The Corolla has a torsion beam rear suspension too.

The 2016- Prius and 2018- Camry are the first vehicles built on Toyota's TNGA (Toyota New Generation Architecture) platform, which is eventually supposed to underpin all their cars.

Trying to retrofit an independent suspension would be prohibitively expensive if it works at all.
