Even though a mild-hybrid setup as such already qualifies to benefits in some regions, and recently sparked some controversy at least in Spain where Toyota tried to lobby for the General Traffic Directorate (DGT - Dirección General de Tráfico) to grant an exemption from traffic restrictions in Madrid and Barcelona only for full-hybrids, there is not too many fanfare around it. In export markets such as Brazil, many people got quite surprised once they find out the Wrangler is now available locally only as a hybrid.
