Toyota and Lexus sales mirrored the Total Industry Volume (TIV) for November 2021, which is expected to be less than October's. However, demand for the two brands remains strong and the difference was only 14 units compared to the total volume for October when the total number sold nationwide was 8,500 units. 

The total sales volume for November is 8,486 units, consisting of 6,620 passenger cars and 1,866
commercial vehicles (including pick-ups).

For the period from January to November 2021, total sales for the Toyota and Lexus brands have reached 63,105 units, 26% higher than the same period in 2020 when a total of 50,074 units had been sold.

“The continued growth of the market is a sign that we are steadily progressing towards recovery. The New Normal means that some things have to be done differently and we have to be conscious of SOPs, and at Toyota, we have adapted our processes accordingly. Customers can visit our showrooms or send their vehicles to authorized service centres with peace of mind that they are protected health-wise,” said UMW Toyota Motor President, Ravindran K.

“During the final month of the year, we will have great deals and with our ‘Now Is The Time’ promotion, there are savings of up to RM 5,500 on selected models. Additionally, the government’s exemption of sales tax is ongoing which means additional savings,” he added.
