UMW Toyota Motor is off to a good start in 2022, achieving a combined sales results of 7,528 units for Toyota and Lexus in January 2022. This is a significant increase of 96 percent compared to the same month last year of 3,845 units.

The first Toyota in the Malaysian market to get that treatment is the 2020 Toyota Vios GR-S. Just to recap, the Toyota Vios GR-S sits at the top of the model lineup.
