This Year, the Camry Hybrid Is Outpacing the Corolla and RAV4 Hybrids—Together
In March Alone, the Camry Hybrid Outsold Corolla and RAV4 Hybrids by Nearly 7,000 Units
In March 2025, Toyota moved an impressive 29,655 units of the Camry Hybrid—putting it well ahead of the pack. That single model outsold two ofToyota’s usual hybrid heavy-hitterscombined.
The Corolla Hybrid notched 5,529 sales, and theRAV4 Hybridadded 14,524, bringing their total to 20,053. Even together, they couldn’t close the gap.
That’s nearly 10,000 fewer units than the Camry Hybrid—a surprising margin. If you’d asked me which Toyota hybrid would be on top, I wouldn’t have guessed this one.

Even With 2,631 Plug-in RAV4s Counted, the Camry Still Comes Out on Top
What makes the Camry’s sales surge even more impressive is that Toyota’s March numbers for theRAV4include an extra 2,631 plug-in hybrids. Even with that boost, the RAV4 still couldn’t close the gap.
The Camry Hybrid, which doesn’t even offer a plug-in option, managed to outsell the Corolla Hybrid and RAV4 Hybrid combined. No fancy charging port—just solid, old-school hybrid dominance.
With numbers like these, it’s easy to imagine a plug-in Camry being a runaway success if Toyota ever built one. We’re not holding our breath, but how cool would that be?

Is the Camry Hybrid King of the Toyota Lineup?
When you look at specs, price, and everyday practicality, it’s easy to see why the Camry is winning over so many buyers this year. It packs more horsepower than both the Corolla and RAV4 Hybrids, while still delivering impressive fuel economy and a best-in-class range of up to 663 miles.
The Camry also offers more features than the Corolla and comes in well below the RAV4 Hybrid’s starting price of $32,300. Sure, the RAV4 boasts extra cargo space and some off-road chops, but the Camry balances comfort, efficiency, and affordability in a way that’s hard to beat.

TheCorolla Hybridis definitely the budget-friendly pick in Toyota’s hybrid lineup, starting at just $23,825—but with only 138 horsepower and a smaller 13.1-cubic-foot trunk, it’s a bit limited in what it offers. The Prius is another strong contender, boasting up to 57 MPG combined and a starting price of $28,350, just under the Camry.
There’s also the Prius Prime plug-in, which offers 44 miles of all-electric driving, though it starts at a steeper $33,375. But if you’re after an efficient, spacious, and well-rounded sedan that balances price, power, and practicality, the 2025 Camry Hybrid makes a seriously strong case for itself.
