That’s pretty good. I wonder if it has to do with Prius drivers being overly cautious, at least from what I’ve observed.
It all depends on how you slice and dice it, but it isn’t in the lowest 25 as given in the IIHS list:

It does well within it’s size class (small), tying with the Mazda 3.
The five cars with the lowest driver fatalities: Audi A6 4dr 4wd Mercedes E-class 4dr 4wd Toyota Sienna Ford Edge Nissan Armada
The five cars with the highest driver fatalities: Nissan 350Z 2dr Nissan Titan crew cab Chevrolet Aveo Chevrolet Cobalt Nissan Titan extended cab
Interesting to note a 350Z driver died on I-15 last month, racing another car down an onramp to the freeway at Lake Hodges.
