“New” Volt (Gen2) is a 5 seater but nothing on the market is cavernous like a Gen II or III Prius, even the RAV4 and SUVs are tiny inside

I’m told the Prime eventually gained a 5th seat and is likely the best new car value (as long as you drop $20k on one in Rhode Island)

RAV4 has less interior space than a Prius?

Guess I'm taking that one off my list, because I consider the Prius to be the minimum utility I would want in a vehicle.

Less usable storage, the rear is tall and narrow compared to a PRII making for some becoming frustrated trying to stow certain box objects
