The 2016 Volt also has a lighter, smaller pack, one that GM claims delivers more stored energy too. Technological advances, possibly. And in general, the 2016 Prius and 2016 Volt have converged a bit in their general aero body shape too (though not at all in details like lights and windows).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
