Ford Hybrid Sales Set New Record In January 2025

For a while, Ford – along with most every other automaker on earth – was keen to invest heavily in all-electric vehicles, which most saw as the future of the automotive world at the time. A lot has changed since then, however, and demand for EVs hasn’t quite grown at the same rapid pace most expected it to as of late. However, Ford hybrid sales continue to skyrocket as consumers reap the benefits of partial electrification, and that continued to be the case in the first month of 2025, too.

According to FoMoCo’s January 2025 sales report, Ford hybrid sales set yet another new record, totaling 13,295 units last month and getting off to a hot start for the new year. Among the Ford hybrid lineup, sales of the F-150 PowerBoost increased by 38.2 percent to 4,368 units, while the Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid logged 1,205 sales in January – which is half of that model’s overall sales for the month as well. Last May, F-150 Hybrid production already accounted for 25 percent of the total lineup.

In addition to this record-setting Ford hybrid sales performance, the automaker’s U.S. EV sales hit a new all-time high in January as well, growing by 21.2 percent to 5,666 units last month. Ford F-150 Lightning sales increased by 7.6 percent on the retail side of the market, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E set a new personal best January sales mark by growing 173 percent to 3,529 units over the same time span – a strong start to the year after closing out 2024 second only to the Tesla Model Y in its segment.

This news highlights precisely why Ford intends to offer a hybrid powertrain across its entire ICE-focused Blue lineup by 2030, but the automaker isn’t giving up on EVs, either. Rather, as Ford CEO Jim Farley previously stated, “how we look at hybrids is they’re all electric customers in the future,” serving as a gateway in the various stages of electrification.
