PRIus vs multipla

9

We already mentioned how spacious the Multipla is, but it is really huge. It has six very comfortable seats and because it is such a high car tall people can also sit comfortably in the car. You can also just fold the seats to create even more space. It has abs and air-conditioning of course.

The interior is not really luxurious the seats are made of fabric and the dashboard looks a little bit funny.

The Multipla drives nice, very direct and because you it is such a high car you have a good overview on the road.

The Prius is fuel efficient what makes paying at the petrol station comfortable, but it is a little bit average for a sedan if you look at the space, it’s not tight but it’s not really spacious either. The interior is sober and the materials used are of a low quality, there is not even real leather on the seats. Although they sit fairly comfortable it would be better if Toyota used fabric or real leather instead of plastic that looks like leather. But it is very quiet which is nice.

The Prius steers indirect and has a lot of over-steer which causes it to drift.

Driving in electric mode is sometimes a little bit difficult because it sometimes switches to the petrol engine to keep the temperature and the interior

I think it’s clear who is the winner here, the multipla

of course it is better designed and the perfect car for anything, you can fit everything in it and it is still fairly fuel efficient.

the Prius is really fuel efficient. But is less spacious and costs more to buy, but maybe it’s cheaper on the long run because of the petrol costs, but who cares about nature anyway?
