I think Toyota had a sales record in May 2021 for this mode. 28,834
I am not quite a fan of the model and I remember all the bashing for the size of the model and the direction Toyota went with their downsized hybrid...but looks like Toyota was right with their direction

The Highlander was going to sell the best regardless of how it was designed, doesn't mean its the best 3 row crossover. Toyota loyalists are going to buy it and not even look at anything else.

Party true however toyota hybrid SUVs are big part of why they continue to outsell everyone.

Hybrid Limited takes nearly a month longer the sell than the gas, Hybrid XLE also sits about 3 weeks longer on a lot than the gas XLE. Hybrid LE sits the longest of any Highlander configuration at nearly 3 months.
Most popular is an XLE gas configuration.
Average days (not a great metric on its own) to turn a Highlander is just over a month around 34 days. Which is strong in a normal market. Palisade. 24 days, Telluride 16 days. Explorer is close to Highlander at 37 days. So Toyota seems to have better supply of vehicles to sell than many others do in this market, and even that is fairly constrained.
RAV4 sells faster, 22 days on average and there, interestingly the respective hybrid trim typically sells faster than the gas. So the Hybrid seems to be resonating more in the compact suv application than in the midsize.

Not sure about that. Hybrid trims sit the longest on the dealer lots vs the gas trims.

Not spin, just showing that Hybrid doesn't seem to be the lynchpin of the Highlander's current success. Whereas with Rav4, it definitely seems to be a strong positive contributor for the model line. But with the RAV4 Hybrid presents both a stronger power figure and fuel economy. Highland Hybrid this go around does not deliver on that.

When I was looking at the RAV4 2 years ago, the hybrid was only $800 more for the same gas-powered trim level. How much more is the hybrid upcharge for the Highlander?

Toyota has cranked up Highlander Hybrid mix, but they've shown the be the lowest in demand, relative to that supply, amongst Highlander configurations.

Great, up Year over Year over a terrible quarter for most cars and country started to go into lockdown and new Highlander Hybrid had a late launch relative to the rest of the Highlander lineup, so there were literally none to sell in Q1 of 2020.
