It’s never been more difficult to buy a hybrid or plug-in hybrid! Toyota is also dealing with the same problem, thanks to the continuing scarcity of new vehicles from all manufacturers. If you’re looking for hybrid vehicles, placing an order at a dealer near you will improve your chances of receiving one soon.
Hybrid vehicles are in high demand, therefore their waiting time is longer than gas models. When compared to gasoline cars, hybrid versions may have a significantly longer wait period. Some models, such as the Sienna Hybrid AWD and RAV4 Prime, may be impossible to order or come with a several-year waiting period that isn’t worth your time if you don’t want to wait that long.

Is the estimated wait time accurate?
The wait times listed below are estimates based on data collected from different dealerships. Production delays, logistics complications, natural disasters, and other unforeseeable events are all possibilities that could lengthen the time customers must wait for their vehicles.
Vehicle Wait Time Status
bZ4X
Estimated Waiting Period:
Around 1-1.5 Years
The bZ4X, Toyota’s first fully electric vehicle, has only recently entered production. High demand is anticipated for the 2 FWD and 2 AWD variants. It can be tough to get a unit soon unless you’re already on a dealership’s waiting list. Dealers are starting to get units of this vehicle and wait time expectation is easing up.
Camry Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
More than a year
Because the 2023 Camry Hybrid will not be redesigned, it will benefit from the shortest waiting period of any Toyota hybrid. Still, the waiting period may take more than a year. The dealers we’ve spoken with have all said that the SE trim is the most in-demand out of the 5 trims available, so expect a lengthier wait time for the SE if you’re interested in purchasing one.
Corolla Cross Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
1 – 1.5 years, may be longer
Though the Corolla Cross Hybrid has been eagerly anticipated, it appears that production has yet to begin. The dealers we’ve spoken to say they haven’t heard anything from Toyota yet, and that there are rumours that the 2 hybrid trims won’t begin arriving until the latter half of 2023. The pricing is yet to be announced for the 2 hybrid trims, but you can expect it to be comparable to the RAV4 Hybrid price range.
Corolla Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, could be around 1.5 – 2 years
The Corolla Hybrid has never been more impressive than it is this year. Toyota has expanded its lineup of this vehicle with all-wheel drive in 2023. In total, there are three AWD trims, with an FWD serving as the entry-level option. Unfortunately, due to increased demand, the waiting time to acquire the AWD capability has lengthened considerably. The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a good option for anyone looking to get behind the wheel a little faster.
Crown Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
6-12 Months
The Toyota Crown Hybrid is coming in 2023 with 3 available trim levels. The new Crown is just starting to arrive at dealerships around the country. The wait time may change depending on stock availability and demand.
Highlander Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Around 2 Year or More
No matter which of the 5 trims you choose, you may be surprised to learn that there is a very large waiting period for the Highlander Hybrid. Unfortunately, getting a Highlander Hybrid remains difficult due to persistently high demand and low supply. Unless production suddenly improves, dealers estimate a wait time of more than 2 years.
Prius Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, 8 Months – 1 Year
The Prius Hybrid has never been hotter than it is now, thanks to the recently unveiled redesign. The model only comes in two trim levels, and the wait time has increased since the announcement. If you’re interested, now is the time to place an order with a nearby dealership to avoid a longer wait later.
Prius Prime
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Maybe 2 Years
The plug-in hybrid version of the Toyota Prius, the 2023 Prius Prime, follows the same path as the gasoline-electric Prius in shedding its unattractive appearance and emerging as a graceful swan. The exterior of the new Prius Prime is indistinguishable from that of the Prius Hybrid. The Plug-in Hybrid comes in three distinct trim levels. Due to high demand, buyers should anticipate a lengthy waiting period.
RAV4 Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Maybe 1.5 – 2 Years
One of the most popular vehicles on the market is the RAV4 Hybrid. In our conversations with local car dealerships, we have learned that demand for the RAV4 Hybrid is significantly higher than expected.
Production is becoming better, but it still can’t keep up with the high demand, so there’s a long wait for consumers who want to upgrade to this car, especially in the XLE trim, which is what many people are ordering.
RAV4 Prime
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Likely Several Years
It’s rather difficult to even place an order for the RAV4 Prime, despite its widespread advertising. To this day, Toyota has yet to begin mass-producing this Plug-in Hybrid SUV. Due to the low volume of units anticipated to be produced, most dealerships have stopped accepting orders for this vehicle. Instead, you will likely be directed to order a RAV4 Hybrid.
Sequoia Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Maybe 2 Years
Even if you place an order for the fully-redesigned Sequoia Hybrid, you may have to wait a while before you receive a unit. This is the case until Toyota raises manufacturing levels for this model. The 4Runner is a good option if you need a car quickly because, although being smaller, its anticipated wait time is more acceptable for most people.
Sienna Hybrid AWD
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Likely Several Years
As a result of the Sienna Hybrid‘s persistently low production numbers, many people have been waiting for years to be offered a vehicle. This might explain why some car dealerships refuse to take orders for this model. According to dealers we spoke with, the FWD variant has fewer orders. Ask your local dealer if you may get this version instead if they cannot accept an order for the AWD.
Sienna Hybrid FWD
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Maybe 2 Years
There’s easy picking to be had with the FWD Sienna Hybrid model. This Sienna model is probably your only choice if you’re in the market for a new minivan, as the all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant is now out of stock and has a waiting list that stretches into the years. Both the AWD and FWD are fantastic, though. Do not wait endlessly for the all-wheel-drive model if winter driving is a concern of yours; instead, equip your vehicle with appropriate winter tires.
Tundra Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Over 1 Year
A few months ago, dealers around the country began receiving the first 2023 Tundra Hybrid deliveries. Most of the dealers we’ve spoken with have said that shipping levels have been fewer than ideal so far. As a result, you should expect to wait longer than its gas variations would require.
Venza Hybrid
Estimated Waiting Period:
Uncertain, Maybe 2 Years
The Venza Hybrid, which follows the RAV4 in Toyota’s lineup, has been drawing in a steady stream of admirers without drawing too much attention to itself. The luxury SUV comes in 3 distinct versions. Just like the RAV4 Hybrid, the Venza is in high demand, so you’ll have to wait a while before you can get your hands on one, as advised by local dealerships.
