Curt manufactures the # e98848 hitch for us. They don't list the hitch as a fit for the hybrid model, but we have successfully installed the hitch on a hybrid model and several of our customers have provided feedback that it's a confirmed fit. (See the provided photo).

Installation on the Hybrid is the same as what's shown in the video I've linked for you, but trimming the underbody panel will be different as that panel is different on Hybrid models. Because Curt doesn't 'officially' list the hitch as a fit, we don't have hybrid-specific instructions.
