Lexus has reached the milestone of 1,000,000 hybrids sold since the introduction of the RX 400h in April 2005 — here are some charts breaking down hybrid sales by region and model:
Hybrid Sales By Market
| Market | Sales Since 2005 (approx.) | Sales in 2015 |
| North America | 345.5k | 38,540 |
| Europe | 237.5k | 40,629 |
| Japan | 225k | 31,420 |
| China/Hong Kong | 97k | 21,120 |
| East Asia | 62k | 11,151 |
| Oceania | 19.5k | 3,535 |
| Asia | 8.5k | 1,294 |
| Other | 5k | 1,343 |
Hybrid Sales by Model
| Model | Sales Since 2005 (approx.) |
| RX | 335k |
| CT | 267k |
| ES | 118k |
| HS | 67k |
| NX | 63k |
| GS | 53k |
| IS | 51.5k |
| LS | 41k |
| RC | 3.8k |
Despite higher overall sales, North America has ceded hybrid leadership to Europe — perhaps not that surprising given that most European regions no longer offer petrol/gas models.
Nearly every row of the model-by-model breakdown is a storyline — the RX is certainly the highest selling Lexus hybrid line, but it had a significant head start over every other model.
The ES hybrid is another curiosity, as it’s not offered in all regions and still manages to be the third best-selling model — the gas vs. hybrid ES sales in North America must be a fairly even split.
