The Prius is a compact hybrid with a length of around 180 inches 4.6 meters and a width of approximately 69 inches 1.75 meters.
Its turning radius of about 17-18 feet 5.2-5.5 meters makes it fairly maneuverable in city traffic.
However, its low ground clearance 5.1 - 5.3 inches may be a challenge when navigating over high curbs o r rough parking lots.
Parking is relatively easy due to its compact size, but rear visibility might be limited due to the split rear window design.
