    Hey everyone, I just bought a 2013 V, and someone at some point removed all of the side and rear underbody panels, and "forgot" to put them back. Are all the underbody panels the same as the regular prius? I can't find any part numbers anywhere to cross reference.

    There ar no side underbody panels on the Prius v. They are only found on the regular Gen 3 Prius.

    Unless it is the under engine covers he’s looking for.

    Oh that would explain one of the gas mileage differences . No, I was talking about the side and rear panels. I have a gen3 Prius, I'm gonna see if they fit. There's threaded studs there, that's why I assumed they were missing. Thanks Georgina

    They will not fit the Prius v. The structure is different.

    Maybe the v has more panels elsewhere in the world?

    Our 06 Civic Hybrid was thus: US model had more complete under panels than (our) Canadian.

    I would assume so, since they put the threaded studs in, but I've been searching for days now, and I can't find anything.

    I haven't been able to find anything for my '13 Prius V either. Will post if I find something.
