Expert Reply:

Yes, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay # TH45JV is confirmed to fit both the 2016 Prius C 5-door hatchback and the V 5-door wagon.

Both have some fit tips that I've listed below for you:
Place top clips in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk, hatch or door. Place lower clips in the bottom edge of the trunk or hatch. Rear wiper cannot be used when carrier is mounted and lower arm of carrier should be positioned on upper tier of bumper.

If you plan on transporting any alternative framed bikes, like many women's bikes are, you will need to use an adapter bar like # UB01 to mount them properly to the bike rack.

I have linked the above mentioned products to this page for your purchasing convenience.
