Despite being a compact vehicle, you get a decent amount of cargo capacity with the latest Prius. The basic LE trim has up to 23.8 cubic feet when you fold the rear seats up. The higher trim levels give you 20.3 cubic feet overall due to wheel size and other factors.
What about comfort? The Prius comes standard with cloth upholstery, though you get SofTex-trimmed seats on the upper trim levels.

This year’s Prius combines a sporty look with a sleek, aerodynamic design that boosts its efficiency. All models have LED daytime running lights and heated outside mirrors. You can also get a fixed glass roof standard with the Limited or optional with the Nightshade trims.
What about wheels? You get 17-inch alloy wheels with the LE. Higher trims bump this up to 19-inch alloy wheels, and the Nightshade trim adds a black finish for enhanced stylishness.
