Toyota really did hybrid first. Honda has lagged on hybrids their whole existence. And the Toyota Sienna minivan is a hybrid.

Not plugin though, at least not yet. AFAIK the Chrysler Pacifica is the only plugin minivan on the NA market at the moment.

The Honda Insight came 2 years before the Prius. I’m still bitter because it came in manual, which no other hybrid since has.

Toyota released the Prius first, but it was exclusive to Japan until 2000. The Insight was available in North America first by few months.
