Toyota Australia recorded a strong month in June with 20,225 sales, taking its half yearly total to 120,978 deliveries to customers, according to the official VFACTS data.
With a strong order bank and forthcoming upgrades to models including the Corolla Cross, Toyota Australia expects continued strength in the market through the second half of the year.
It led the market for the first six months of the year in all three passenger, SUV, and light commercial sectors with a total market share of 19.4% (combined result)
In passenger car year-to-date sales, Corolla and Camry continue to lead their respective segments by a large margin (with 33.4% and 58.1% segment shares respectively) while in the SUV segment, the RAV4 accounted for a 20.9% share, the LandCruiser Prado took a 21.7% share and the LandCruiser 300 Series took a 55% share.
Toyota Australia spokesperson Sean Hanley said the strong first half yearly sales would continue with very healthy forward orders across all model lines which underlined the company’s confidence in its sustainable sales strategy.
“Toyota dealers are our people on the front line and the investment they have made in maintaining Australia’s largest network of sales, parts and service outlets across the country continues to pay dividends in delivering long-term customer care and service,” Hanley says.
“At the same time, our shift to an all-hybrid range of passenger vehicles and urban-oriented SUVs, except for our GR performance cars, has proven popular.
“We are committed to a multi-pathway approach to decarbonisation, providing appropriate powertrains for different applications and will further that with the introduction of new options including our first plug-in hybrid that will be available in the all-new RAV4 early next year.
“It’s all part of building and maintaining the trust of our customers and delivering outstanding customer service, which we believe is vital for a successful sustainable future in the Australian market,” he says.
