Hi,
I’ve been looking (online) at both the 2009+ Prius and Auris. Not done a test driver of either. If anyone has the Prius/Hybrid Auris/Auris tourer, what’s the capacity like for bikes? The tourer will be bigger but just wondering whether it’s a deal-breaker for cramming in two adult bikes and a toddler bike (my current Focus hatch can fit them all in, wheels off, with space for bags).
Also, any other opinions on these models appreciated.
The 2012 onwards one is slightly longer and narrower than a Golf with seats folded, ie fine with the front wheel off. Tourer is huge. Earlier model has a weird shaped boot for the battery (later were designed around hybrid drivetrains from the start) but I still wouldn't see it as a big problem.
Prius is a shallow but wide and long boot, ideal for bikes.
