    I have a Prius Prime but the 6 footer kids are complaining about having to slouch. Would the Prius V work for tall back seat passengers or do I need to look at a Rav4?

    The rear seat of the Prius v is exceptional in space and includes reclining seats with back and forth adjustments. It is often used as a taxi because of this fact. The problem is they stopped making them in 2017 and even then it was built in small hard to get quantities. But I would only recommend a 2016 or 2017 low mileage version because of some engine issues that were somewhat improved. The Rav4 hybrid, 2019 and 2020 is a new design and will get close to the same mpg as a Prius v. It is also awd standard. But they are still very popular, made in Japan only, and usually command msrp (or equivalent after the dealer adds his $199 nitrogen, $399 etches, $499 tint and $599 paint protection).

    Both Prius v and RAV4 have excellent rear seat headroom.

    My 6'4" opinion is the v rear seat headroom rocks.
