Toyota and Lexus sold 10.274 million vehicles globally in fiscal 2025. The sales mix shows Toyota’s electrification strategy is currently led by hybrids, while battery-electric and plug-in vehicles remain smaller shares; worldwide EV adoption provides the broader market context.

Toyota Global Sales by Powertrain
Toyota’s fiscal-2025 figures cover Toyota and Lexus globally. Toyota reports the categories in thousands of units, and its electrification rate combines hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
| Powertrain or measure | Fiscal 2025 global result | Share or definition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Toyota and Lexus sales | 10.274 million | Global total |
| Internal combustion | 5.526 million | Toyota report category |
| HEV | 4.441 million | 43% of sales |
| PHEV | 161,000 | 1.6% of sales |
| BEV | 145,000 | 1.4% of sales |
| FCEV | 1,000 | Toyota report category |
| Combined electrification rate | — | 46% of sales |
Source: Toyota Integrated Report 2025.
The distinction between the 43% HEV share and the 46% electrification rate matters: the broader rate includes all four electrified categories, not battery-electric vehicles alone. BEV sales were therefore a small portion of Toyota and Lexus global sales in this reporting period, while conventional hybrids supplied most electrified volume.
Toyota’s fuel-cell result was 1,000 vehicles globally in fiscal 2025. The reported figures are observed sales for the fiscal period, and the powertrain definitions are Toyota’s own report categories.
Toyota Electric Car Sales by Region
Regional results show how Toyota’s electrification mix differed across major markets in fiscal 2025. The regional tables include Toyota and Lexus sales, and the electrification rate is Toyota’s combined HEV, PHEV, BEV and FCEV measure.
| Region | BEV sales | PHEV sales | HEV sales | Electrification rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 42,000 | 62,000 | 776,000 | 76% |
| Japan | 2,000 | 18,000 | 912,000 | 62% |
| North America | 38,000 | 74,000 | 1.146 million | 46% |
| China | 59,000 | — | 844,000 | 51% |
| Asia excluding China | 1,000 | — | 363,000 | 25% |
Source: Toyota Integrated Report 2025.
Europe had the highest reported electrification rate at 76%, supported by 776,000 HEV sales, 62,000 PHEV sales and 42,000 BEV sales. Japan’s 912,000 HEV sales were the largest hybrid volume among the listed regions, although its BEV total was 2,000.
North America recorded 1.146 million HEV sales, 74,000 PHEV sales and 38,000 BEV sales, producing a 46% electrification rate. China recorded 844,000 HEV sales and 59,000 BEV sales, with a reported electrification rate of 51%.
Asia excluding China had 363,000 HEV sales and 1,000 BEV sales, with a 25% electrification rate. Toyota’s 2024 results page points readers to a detailed workbook for monthly and regional electrified-vehicle data, but the figures here come from the directly readable fiscal-2025 Integrated Report tables: Sales, Production, and Export Results for 2024.
Toyota Battery-Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Trends
Toyota’s regional sales mix gives a clearer view of BEV and PHEV penetration than the global total alone. These percentages describe Toyota’s regional sales mix, not the total BEV or PHEV market share in each geography.
| Region | BEV share of Toyota sales | PHEV share of Toyota sales | Measurement period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 3.6% | 5.3% | Fiscal 2025 |
| North America | 1.4% | 2.7% | Fiscal 2025 |
| China | 3.3% | Not supplied | Fiscal 2025 |
| Japan | 0.1% | Not supplied | Fiscal 2025 |
Source: Toyota Integrated Report 2025.
Europe had Toyota’s highest supplied PHEV share at 5.3% and a 3.6% BEV share. China’s BEV share was 3.3%, while North America’s was 1.4%; Japan’s reported BEV share was 0.1%.
These figures should not be read as a time series or as a market-wide ranking. They are fiscal-2025 snapshots of Toyota’s sales mix, and the supplied report does not provide every PHEV regional share in the comparison.
Toyota Hybrid and Electrification-Rate Statistics
Hybrids are the dominant electrified category in Toyota’s fiscal-2025 sales data. The regional HEV shares below are components of Toyota’s broader electrification rate, so they should not be substituted for BEV adoption.
| Region | Toyota HEV share | Toyota electrification rate | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 67% | 76% | Fiscal 2025 |
| Japan | 61% | 62% | Fiscal 2025 |
| North America | 42% | 46% | Fiscal 2025 |
| China | 47% | 51% | Fiscal 2025 |
| Asia excluding China | 25% | 25% | Fiscal 2025 |
Source: Toyota Integrated Report 2025.
Europe’s HEV share was 67%, compared with 61% in Japan, 47% in China and 42% in North America. Asia excluding China recorded a 25% HEV share and a 25% overall electrification rate in the supplied regional table.
Globally, Toyota reported a 43% HEV share and a 46% electrification rate. The gap between those figures reflects the added PHEV, BEV and FCEV categories, not an estimate of battery-only driving or emissions outcomes.
Toyota Electric-Car Models and Market Context
Model-series sales provide scale, but they are not electric-only observations unless the report identifies them as such. Toyota’s largest named global series in fiscal 2025 were the Corolla, RAV4, Yaris and Camry.
| Model series | Sales | Geography and period |
|---|---|---|
| Corolla | 1.661 million | Global Toyota and Lexus, fiscal 2025 |
| RAV4 | 1.047 million | Global Toyota and Lexus, fiscal 2025 |
| Yaris | 908,000 | Global Toyota and Lexus, fiscal 2025 |
| Camry | 591,000 | Global Toyota and Lexus, fiscal 2025 |
| bZ4X | 25,000 | Europe, fiscal 2025 |
| bZ3 | 49,000 | China, fiscal 2025 |
Source: Toyota Integrated Report 2025.
The bZ4X series sold 25,000 units in Europe, while the bZ3 series sold 49,000 units in China. Those are series totals and should not be treated as separately reported BEV totals beyond the model context supplied by Toyota.
The Corolla series sold 1.661 million units globally, the RAV4 1.047 million, the Yaris 908,000 and the Camry 591,000. Because these series totals can include multiple powertrains, they describe model scale rather than electric-car-only adoption.
Global Electric-Car Adoption Statistics Relevant to Toyota
The IEA defines electric cars in this comparison as battery-electric and plug-in hybrid passenger cars. Its 2024 values are estimates or observed country comparisons as labeled, while its 2025 values are forecasts and should not be presented as finalized results.
- In 2024, global electric-car sales exceeded 17 million passenger cars, according to the IEA Global EV Outlook 2025.
- Electric cars represented more than 20% of new cars sold worldwide in 2024, using the IEA’s BEV-plus-PHEV definition.
- Global electric-car sales rose by more than 25% in 2024 compared with 2023.
- China sold more than 11 million electric cars in 2024, while the United States sold 1.6 million.
- The global electric-car fleet reached almost 58 million vehicles at the end of 2024, and electric cars were about 4% of the global passenger-car fleet.
- Europe’s electric-car sales share was about one in five new cars in 2024.
- Norway’s 2024 new-car sales were 88% BEV and just under 3% PHEV; this is a country comparison, not a Toyota-specific result.
- The United States electric-car sales share exceeded 10% in 2024.
The IEA expected global electric-car sales to exceed 20 million in 2025 and to represent more than one in four global car sales. It also expected China to sell over 14 million electric cars, with electric cars around 60% of Chinese car sales, while Europe was forecast to reach around 4 million electric-car sales and around 25% of sales.
These 2025 figures are forward-looking estimates affected by economic and policy uncertainty. They provide market context for Toyota’s fiscal-2025 results, but they are not Toyota forecasts and do not convert Toyota’s reported electrification rate into a BEV share.
