    I think this situation is NOT unique to the Priius models.
    Most all cars do NOT have individual vents directly to the back.......so the ventilation air must get there over and around and UNDER the front seats. Cold air sinks, so the floor will be the last place to warm up.
    Making sure there is nothing extra stuffed under the front seats might help.
    Making sure that the back seat passengers do NOT wear "summer" shoes might help too.
