What Kind of Vehicle Is the Prius?
The first of our top 10 questions has to do with what kind of vehicle the Prius is, and we get this question a lot because many people aren’t sure if it’s a sedan or not. Technically, it’s not.

The wheelbase is 108.3 inches. The ground clearance is 6 inches, and the overall length is 181.1 inches, which is a hair more than 15 feet.
