US most sold cars we are talking about cars and not vehicles the best selling so far between January and August 2022 in the US is the Toyota RAV4 and that aint a performance car and i would almost also be certain that the most people will be choosing the hybrid.
The people on this forums aint the "average" buyer.

Why does the Ford Mustang and F150, or the Chevy Camaro and Silverado not all come with a Prius-like 1.8 liter hybrid?
Because they can't make one, or because they won't be able to sell them?
The Rav 4 hybrid MPG comes in a 41/38 city/highway with a 2.5 liter at 219 HP.
The Prius comes in at 58/53 and uses a 1.8 liter at 121 HP.
Why put a less efficient more powerful engine in the RAV when they have a "better and greener" engine? Because that's what people want... It's not a lack of tech or some missing/future breakthrough.
It seems those average RAV4 buyers want that extra 100 HP.
