Yes and no.
The NHW11 (2001-03) is a sedan body and there is an opening behind the rear seat:
That is where the traction battery is located, a significant hump. The rear seat back is normally released by two bolts at the bottom and then lifted up. In Europe and Japan, they had a folding rear seat option but I've not been able to find one in North America.
