You may not be surprised to learn that 2022 RAV4 Hybrid outsold all other Toyota hybrid vehicles for the first half of 2022.
First half sales show Toyota hybrid customers chose RAV4 Hybrid 86,803 times. That is about 34,000 RAV4 Hybrids more than Toyota sold compared against the first half of 2021 calendar year.
Not bad considering the worldwide vehicle shortage surrounding the entire automotive industry. As Darth Vader would say, “Most impressive.”
2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Popularity
And this absolutely makes sense, as Toyota RAV4 is the best-selling small SUV in the entire country and has been for several years. Better than any other competitor across all brands.

With 40mpg combined and 219 net hybrid horsepower, plus great family versatility, Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has stayed at the forefront for many potential hybrid vehicle customers.
But how did other popular Toyota hybrid models fare for first half 2022?
2022 Toyota Sienna Review
Sienna Hybrid actually outsold RAV4 Hybrid for the first half of 2021 (approximately 56,000 to 52,000 units), but now it finds itself firmly in second place behind RAV4 Hybrid.
For the first six months of 2022, customers bought 34,391 Sienna Hybrid vehicles.
If I can speculate a bit, I attribute this switch to the immense popularity of RAV4 Hybrid (actually the entire Toyota RAV4 lineup really, including RAV4 Prime) and the fact that is pretty challenging to find a 2022 Toyota Sienna to buy all across the country.
And I can see why Sienna Hybrid is in such high demand. Imagine a minivan that gets 36 miles per gallon combined. Plus, it is smooth and comfortable with really good space in all three rows.
Popularity of 2022 Highlander Hybrid
Third place for the first half of 2022 is Highlander Hybrid. Toyota sold 27,809 units of its well-received midsize hybrid SUV.
Smooth. Quiet. Comfortable.
Here is the full sales report for Toyota electrified vehicles for first half 2022.

Have had a new 2022 Rav4 Hybrid XLE Premium for about 3 weeks and love it! Not sure about my mileage yet as I haven't had to put in gas yet.
Only thing I've discovered that I don't like (minor) is if you open the electronic back hatch it unlocks all the doors at the same time. Why? I come outside and open the back to get something out and close it and now my doors are all unlocked unless I remember to lock them manually. Don't see anyway to override or change this option in the settings anywhere.

I’m loving my 2021 Toyota Venza XLE. I just had it a year and have just over 15,000 miles on it. I average 44 mpg when in an area driving under 50 mph and just got off the highway from a 400 mile trip driving speeds over 75 mph and averaged about 37/38 mpg. I’ve previously owned the 4 Runner and RAV4. I like the Venza best.

generally speaking, I have owned and desire toyota vehicles, however, with all the advancement of technology and complexity of design, I find the most basic thing that is most important to me is seat comfort. I this regard, I personally feel that toyota has fallen from good to poor in this specific area, judging from my own experience. I have test driven the rav4 and the camry and couldn't find what I need based on seat design alone. Honda, on the other hand, has a well-designed seat that feels perfect to me...little things make a big difference...just my two cents...

Surprised to see Venza sales down 48%. Especially considering it is based on the RAV4 Hybrid. Dealers around here sell them before they are even hit the lot.

2021 hybrid bought new. Was looking at all brands and types of cars because of relative scarcity where we live (Maui). Been a Honda family for 20 years, and Toyota owners previous to that, and they are both great options. But the choice to go hybrid was the hard one, and I have to say I don't miss the "performance". The mileage is better than stated, it has all the comfort you need, and I expect it to be reliable since Toyota has a ton of experience with the platform. Buy one

My 2021 RAV4 Hybrid Limited with 5,777 miles is currently at 40.4 mpg and climbing. I also have the panoramic glass roof and this adds a little extra to the vehicle weight. A great all around vehicle to own and is excellent for navigating the Minnesota winter storms and slippery roads.

Just got a 21 blue flame Rav4 Hybrid XLE Premium AWD. We sold an Electric Focus that had become a burden since I now work from home and we already have a 16 Miata with skyactiv and a 14 Prius hybrid. Just love the Rav4, there was no other choice in our eyes, we now travel long distances and needed a 4wheeler just big enough for us and the dog.

I've owned 4 Priuses, 2 Camrys, a Corolla and a 4Runner. I have loved all these vehicles but the Prius above all others practical.comfirtable and a great value. As of this past month however we have 2 Hyundai Ioniq electrics in the driveway and I sold off my Prius yesterday. I will not buy Toyota again untill they have an affordable, practical competitive EV. Their dragging their feet and refusing to acknowledge that the BEV is the next logical step has put them in a position where they are in danger of losing a huge chunk of their market share/lead to Tesla and the Chinese and now South Korean Auto Companies. They all have better offerings than Toyota now. Good luck retooling and catching up.

My wife and I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime XLE. We get between 46 and 50 miles on electric mode which is adequate for most of our driving. We have the high current charger, so recharging is amazingly fast. The Rav4 has great acceleration and handles well. We have a Prius Prime as well, so if we time our daily driving well, we can swap between cars and stay in EV mode exclusively.
