We anticipate the Prius V will be in high demand initially, but Prius buyers tend to load on the luxury features, because they can afford to--so if you're looking for economical family transport that gets great gas mileage, go for the base-level Prius V Two, if you can find one.

The 2012 Toyota V wagon offers all the classic Prius hybrid virtues--low-speed electric running, top-of-class fuel economy, and interior space--in a super-sized package that still offers remarkable gas mileage ratings. We think it will do very well among Prius owners with families who need the extra space for people and stuff. |
The 2012 Honda CR-V is a great family vehicle, with a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, and improved refinement, but it lacks the confident, sprightly feel present in past CR-Vs. |
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 remains a strong, refined choice for families, even though some of its design might be a blast from the past. |
