Hybrids surge while Detroit's automakers fall behind
Original: hybrid vehicle
Hybrid vehicle sales are accelerating, with foreign automakers like Toyota leading the charge while Ford, GM and Stellantis lag behind in third-quarter results. At the same time, the Toyota Prius itself has slumped from 237,000 annual sales to roughly 17,000 so far in 2026, as buyers shift to Toyota's broader hybrid lineup. Commentators are debating whether the pioneering Prius is nearing the end of its run.
Why now: New quarterly sales data shows hybrids gaining market share while American automakers trail their foreign competitors.
