Featured Record Hybrid Sales Lead 4.2% Overall Sales Growth for Toyota Canada Inc. in 2016

Record Hybrid Sales Lead 4.2% Overall Sales Growth for Toyota Canada Inc. in 2016 | Toyota Canada

(Doesn't a "more than doubled" imply that it's over a 100% increase? not a 54.2% increase?)

	Vehicle	2016 MTD	2015 MTD	% Change	2016 YTD	2015 YTD	% Change
1	Prius c	139	78	78.2%	3136	3029	3.5%
2	Prius Liftback	282	98	187.8%	2855	1624	75.8%
3	Prius v	133	185	-28.1%	2105	2497	-15.7%

The Prius c and Prius Liftback are the only Toyota passenger vehicles to see positive increase in sales for 2016. Even the venerable Corolla is down 3.3%. (Corolla is our best selling Toyota car with ~45,500 units compared to ~15.500 units for the Camry - the opposite of the U.S.)

Of note, RAV4, Highlander, 4Runner and even Sequoia are on the positive side for 2016 vs. 2015.

RAV4 is up 6,857 units
Highlander is up 2,552 units
4Runner is up 941 units
Sequoia is up 34 units
Tacoma is up 846 units
Tundra is up 535 units

On the Lexus side, the GS is the only passenger car to see growth (surprisingly since it's near the end of its cycle), up 25 units.


TCI sold a total of 89,120 passenger cars and 128,672 light trucks & minivans for total of 217,792 vehicles.

To put it into perspective, that's just under 9% of what TMS (soon to be TMNA) sold in in the U.S. in 2016 (2,449,630 vehicles)

 

The Prius c is also part of a car sharing program so some of the sales could be going to fleet (I don't know if those numbers reflect that or not). It's also easy to park.

You bet we did. Toyota doesn't separate out the hybrid models but I bet the RAV4 Hybrid is outselling the Camry Hybrid (which was the former best selling hybrid)
