Boasting a 20-percent decrease in weight, the car has been on a diet with a curb weight of 3,274 lbs. Although the Prius V is three inches longer, and three inches taller than the standard Prius, the two vehicles share the same drivetrain. From there, the V features a taller greenhouse and more usable space behind the rear seats through a swing-up cargo door.
