The "longer disatnces" argument for estates does not hold up - Prius are usually company cars due to BIK - lots with 100k miles in 3 years.
Remember the estate has largely been superceded by a 5 door hatch... and with regen braking etc a different drivetrain may involve significant reprogramming of ECU and control gubbins on a hybrid - all inter-related.
Not an easy or cheap job and ? worth while .
You can always buy a Lexus SUV hybrid :-) .. or a few others...
