I am just over 6 ft. and spouse at 5ft 4. The seat can be raised plus forward and back. It fit us both well. see full Toyota Prius v review |

2005 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
It is great for young children, but not very comfortable for adults. It would LEGALLY allow you to drive many people around, but certainly not comfortably in the third row. Third row does NOT allow room even for kids in car seats to have any leg room. see full Lexus GX review |
