The Toyota Prius v is a compact station wagon version of the third generation Prius; alongside the Prius and the Prius c (a cheaper, subcompact version of the Prius) the Prius v makes up the last of the Prius family. Car shipping for the Prius v is virtually the same as the Prius and Prius c, so you won’t have to worry about prices going up or down because you have the hatchback version of the Prius as opposed to the subcompact or regular version. This helpful car shipping article will explain some of the key features available on the current Prius v lineup, as well as what you can expect when it comes to finding a reliable car shipping quote.
The Prius v comes in three different models, the Prius v Two, Prius v Three and Prius v Five. The Prius v Two features a Hybrid Synergy Drive with EV/ECO/POWER modes, Display Audio with integrated backup camera and the Smart Key System. The Prius v Three features what the Two does, though it also features Toyota’s Entune entertainment system. The Prius v Five features that of the Two and Three as well as LED headlamps with an auto on/off feature, SofTex-trimmed seats, 17-inch alloy wheels and an available Advanced Technology Package.
Car shipping for a Toyota Prius v is much the same as the Prius c and Prius in that it won’t be subject to overweight car shipping fees because it is still a sedan-sized car. Most car shipping companies charge higher prices for shipping heavier or larger vehicles, so avoiding these expenses is a good way to save a bit of money. Shipping a car is expensive, and prices vary depending on where you’re shipping from and to. Longer distances between pickup and delivery will cost more than shorter trips, and as car shipping companies tend to stick to highly traveled interstate highways and through major metropolitan areas, your prices will also vary depending on how difficult it is to get in or out of your chosen cities. You can speak to a live car shipping representative if you’re shipping on a budget and need help saving a bit of money as well, and we would recommend speaking to someone before placing an order with any car shipping company, to make sure you have all your facts straight and know what you will be facing.
