Dashboard: Prius sales up 4.5%

January 2010 Dashboard: Hybrids Continue to Beat the Overall Market | Hybrid Cars

Sales of hybrid gas-electric cars outperformed the overall market in Januaryâ€”showing an 11 percent gain compared to January 2009. The overall market was essentially flat compared to one year ago. The red down arrows all over this monthâ€™s Hybrid Market Dashboard result from a 31 percent dip in sales compared to December, when dealers were clearing inventory and offering year-end incentives. Post-holiday sales in January usually show a dip.

Prius continues to carry the weight for the whole hybrid market, representing about half of all hybrid sales. Just about every other model fell year-over-year. The rise in Prius salesâ€”4.5 percent compared to a year agoâ€”was enough to lift the entire market by the 11 percent. Low gas prices, around $2.75 as a national average, arenâ€™t providing any boost for hybrid sales.
