The Toyota Hybrids That Are Quietly Leaving The Prius Twins In The Dust
The 2026 Toyota Prius remains a leader in hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology, despite its niche demand.

In September 2026, Toyota delivered 2,111 standard Prius hybrids and 1,272 of the PHEVs. The HEV recorded 16,731 units sold year-to-date through September 2026, versus the PHEV’s 12,492 units.
While earlier production constraints impact year-over-year figures, the Prius maintains its position as Toyota’s foundational hybrid halo vehicle within an expanding catalog of electrified SUVs, sedans, and trucks. Most of Toyota’s electrified SUVs, sedans, and trucks are outselling the hybrid hatch.
