E46CT

I thought it would be fun to see how our CT200hs compare to the 4th Gen (current) Prius. Not bad at all, actually, particularly in terms of interior room. The 4G prius has considerably more cargo room with the seats up thanks to its additional 9" in overall body length. But in terms of seating area, our seemingly tiny CT200hs aren't at all tiny compared. These aren't ALL specs, but ones I think are interesting to note. Obviously 4G Prius gets better mileage due to advanced powertrain, smaller/lighter wheels and tires, aero shape, and overall weight advantage. But most of that comes at the expense of aesthetics and "luxury," NVH, etc.
