The Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid just outsold all of Toyota's plug-ins combined
CNN
It might surprise you to learn that the best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle in America is, of all things, a Jeep Wrangler, the burly, boxy SUV engineered for hard off-road driving.
There are other, seemingly more likely contenders, like the like the Toyota Rav4 Prime, a family-friendly crossover, or the Toyota Prius Prime, engineered as an efficiency champion. But the Wrangler 4xe is the plug-in hybrid sales leader by a canyon-sized margin.
In the first half of 2022, the Jeep plug-in outsold the next-most-popular plug-in hybrid, the Toyota Rav4 Prime, by almost double. Toyota reported that it sold 10,153 of its plug-in hybrid SUV in the first six months of 2022 compared to 19,207 plug-in hybrid Wranglers. In fact, the Wrangler 4xe alone outsold all the Toyota and Lexus (Toyota's luxury brand) plug-in hybrid models combined. This is despite the fact that Toyota, which introduced the hybrid Prius to the US in 2001, is a brand that's almost synonymous with hybrids.
