Why lower the end gearing instead of just 1,2 and maybe 3 ?
Sure it's the easier way, but on a hybrid there plenty of more complex things.

dueto the hybrid, the rpm are adapted to the needed level. the gearing has more effect for the elektric parts, than for the rpms.
the V has more drag and rollresistance, so if the prius is geared right, the prius V needs a change for sure.
