Toyota Canada reported record sales of SUVs in February.

Led by the made-in-Canada Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, and the all-new only-available-in-hybrid Sienna and Venza, Toyota Canada sold a record 10,520 vehicles in the segment in February.

With SUVs leading the way, Toyota Canada’s electrified vehicle sales were up 94.7%, accounting for 27.8% of its overall sales last month.
