    Hey guys,

    I searched but didn't quite find all the info I was looking for...could someone take some measurements for me? I'd like to know how big the cargo area is with the seats up and down. I'd like to know the depth from the bumper side to where the seats end when folded, the width of the hatch area, the heighth of the lowest part of the hatch, etc. The more detail, the better!! I was looking at a Rav-4 yesterday and started second guessing if the Prius will fit my cargo needs...

    Thanks!

    Mike

    Dimensions will never suffice, since both volumes are irregular. Take a load to the dealer and see how it fits in both vehicles...

    No detail, just one data point. If you need to carry a 4'x8' sheet of anything, it won't fit inside the Prius, the hatch is not big enough. Came as a shock to me given how much junk you can fit in the back of the Prius.

    Thanks guys...can someone give me a minimum width with the seats down? I have a piece of equipment thats 44 inches wide and want to know if it will fit in sideways in the rear part of the hatch. A minimum height in the hatch would be good too. The same piece is about 18" tall...


    Thanks.

    The 18" height is no problem, but I'm not sure about the width. All I know for certain is that it two narrow for a 4 x 8 sheet of anything. My car is at home right now.
