Toyota had huge success with its first hybrid in California and that is continued even today, when 61 percent of all hybrids sold there are Toyotas.
Despite the competition, with Ford sales up to 517% over last year, Toyota still maintains its supremacy over the “hybrid reign”.

“The hybrid industry has become competitive, but our wide-range of hybrid vehicles continue to deliver high value and strong attributes to both new and loyal customers,” said Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. “With sales of 5.3 million hybrids globally and over 2 million in the U.S., we the are undisputed leader in hybrid vehicle technology and remain committed to building on our momentum and growing the acceptance of hybrid technology throughout the U.S.”

With over ten years since the first Toyota Prius was offered in the United States, the automaker has vastly increased its green vehicle range, adding three more models to the Prius family (Plug-in, v and c models) as well as three new cars to bear a hybrid powertrain - Camry, Avalon and Highlander.
