Great point. Do you know how much the size compares to a Kia Soul? We love our Soul for it's utility and size in an urban setting but for obvious theft-related reasons we don't want to own it for too long. :)

Kia Soul:

    Headroom (Front/Rear): 39.4 in.
    Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 55.5 / 54.7 in.
    Hip Room(Front/Rear): 53.5 / 52.8 in.
    Legroom (Front/Rear): 41.1 / 38.8 in.
    Cargo Volume (Seats Upright): 24.2 cubic feet
    Cargo Volume (Seats Folded): 62 cubic feet

'23 Prius Prime:

    Front head room: 38.0 in.
    Front shoulder room: 55.3 in.
    Front hip room: 54.7 in.
    Front leg room:  42.4 in.
    Cargo Volume (Seats Upright): 20.3 cubic feet
    Cargo Volume (Seats Folded): 26.7 cubic feet

I'm having a hard time believing the Kia Soul has so much more cargo space with the seats folded.

Thank you for that, that's a very detailed comparison! I use my Kia Soul like a truck sometimes, I've hauled around a push lawn mower plus tools as well as large music equipment, just laid canvas down in the back. Very useful. It makes sense that a hatchback vs. a cube car shape you would lose that vertical space.

EDIT: removed the extra "comparison"
