Australia's best-selling hybrids halfway through 2025

Australia's best-selling hybrids halfway through 2025

7NEWS07-07-2025
Toyota is still by far Australia's hybrid vehicle market leader, with just one of its hybrids alone – the RAV4 – outselling the number two and three hybrid auto brands so far this year.
Only one other brand cracked five-digit hybrid deliveries in the first half of 2025, according to VFACTS sales data, and that was Hyundai.
There are far fewer hybrid vehicles on sale in Australia than electric vehicles (EVs), but hybrids account for a larger share of new-car sales overall.

A total of 93,746 hybrids (HEVs) were delivered during the first half of 2025, compared with 25,613 plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and 47,245 EVs.
This means that of the total of 624,130 new vehicles delivered in Australia during the first six months of 2025, 15 per cent were hybrids, 7.6 per cent were EVs, and 4.1 per cent were PHEVs.
Hybrid sales were up 14.9 per cent compared with the first half of 2024.
Brands
Below is a chart listing all the brands that sell hybrids in Australia.
Note this doesn't include PHEVs or mild-hybrids, though it does include Nissan's e-Power vehicles.
Models
Below is a chart listing all the hybrid models offered in Australia.
A total of eight of the top 10 best-selling hybrids were produced by Toyota Motor Corporation, with the other two being Hyundais.
The GWM Tank 500, Honda Accord, Lexus LM, Toyota C-HR and Toyota Tundra are exclusively offered with hybrid power.
Where a model line also includes other powertrain types, we've calculated the percentage of sales the hybrid variants account for.
There's also a caveat with other Toyotas that are listed in the table above.
All Toyota model lines available with a hybrid powertrain lost their standard petrol-powered variants last year, though evidently there was still some leftover stock of certain petrol-only Toyotas.
The Toyota Yaris and Corolla tallies also include the GR Yaris and GR Corolla.
Lexus has also discontinued petrol-only versions of models like the ES, due to their high hybrid take-up rates.
GM Australia and New Zealand splits out its Chevrolet Corvette delivery figures across separate Stingray, Z06 and E-Ray entries. Lump them all together, however, and just 3.9 per cent of Corvettes delivered in the first half of this year were E-Rays.

Toyota Australia recalls almost 70,000 vehicles including RAV4 Hybrid

Toyota Australia has issued a product safety recall notice involving almost 70,000 late-model vehicles across seven model lines, including the Toyota RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Cross, Camry, CH-R, GR Yaris and Kluger. The problem relates to a potentially faulty digital instrument cluster in certain cars produced between July 2022 and April 2025, totalling 69,586 vehicles (see the full VIN list below) in which the speedo and other vital information may not display. 'The subject vehicles have a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel that shows various information (warning and indicator lights, vehicle gauges, messages, etc),' says Toyota in its recall notice. 'There is a possibility that the display can be blank when the vehicle starts and will remain in this state. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. 'Due to improper programming of the combination meter, unnecessary data is repeatedly written to a memory device in the combination meter when the combination meter operates, causing the memory device to deteriorate earlier than intended. 'If this occurs, the monitor will not be displayed at ignition on and will remain in this state. Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list can be found here Specifically, the recall involves the CH-R Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Corolla Hatch Hybrid, Corolla Sedan Hybrid, Corolla Hatch, Corolla Sedan, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Corolla Cross, GR Corolla, GR Yaris, Kluger, Kluger Hybrid, RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid. Toyota Australia says it will contact all owners of affected vehicles, and that its dealers will update the instrument cluster software in affected vehicles free of charge, in a process that takes one to 2.5 hours depending on the model. 'Depending on the dealer's work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time,' said Toyota. In the meantime, Toyota says affected vehicles are safe to drive and asks owners with additional questions or concerns to contact their local/preferred Toyota dealer in the first instance, or the Toyota Recall Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366.
