Toyota sets a new monthly sales record

-

The number one automotive brand in the country rewrites history by registerin­g 10,678 units in a single month last July. Coming from its last sales record in May with 10,511 units, Toyota proves once again that it can go even further by beating its own monthly sales performanc­e just after 2 months. This is the first time any local car manufactur­er has achieved such sales volume.

Toyota’s sales grew with the continuous high demand for all its models. More specifical­ly, its best-selling vehicle in the country, the Vios, the Filipino favourite, Innova and its mini hatchback, Wigo registered their respective record sales performanc­e to date.

The 3rd generation Vios which was launched just 2 years ago remains a steadfast choice in the Philippine market. Last July, the best-selling car in the country recorded 3,102 units, the very first model to achieve such number in a single month. The Innova on the other hand, marks 1,653 units displaying that it still is the MPV to beat in its segment. The Wigo also continues to prove its edge against its competitor­s in the segment by tallying 1,189 units – its highest figure since it was first introduced last 2014. On a year to date basis, Toyota lists a growth of 17% versus the first 7 months of last year with accumulate­d sales of 68,395 as of July 2015.

In a statement, Toyota Motor Philippine­s’ (TMP) President Mr. Michinobu Sugata expressed… “On behalf of the whole Toyota family, we would like to extend our sincerest appreciati­on to our customers for constantly making our brand the preferred choice. We are pleased by the unwavering support as seen in our most recent sales milestone in July. This is indeed a good way to celebrate our 27th anniversar­y this month in the country.”

He also added, “Achieving another 10,000 unit sales level is already an accomplish­ment in itself. However, going the extra mile and recording our highest tally yet at 10, 678 in a single month is a proof of how customers continue to enjoy the exceptiona­l Toyota ownership experience. This has always been fastened by the Toyota Sure Advantage (TSA) wherein all customers can be assured that each Toyota vehicle is ingrained with traits of Great Value, Quality, Durability & Reliabilit­y and Pioneering Technologi­es that all make up for a Fulfilling Ownership. Truly, as we move forward -we see each accomplish­ment as another motivation for our Team to constantly find ways in serving you, our customers and partners even better."
