Does anybody know if the 7-seater is properly known as the Prius+ or a variant of the Prius V? The 'V' is said to stand for 'Versatile' but it could be conjectured that it is also the roman numeral V (ie 5). Are the only differences the number of seats inside? All official references by Toyota to the 7-seater that I have seen call it the Prius+ (usually along the lines of a market choosing between the 5-seater Prius V and the 7-seater Prius+). Does anybody have a good reference to calling the 7-seater a Prius V? Or does anyone have a reference that the Prius+ concept car is just a foretaste of a 7-seater Prius V ?

Wasn't sure if I should add this to the main article but thought it might be of interest to other editors. The 7-seater is known as the ZVW40W-AWXGB and the 5-seater is known as the ZVW41W-AXXGB. Curious that the 7-seater uses body type code (2nd letter after dash) W while the 5-seater uses body type code X. W is usually used for passenger wagons (ie more people inside) while X is usually used for cargo vans (ie less people inside). Not really important, it just appeals to me as someone who likes to decode things.
Also, it looks like the XW40 alpha/v/+ will run in parallel to the XW30 sedan, which hints that the next generation will be the XW50/60. But that's just me gazing into my crystal ball. Stepho ( talk) 05:06, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Sorry Mariordo for the edit conflicts. I certainly didn't mean to override your changes. Isn't the WP software supposed to avoid or point out any conflicts? I've had plenty of times in the past where I've typed stuff in, only to have it flagged as a conflict - but at least it has always told me about the conflict. Stepho ( talk) 05:57, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Jafeluv ( talk) 09:39, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
Toyota Prius v → Toyota Prius Alpha – Vehicle was originally released under this name in Japan, the other names should redirect to this, not the other way around. Oosh ( talk) 12:04, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move per request.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 14:08, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

140.0.89.223 believes the Toyota Isis is a predecessor of the Prius V, citing the Japanese WP page. The Japanese WP page does indeed list it as a predecessor but gives no reason or reference. The Isis is a true MPV, whereas the Prius V is a wagon. Anybody have any thoughts? Stepho talk 09:46, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
