Whether or not you've ever owned or considered a hybrid vehicle as one for you, there is no denying the growing momentum that the market segment has seen over the last few years. Our team at Northway Toyota has grown used to offering hybrid models, with the first Toyota Prius model coming way back in 1999 before going global in 2000. As of January 31st, Toyota achieved what many thought would be unthinkable by selling more than 10 million hybrid vehicles - including more than a million units from May 2016 alone. Over three million of those models have been sold here in North America at dealerships just like ours in Latham, NY, and the growing alternatives to conventional gas powertrains is not stopping anytime soon.
“The Prius stands as an icon for sustainability and efficiency, and is a shining example of what you can achieve when you have the right idea to help solve a problem,” said Bob Carter, senior vice president of automotive operations for Toyota Motor North America. “Hybrids remain an important part of our lineup of vehicles, with over 246,000 units sold last year, and we have seen continued demand with the release of the RAV4 Hybrid variant of the popular compact SUV, accounting for nearly 13 percent of its total sales volume in 2016.”
