The Toyota Prius+ Plus is basically a bigger version of the Prius – a hybrid seven-seat MPV. Can it tow? Want to take your bikes along.

Even from the outside, it’s clear that the Toyota Prius+ Plus is very much a part of the Prius range, and that family look continues inside. Drivers of the regular Prius hatchback will feel right at home in a Prius+ Plus, as the design is virtually the same. 

There’s no criticising the amount of space on offer. As you’d expect from a people carrier, it has loads of space inside. There’s plenty of room in the front, and reasonably tall passengers will be comfortable in the middle row. Even the third row of seats is reasonably spacious, although they’re more suitable for children than adults.

Fold-down all the rear seats and you have 1,750 litres of space to play with – which is far more than in a standard Prius. In five-seat mode, the boot will take almost 800 litres – which is impressive – and although it shrinks to only just over 200 litres with all seven seats upright, that’s not significantly worse than you would find in any of the alternatives.

The Prius+ Plus copes well with city life, thanks to its light steering and easy manoeuvrability. 

If you settle back into a more relaxed driving style, you can get very good economy from the car – particularly if you spend a lot of time driving around town. And those low running costs are the main reason buyers will be attracted to the car.

The 2019 update still combines uncompromised agility with space for a growing family, Prius + Plus delivers stand-out style, with cleverly designed aerodynamic features and sleek lines enhanced by LED Daytime Running Lamps.

Inside and out, the Prius + Plus is equipped with advanced driver technologies that make the journey easier, smoother and a whole lot more connected and intuitive than ever before.

The Prius+ Plus does impress; it’s a very frugal seven-seater that is practical and works well around town. However, it does have its limitations beyond the city limits.
