There is a difference between a car that is space efficient, and a big car (for minimizing intrusion in a crash.)
Interior volume does not make a big car. . .just look at the Smart (seats 4).

fwiw:
Prius Length x Width; 175x67.9"
1966 Ford Galaxy: 210x79

On a figure-eight track, which car would you want to be driving?
