For a Hitch mounted 4 bike bike rack on your 2014 Toyota prius I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches Item # TH934XTR. Keep in mind you do not want to exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch itself.

As far as trunk mounted bike rack we do not offer a 4 bike rack that is compatible with that vehicle.

If you are looking for a hitch, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2"
Item # 306-X7178. This hitch has a 2"x2" reciever tube opening which accomodates many different hitch mounted accessories, has a 200lb tongue weight and a 2000lb gross towing capacity. The Thule Hitching Post Pro come with an adapter sleve to work with both 1-1/4" hitches and 2" hitches.

There is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount Item # HR1400Z. It comes with locks and works with all style bikes. The frame hooks slide up and down to accommodate different frames. If it makes it easier you can also add on the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes Item # HRBA-PRO. When using this rack on a Prius keep in mind the weight of all four bikes and the rack itself. The hitch for a Prius only has a maximum tongue weight of 200lbs which you don't want to exceed. This rack is a bit heavy and it may be close on weight capacity if not exceed it. In my opinion the better option is Thule Hitching post for your vehicle.
