    Like! (Well, like the information, not what the information says.)

    When you said it was not any form of Prius, I was guessing it would be the Corolla Hybrid, although, granted, that’s a new offering.

    Australia December 2019
    Corolla - 30,468 sales
    Toyota RAV4 - 24,260 sales
    PRIUS - who knows - miniscule

    Not sure the percentage of Hybrids, but last I read, both were about 50%. RAV4 Hybrid sales are stifled by supply issues - still at least 4 months wait for an order for the top model.

    Total HYBRID sales - 30,641 - up 53% on 2018.
    EV and plug-in hybrids - 2925 plus a few TESLAs - TESLA won't report how many.

    Coming in 2020 - C-HR Hybrid, Yaris Hybrid, Forester Mild Hybrid, VOLVO V40 PlugIn Hybrid maybe. Possibilities are Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Honda Accord Hybrid.

    Of those coming, I suspect YARIS will probably have most impact.
