About the 2014 Toyota Prius v

1st generation Prius v (2012-2017 US), third model year and last pre-refresh year before the 2015 styling update.

Toyota positioned the Prius v as the family-sized Prius: the biggest and roomiest member of the Prius group, built for active households that wanted much more cargo room than the regular Prius without moving to a small SUV. Its identity centered on 42 mpg combined fuel economy, a higher seating position, a flexible rear seat, and cargo space Toyota said topped most small SUVs. The appeal was simple: Prius efficiency with more everyday usefulness.

Toyota positioned the 2014 Prius v as a roomy, family-focused hybrid wagon and an alternative to many small SUVs. The Two has a backup camera, a 6.1-inch touchscreen, and sliding and reclining rear seats, while the Three adds built-in navigation. The Five is the premium version, with heated SofTex-trimmed front seats, LED headlights, fog lights, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

“Car drives great. User interface, navigation and media controls are a disaster. Engine and driving experience is awesome. User interface for electronics, navigation and audio is awful.”

“This vehicle should be available with roof rack. In general, smaller vehicles need to have more luxury interior options.”

“Several things I would like to improve: 1) more power 2) blind spot monitor as standard equipment 3) sometimes difficult to see the sides of the vehicle 4) bluetooth not always working 5) when washing the car, soap stays on edge of doors”
