Toyota Prius Plus 2011–2015 car dimensions: 4645 mm long, 1775 mm wide and 1575 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,495 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 232 litres.
The cabin offers seven seats across three rows with a spacious feel from the horizontal dashboard and raised seating. A 6.1-inch touchscreen is standard for multimedia with Bluetooth and USB, plus a head-up display. Automatic climate control uses an electric compressor and single dial. Reversing camera is standard. Higher grades add Pre-Crash Safety for automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, plus Intelligent Park Assist.
Boot space is 232 litres with all seven seats up, rising to 505 or 784 litres with the third row folded and a maximum of 1750 litres with second and third rows down. The wide tailgate opening helps with loading.
The Prius+ has zero towing capacity for both braked and unbraked trailers. Payload reaches 620 kg based on kerb and gross weights. It suits family passenger and light cargo duties with standard suspension rather than heavy work.
The cabin feels open and practical for seven adults thanks to raised seating rows that give everyone a clear view forward, plus sliding and reclining second- and third-row seats that fold flat. Front seats offer good support with power lumbar on the driver side and optional heaters. Soft-touch materials and full-thickness glazing with an acoustic windscreen keep road and wind noise low for a calm hybrid drive. Higher grades add a large resin panoramic roof that floods the space with light.
Hybrid system delivers combined fuel use from 4.1 l/100 km under NEDC with CO2 from 96 g/km.
Standard safety kit includes seven airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, VSC, TRC and hill-start assist.
Pre-Crash Safety system with adaptive cruise available on higher grades.
Whiplash Injury Lessening seats and tyre pressure warning standard.
Service intervals typically every 15 000 km or 12 months.
The 1.8-litre full hybrid returns strong real-world economy for a seven-seater, with official combined figures starting at 4.1 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions from 96 g/km on base models. Higher-spec versions sit a little higher but still undercut most conventional MPVs.
Routine servicing follows a 15 000 km or annual pattern for minor checks, with larger services at double that interval. The hybrid battery is designed for long life and carries its own multi-year cover.
Safety equipment centres on seven airbags covering all three rows, electronic stability and traction control, brake assist and active front headrests. Optional radar-based Pre-Crash Safety adds automatic braking and adaptive cruise on upper grades. The model was not separately crash-tested by Euro NCAP, though related Prius variants earned five-star results.
Living with the car is straightforward: the lithium-ion pack sits between the front seats so cargo space stays usable, seats fold quickly for loads up to 1 750 litres, and the hybrid system needs no special owner habits beyond regular dealer visits.
