I doubt an OEM would need extra 400lbs for a typical hybrid sedan compared to a similar non-hybrid version, and that's assuming they don't downsize the engine significantly. If they do then someone is probably looking at maybe an extra ~100-200lbs give or take. A prius weighs a whopping ~150lbs more than a Corolla, and it's larger too.
