Toyota Vehicle Wait Time Guide (September 2023 Updated)

New vehicle orders are taking longer to process because of the growing vehicle shortage. Hybrid vehicle waiting times are typically much longer than gas vehicle waiting times.

Since the waiting period could change at any time, it’s important to contact your local dealership as soon as possible and place your order if you need a car quickly.

World events, shortages of necessary parts, and natural disasters are just a few of the many potential causes of prolonged vehicle waiting times.

It may be even more challenging to get a car if you don’t already lease a Toyota vehicle or have a trade-in vehicle to offer the dealership, as some dealerships now prioritize vehicle assignments to customers that benefit the dealer the most. We’ve heard that some dealers won’t even take an order if the customer doesn’t meet certain requirements; has this ever happened to you? Tell us in the comments section at the bottom of the page!

If you’re interested, we’ve also compiled a Wait Time Guide for Honda Vehicles to help you with your research.

Latest Toyota Vehicle Wait Time

We contacted Toyota dealerships around the country to compile this list of estimated wait times for various models. This list of projected wait times is provided for reference purposes only.

Even though we do our best to make sure the information on this page is correct, If you are serious about buying a car, you should check with your local Toyota dealer for more accurate estimates.

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.

4Runner

Short Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

4-8 Months (Most trims), 1 Year+ (TRD Pro)

There are 6 different 2023 Toyota 4Runner trims to choose from with an added 40th Anniversary edition for this year. You should be able to receive a unit within the above time range, as indicated by the dealers we contacted. The TRD Pro, though, will set you back a year or more.

bZ4X

Moderate Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

6-12 Months (Higher trims could be available faster)

The lack of positive press surrounding Toyota’s first fully electric vehicle, the bZ4X, is good news for those still on the waiting list for a unit. Several car lots told us that customers sometimes cancel orders, meaning you might get your vehicle sooner if you place one now. Higher-end trim levels have become less desirable due to the dramatic price differences between trims, and may even be available at a dealer.

Camry Gas

Short Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

4-7 Months

The Camry has started to enter its 2024 model production. We found that most dealerships stock the Camry gas model within this particular time frame. You may have better luck finding a dealer who can get you a unit more quickly if you are willing to be flexible about the colour.

Camry Hybrid

Long Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

Around 1.5 Years

Due to the lack of a redesign for the 2024 Camry Hybrid, it will have the shortest waiting period of any Toyota hybrid. Even so, it’s possible that the wait time will be over a year in length. 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 Gas

Moderate Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

8-12 Months

The Corolla Cross is a great option for those looking for a compact SUV that still offers the versatility of a vehicle like the Toyota RAV4. There are a total of four AWD models and two FWD models to choose from. According to dealers, production isn’t as high as it is for the RAV4, so there may be a long wait to get your hands on one.

Corolla Cross Hybrid

Long Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

1.5 years, may be longer

Some of the dealerships we contacted have begun receiving the highly anticipated Corolla Cross Hybrid, which is priced higher than the gas version. However, you won’t be able to just walk into the dealer to buy one. The number of people waiting means that you could be in line for over a year and a half.

Corolla Gas

Moderate Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

6-12 Months

Until recently, the Corolla Sedan was the go-to vehicle for getting a unit quickly, but now there is a long wait. A growing number of people have noticed longer lines at the gas station for the Corolla. There are rumours that Toyota could be planning to reduce production of gas models to make way for a Hybrid-only Corolla lineup in the coming years, so this could be the start of a new-normal with less gas Corolla in production.

Corolla Hybrid

Long Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

Uncertain, could be around 2 years or longer

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 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.

Corolla Hatchback

Short Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

3-8 Months

Among Toyota’s lineup of cars, the Corolla Hatchback is the smallest option for buyers. The Hatchback may be losing ground to larger vehicles, but it still maintains its devoted following. There are only four trim levels to pick from for the Corolla Hatchback, which only runs on gas. Dealers we’ve spoken to say the waiting period is generally faster than for the sedan variant.

Crown Hybrid

Moderate Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

6-12 Months

The Toyota Crown Hybrid can be purchased in three different trim levels. The new Crown has a potent engine setup, but fortunately, it’s priced high enough that fewer people are interested in buying it. This could mean a shorter wait time for this Toyota Hybrid model.

Moderate Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

One of the few affordable coupes available from Toyota is the GR86. Dealers claim that it is difficult to foresee how long customers will have to wait due to unpredictable production schedules. Likely, you will place an order and then wait.

In the sports coupe segment, Toyota and BMW collaborated to create the legendary Supra. With 2 automatic and 2 manual trims available, changes to the 2023 Toyota Supra include a new manual transmission and revised suspension calibration. The duration you’ll have to wait after you order this vehicle depends on production capacity, which is itself uncertain.

Extremely Long Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

Uncertain, Likely Several Years

It’s safe to say that the new GR Corolla is as rare as a unicorn, seeing as how it’s advertised heavily but is unavailable for purchase. With only 6,600 units planned for production in all of 2023, the long wait will be measured in years rather than months. If you want to get your hands on a unit quicker, the GR 86 is the way to go.

2023 toyota highlander gas silver front view

Highlander Gas

Moderate Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

8 Months – 12 Months

The gas-powered 2023 Highlander has been upgraded with a new 2.4-litre turbocharged engine. 3 of the 5 available higher grades have captain’s seats in the middle row, making the ride even more luxurious. From what we have gathered from talking to several dealerships, the gas-powered Highlander should be available in a reasonable amount of time, at most a few months.

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.

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.

Estimated Waiting Period:

Despite extensive advertising, placing an order for a RAV4 Prime can be challenging. Toyota has not started manufacturing their Plug-in Hybrid SUV on a large scale, likely due to Covid-era’s parts shortage that continues to plague vehicle production.

There has been no official word on whether or not more inventory will arrive at some point this year, but some retailers have expressed optimism. Most dealerships no longer take orders for this car, so you’ll probably be told to order a RAV4 Hybrid instead.

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.

Extremely Long Wait
Estimated Waiting Period:

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.

If you’re looking for a new minivan, the all-wheel-drive (AWD) Sienna is likely out of stock and has a waiting list that stretches into the years, leaving only the front-wheel-drive (FWD) version, although even the FWD version has a significant delay. You can’t go wrong with either the AWD or the FWD. If you’re worried about driving in the winter, don’t waste time waiting for the all-wheel-drive model; instead, get some winter tires.

If the recent release of new Toyota hybrid vehicles is any indication, however, those interested in a 2024 model should be prepared to wait for several years. Due to high demand and low supply, there will likely be a significant wait time.

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.

  4. After one year and eight months of waiting I gave up and bought another Subaru. The entire ordering process at our Toyota dealership lacked transparency. We were never given any information about our position in line or the rate of vehicle arrival. I couldn’t help but wonder if some customers were prioritized due to the higher value of their trade in or the length of their financing term. Good luck to the rest of you , I’ll be driving my new Subaru next week.

  5. We’ve been a Toyota family for 25 years. I ordered a Highlander Limited Gas in Jan 2023 and was told 4 months. Got a couple of calls while waiting saying there is this red Highlander Platinum for 10K more than MSRP or this silver for 10K more, and it’s a “cancelled order.” Said no, still waiting for my original order and preferred colour/trim. My gut feel is that the dealers are offering vehicles to people on the wait list to see what people will pay. I doubt these are all ‘cancelled orders’. I also notice that Toyota the company has made 24% higher profits in 2023, which makes me wonder if they have a new profit model (restrain supply, lower expenses and sell for more $$). Ready to pull the plug on my order and buy another brand.

  10. We placed an order for a gas Camry XSE in March 2023, east GTA, ON and were told ~8 months. We’re at six months now, and I don’t feel as though it’s going to arrive any time soon. Clearly we won’t be getting a 2023 model (but that’s ok).

    I’ve been driving Toyotas exclusively for 30+ years, and I’m saddened by the state of things here in Canada with our lack of inventory, and moreso by the lack of answers. In some of the Camry groups I’m in, I see people are able to buy off the lot in the US, including 2024 models. It’s shameful.

    • Nine months later…still waiting for a GAS Camry. It’ll be February/March 2024 at best (a full year) – they haven’t confirmed a time yet, so this is only if I get word in the near year that it has gone into production 🙁

  12. I am in GTA. I ordered a Gas Rav 4 limited grey in Nov 2022, got a limited white in late April 2023 on a cancelled order. Due to it’s a “cancelled” order and I need the car badly, I had to pay extra packages that “came” with the order. Things like running board, rain visor, rust proofing, tire warranty plan and ECP. All these weren’t on my original order.
    After reading all the threads here I am thinking what happens on my original order, it probably becomes another “cancelled” order. What if I chose to wait? The cars are out there, but it’s always the trade off you have to decide.
    Last week I placed an order on Sienna limited. Sales told me a year-ish since I have Sienna to trade in and get a car from them. Let’s see how long it takes, but I am not in rush this time lol.

  13. I ordered a Hybrid Rav4 XLE (Red) in September 2022 and then changed it to a Premium trim in early November and was advised it was considered a new order. Dealer would not give an estimate on ETA. In June i was asked if I would consider changing the colour as more white/Grey & black are being produced. I declined. I anticipate the order will be fulfilled in Winter 2024 with a 2024 model with a higher price and lower trade in value of my current vehicle.

  14. I placed a deposit on a Toyota Highlander Platinum Hybrid in June 2022. We still have not received a car.

    Our sales agreement noted our desire for a black or white exterior. We also noted we would consider any color interior, except black. On 12 July 2023, McGeorge Toyota of Richmond first offered us a conforming car except it had a silver exterior, which we would have accepted but for the fact it had a black interior. That said, the car had to be built.

    We realize there is a shortage of cars, but we did not expect to have to wait over a year for delivery when we placed our order.

    The salesperson at McGeorge has been responsive to our inquiries, and we have been led to believe the problem is not the cause of the dealer. It is a Toyota problem. I am beginning to have some concerns about a failure of a part on any Toyota I ultimately receive. Will Toyota be able to replace a critical part that fails in a timely manner?

    • We ordered a Highlander Hybrid Limited, (red) in late March of 2022 in Ottawa. It arrived 3 weeks ago (end of July, 2023) which was accurate according to the wait list times that changed on this site as the months went on. We were originally told 10-12 months but that changed on this site as we waited. I think the folks running this site have the right wait times as grim as that is.

Salesperson at the dealership in Mississauga is not even bothered to answer me and says he knows nothing about estimated time of arrival. I am really shocked to see what happened with Toyota , whats the management is doing on this .No idea if they are just sleeping and enjoying their lives. Such a frustrating wait time with only answer being thrown at clients is Covid. I mean come on , Covid is now pre historic , no one now even talk about Covid except Toyota.

  20. Site was pretty accurate for me. Put my order in for an Corolla Hybrid LE in May of 2022. This site said the waiting time would be 8-12 months, at the time. Of course, the model year changed and changed my order to the Corolla Hybrid LE or AWD. Visited my dealer every two months and spent an hour with the sales person. Ended up with the SE model. Don’t like the idea of the replacement cost of those low profile tires but the independent rear suspension, which does not come with the LE, is sublime. The electric AWD fantastic in the winter. I’m a throttle/handbrake steering kind of guy but the computer does a great job of controlling brakes and throttle independently on all four corners. Know, from my mechanic that the mechanical system is less than reliable. Guessing the simplicity of the electric motor will improve this.

      • I put a deposit on a RAV4 hybrid limited in May 2023, delivery scheduled for December 2024. My current Toyota gave out after 20 years and I needed a vehicle RIGHT NOW ! !…Nothing, (no matter what vehicle you would settle for ) at the dealerships was available, as those arriving were all pre sold, many months ago.
        Well….I Started looking at other manufactures.
        Found Mazda had some vehicles on their lot. Took a test drive of their CX-5, which is a close competitor to the RAV4, but more luxurious and a great reputation for quality, reliability and especially performance. No Hybrid, but I didn’t really care.
        I purchased a top of the line, fully loaded CX-5 Signature Turbo that had just arrived and even though it had more options than the Rav4 Limited I had ordered. It was less expensive with the same warranty as Toyota, but with unlimited mileage.
        When I received my Mazda CX-5, I drove to Toyota, showed them what I purchased and cancelled my RAV4.
        I have to say, Mazda is a vehicle you don’t think of because they are a very small Japanese company but all their CX-5 SUVs , are built in Japan and the quality is amazing.
        Amazing vehicle, and so much fun to drive…Zoom..Zoom

        • Good for you Rick. I own a 2018 Mazda CX5 and a 2005 Toyota Highlander . The Toyota has been great and it is still running very well after 18 years. I would like to get a Venza to replace the Highlander eventually but not sure how far ahead I need to place an order. You should have no worries with you CX5. Based on the 5 years we have owned the CX5, it’s quality and reliability is just as good as Toyota. I would not hesitate to switch to a Mazda for replacing the Highlander if the waiting time is too long and when the Mazda hybrid comes in 2024 – 2025.

They just got their first 2023 vehicle this month. Customer had been waiting for 16 months. New projection for my order – I could get lucky and get it in a few months (e.g. September) or I may have to wait until the end of the year or even early 2024.

    • Toyota.ca posted the 2023 Prius Prime pricing at the beginning of April 2023. The first shipment to the U.S. is expected in May but not sure the timing for Canada. I’m in Ontario and has placed an order as well in April but I think B.C. and Quebec will get first dip as they have provincial rebate on top of the federal rebate. Depending on which province you are in, it may be a long wait, up to 2 years, I was told be the dealer.
