Toyota Prius camper

The Prius gives you unmatched consumption whilst still boasting a good-size boot for a station wagon/estate body type, even with the battery being in the boot. So if you are looking for a low-fuel cost car that you still can sleep in, the Toyota Prius is a very good choice.

This car’s boot is 190 cm long ⤢, 79 cm tall ↕, and 102 cm wide ↔.

  • boot length with seats up (cm): 98
  • If you are looking for a bit more room, go for the Prius+
  • The odd-shaped boot actually works really well for camping because the boot floor sticks out more than the tailgate opening – so you can sit in the boot back-straight without hitting your head into the tailgate or boot opening. See how in this video.
    • PLUS – when inside and the tailgate is closed, you can stargaze through the boot door 🙂
  • IMPORTANT – always check where does your Prius have its battery cooling vents, so you don’t block them with clothes or a DIY camping conversion kit
  • The boot height is average for an estate, but there is a lot of storage space behind the battery in the double-floor compartment that’s also removable (it’s basically a plastic box you can take out, with all your stuff inside)
  • NCAP safety rating: 5/5
  • ADAC autotest (lower = better): 2.4
