Short answer: it varies wildly, and yes, the hybrid you want is the one everyone else wants too.
In Australia, popular Toyota hybrids (RAV4, Camry, Corolla Cross) often have longer queues, while some non-hybrid variants and utes can be quicker to source.
Typical waits span from a few weeks to several months, stretching for niche trims, colours, or halo models like LandCruiser.
Allocation cycles shift, cancellations happen, and regional dealers sometimes have stock when city lots don’t—so cast a wide net and be flexible.
Get on multiple dealer lists, ask about incoming demos/cancellations, and have any quoted timeframe emailed to you; it’s not binding, but it sharpens focus.
