Toyota hybrid onslaught: RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Cross, Yaris Cross and Kluger to drop petrol engines and join C-HR, Yaris and new Camry with only petrol-electric drivetrains

AutoExec Summary
Toyota’s popular models like the RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Cross, Yaris Cross, and Kluger will soon be exclusively available with hybrid power. The C-HR, Camry, and Yaris hatchback are already confirmed as hybrid-only options. However, models like the HiLux and LandCruiser will continue to run on diesel engines without hybrid assistance. Toyota aims to have at least half of its sales as electric or hybrid by 2025. The brand has seen a significant increase in demand for hybrids, with wait times for the RAV4 Hybrid exceeding two years. Prices are expected to rise as more affordable petrol options are phased out. Toyota leads the way in hybrid sales, with 70% of petrol-electric sales coming from them.
