Quick answer
Is the Toyota Prius+ a 7-seater?
Yes. Every UK Prius+ has seven seats.
A seven-seat hybrid people carrier with an excellent reliability record, according to Honest John. The third row suits children and Euro NCAP never tested it.
On this page
The Toyota Prius Plus 7-seater, sold as the Prius+, was on sale new from 2012 to 2020, always with a petrol-electric hybrid system and a CVT automatic, so there is no manual or diesel to choose.
The boot holds about 200 litres with all seats up. It sits on older Prius underpinnings, and Honest John points out that newer hybrids are more efficient.

Third row: who fits?
Third row suitsChildren
Honest John rates the third row as fine for children, but adults will not want long spells there. Sliding the middle seats forward frees more third-row legroom at the cost of middle-row space. Carwow also sees the back row as better for children than adults.
