Toyota has always been known for making accessibly priced vehicles that hold their residual value, but they’re also known as something else: the fathers of the hybrid. Ever since the Prius arrived on the scene in 1997, the automotive industry has taken note and gasoline-electric technology is more prevalent than ever before. But only Toyota can claim to have sold 10 million units worldwide.
That’s right, friends. In the second month of 2017—which marks twenty years since the first-generation Prius went on sale—Toyota is celebrating its 10 millionth hybrid model sold. In the last two decades, the Japanese automaker has used the Prius’ technology in many of its vehicles, and today, they offer eight different hybrids in the U.S. Of these, the Prius is the most popular, accounting for 6 million of that 10 million number!
