Toyota sales up 87% in June ahead of HyRyder launch

The Indian joint venture between Toyota Motor Corporation and Kirloskar Group – Toyota Kirloskar Motor last month reported that it sold a total of 16,500 units in June 2022, registering a growth of 87 percent over wholesales in June 2021. When compared to the same period the previous year, the company’s cumulative wholesales increased by 26% from January to June 2022. Indeed, half-year total wholesales have reached their highest level since 2019.

Speaking on the achievement of this feat, Atul Sood, Associate Vice President, Sales, and Strategic Marketing, TKM said, “The past month witnessed huge growth in terms of wholesales, thanks to the very promising booking orders that most of our models enjoy. The cool new Glanza has received a tremendous response from our customers and continues to clock very promising booking orders. Both our self-charging hybrid electric vehicles, the Camry Hybrid and the Vellfire, have also received tremendous appreciation and a true testimony to that are our half yearly cumulative sales that have been the best in the last four years.”

He further added, “Segment leaders like the Crysta and the Fortuner continue to peak demand, and customer orders are on the rise. The Legender too, which has by now created a niche of its own in the SUV segment, continues to garner robust booking orders. Toyota is known for its SUVs worldwide and we at TKM are very excited about our upcoming foray into the popular B SUV segment in India”.

Meanwhile, the Indo-Japanese carmaker has been on top of every headline with the launch of its newest SUV Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
