Slide 14 The Prius Interior  

• Due to the high seating position, the view is ‘commanding’, which helps to give the Prius a big car feel.

• The step-through front compartment allows entrance and exit via the far door, when the near door is blocked.

• The rear seats have ample headroom and kneeroom, and enough width for three passengers.

• The central digital speedometer is very legible, and placed far enough away to reduce the need for re-focussing.

• The central multi-function display screen shows a mimic diagram of the hybrid system operation by default.

• It can instead show the current, recent, and cumulative fuel consumption, for driver feedback.

• Optionally, the Prius can have a satellite navigation system, using the multi-function screen for display.

• The Prius has additional insulation in the roof and floor, and fully automatic climate control.

• The load on the air conditioner is reduced by supplying only recirculated air to the lower part of the cabin.

• The boot will take four sets of golf clubs, and the rear seat can be split-folded to accommodate long items.
