does it use a completely different (and more efficient) battery system, Toyota has also tuned the car specifically to take into account its extra size and weight. It has a new tune for its suspension, a fresh calibration for its electric power steering and overall gearing reduced by 13% to help provide a little more performance.
As for its packaging, perhaps the most instructive comparison is to the Avensis estate. The Prius + is substantially shorter and narrower, yet – despite packing seven seats instead of five – offers almost as much luggage space when the rearmost seats are folded.
