This is the first generation Prius. In this version, the Prius was a compact sedan. The second and third generation versions were mid-sized cars. Nevertheless, Consumer Reports noted that the cabin felt roomy inside, although the battery pack used up trunk space. Fuel economy was considerably better in the later cars.
