[Car Leasing - Van Leasing - New Cars & Leasing Deals] Lease A Toyota Prius 1.8 VVTi T4 CVT Auto From Only £399.18 per ...: The interior of the Prius has a modern feel and easy to use layout. There is a digital display in the middle of the dashboard which shows speed, fuel level and can also be set up to display the Eco Drive Monitor which shows the battery is fully charged. Unfortunately the driver’s seat doesn’t move for height and the steering wheel could do with more reach adjustment but most people should still be able to find a comfortable driving position. There is plenty of space for four adults especially rear leg and headroom in the back. The engine is very quiet so even at high speeds there is very little wind noise and the ride is impressive too. The boot in the Prius is large and wide with a luggage capacity of 445 litres. The rear seats are able to split 60/40 and fold flat to create a long area for larger items. There is a very useful underfloor boot storage tray which is great for hiding items or from stopping them sliding around. There is plenty of storage in the front including a split-level glovebox and a large central bin between the seats.
