According to Toyota, the Prius v has 34.3 cubic feet of cargo volume seats up, and 67.3 seats folded. That's comparable to the 2013 Escape's 34.3/68.1, the 2012 CR-V's 37.2/70.9 and the 2013 CX-5's 34.1 / 65.4.
And the 42 MPG combined of the Prius v is nice.
Another thing, I think, is that the Prius v or any wagon is more practical because the cargo volume is similar but the cargo floor area is larger (you don't have to pile stuff up to use up the volume).
