Toyota is going mostly hybrid in Europe and so far it pays off with growing sales volume and market share. Plug-in sales are just symbolic, but two new models are coming in 2020.

In 2019, the Toyota group (including Lexus) sold 1,089,422 cars (up 5.2%) and 52% of them happened to be hybrids (63% in Western Europe). For the Lexus brand, the hybrid share is even higher - 67% (96% in Western Europe). Not strange if you offer 20 hybrid models.

But the plug-in hybrids, represented solely by the Toyota Prius Prime (aka Prius Plug-in Hybrid) account for a marginal 0.26% share, as just 2,572 units were sold. That's 11.4% of the Prius family (22,621).

"We are very satisfied with another strong performance in 2019 against quite uncertain market conditions. The continued growth of Toyota and Lexus during this period is testament to the company’s strategy to focus on new product and broadening our hybrid electric line-up. We thank our customers for their trust and their loyalty. We are confident that we can maintain this momentum in 2020, with the launch of seven models including new Yaris, and by extending our electrification strategy with the introduction of Toyota RAV4 PHEV and Lexus UX BEV"
