How does the Prius handle weight distribution when carrying full passenger and cargo loads?

With the hybrid battery positioned under the rear seats, the Prius has a balanced weight distribution. Discussing how it affects handling and fuel efficiency when fully loaded can be useful.

The hybrid battery in the Prius is placed under the rear seats, giving the car a balanced weight distribution.
This layout helps maintain stable handling, but when fully loaded, the rear may feel more weighted down.
The low center of gravity thanks to the battery placement contributes to better stability, especially when navigating turns o r cornering.
