FCAI release on July 3, 2024

On June 4, 2024, Toyota Australia announced that the petrol-only variants of RAV4 and all other models where HEV options are available will no longer be sold.

Toyota Corolla and Camry sedans and the Corolla Cross, RAV4, and Kluger SUVs are now 100% HEV for customer orders, joining Yaris Cross SUV, Corolla and Yaris hatches, and new-generation C-HR SUV in the “HEV-only family”.

This HEV approach, which is driven by strong customer demand in Australia, was central to global decisions.

Toyota Australia said its HEV share reached a record 33.5% in 2023 and has jumped to 46.6% in the first 5 months of 2024 as it sold 46,821 HEV units. In 2025, more than half of Toyota sales in 2025 are expected to be HEVs or BEVs. 

Since the launch of the original Prius in October 2001, Toyota Australia has sold over 430,000 HEVs.
