The Toyota Yaris Cross is the best-selling and most-produced F-HEV in Europe in 2024
- In a European market (30 countries = EU + United Kingdom + Switzerland + Norway) of 1.2 million full-hybrids (F-HEV) in 2024 (up 27.6% compared to 2023), the Toyota Yaris and Yaris Cross are consolidating their lead over their competitors.
- In a European market that is increasingly interested in this technology (pushed by the Toyota group since the 2000s), in particular due to an increased offer (Renault, Dacia, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia), the Toyota group has decided to generalize the full-hybrid engine across its entire most representative European range (Yaris, Yaris Cross, Corolla, CHR, RAV4, Camry, Lexus).
- The HEV market share in Europe reaches 9.3% in 2024 compared to 7.4% in 2023 and 7.3% in 2022. The production volume of this type of vehicle reached 1 million units in Europe in 2024.
- It is in this context that sales of the Yaris Cross F-HEV (160,000 units) and Yaris F-HEV (142,000 units), leaders of the F-HEV market, have increased further in 2024 compared to 2023, ahead of two other Toyota models, the Corolla F-HEV (98,000 units) and CHR F-HEV (85,000 units). Behind these four Toyota models, the outsider Renault has made enormous progress and places four of its models: Austral F-HEV (73,000 units), Captur F-HEV (56,000 units), Clio F-HEV (55,000 units) and Arkana F-HEV (43,000 units).
- Behind these four Renault models are the Toyota RAV4 (42,000 units), the Dacia Duster F-HEV (36,000 units) and the Nissan Juke (34,000 units). The Nissan Qashqai is making progress but is not yet in the Top 15, which is unlikely to happen soon.
- The MG 3 F-HEV made a remarkable entry into the Top 15 (13th place), with 27,000 sales, ahead of the Ford Kuga F-HEV (25,000 sales) and the Hyundai Kona F-HEV (22,000 sales). According to Inovev , F-HEV sales will continue to grow in the coming years, helping carmakers to reach the European CO2 short and mid-terms objective, at least until the potential ban of thermal cars in 2035.
