Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV that you referenced will work on your 2011 Toyota Prius. I checked with Thule and they listed the following fit tips:

Fit Dial Setting 7

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 trunk or hatch.

Caution: Rear wiper can not be used when carrier is mounted.

Always check to make sure there is no contact between the lower straps and the muffler and/or exhaust pipe.

Lower arm of carrier will rest in the bottom of the license plate well.

If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.
