and that battery has to go somewhere.
Considering the rear suspension switched from the sedan's multilink IRS to a torsion beam due to clearance issues which would decrease the trunk capacity, presumably it would make sense to use a smaller Lithium battery such as the one fitted to the Prius C and 7-seater versions of the Prius V instead.
