Toyota is confident that it would achieve its annual sales target despite the dip
UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) recently announced that it has its eyes set on long-term growth and remains confident in its overall performance, projecting a positive increase of 9% in year-to-date sales registered for April 2023 compared to April 2022, despite a modest 3% decrease in month-over-month sales in April 2022.
With a total sales of 6,681 Toyota and 86 Lexus new vehicles sold, it remains on course to achieving its mid-year target even with the shorter operating month in April 2023.
“We remain confident in our ability to deliver strong year-on-year growth,” said Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor. “We have also seen promising response to our new models launched in quarter one of 2023, particularly the All-New Toyota Vios, and we expect this to contribute to our continued growth throughout the year.”
Datuk Ravindran K. also reiterated his assurance on the safety and quality standards of the All-new Toyota Vios. “We would like to assure you that the All-New Toyota Vios complies with all safety regulations and there is no compromise to the quality of the vehicle. The safety of our customers and our vehicles are always our top priority.”
Just a month ago, the company ended Q1 of 2023 on a high note, registering 9,026 units for Toyota and 110 units for Lexus for March 2023, the highest ever sales registered for a first quarter.
Total sales for the month of March 2023 stood at 9,136 units (Toyota + Lexus), compared to 9,297 units (Toyota + Lexus) recorded in February 2023. Total year-to-date sales registered for March 2023 stood at 25,219 units compared to 22,447 units for year-to-date sales registered in March 2022, a positive increase of 12% from the
previous year.
The month of March also saw the unveiling of the All-New Toyota Vios, which boasts improved performance, quicker acceleration, and new technology, making it an even more compelling choice for customers looking for a reliable, efficient, and affordable car.
Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor said, “The All-New Toyota Vios represents our commitment to provide our customers with the best vehicles and ownership experience. The All-New Toyota Vios is definitely a model that we are proud to put on the road and we hope many Malaysians will be able to enjoy driving the Vios”.
