It is not about top speed, but getting there.
The Audi A2 1.2 TDI 3L takes 15 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill. Imagine what a heavier Prius with a smaller engine would do... it would even struggle to maintain speed at a slight incline.
Before you put a 2 cylinder diesel engine in a Prius, first rent a Nissan Serena diesel to get a feel for what you would be dealing with performance wise.
If that does not cure you, go ahead as planned
