Toyota Motor and Lexus report on March 2022 sales.
A total of 22,447 Toyota and Lexus vehicles were sold nationwide in the first quarter of 2022, with 8,487 units being registered in the month of March alone.
Toyota saw an uptick in sales of 32%, from 6,366 units sold in February to 8,386 units moved in March 2022. For Lexus, 101 units were moved in March, which represents a jump from just 66 units in February 2022.
Ongoing Ramadan promotions are such to give Malaysians more reasons to buy Toyota and Lexus products throughout the months of April and May. The real question is whether they can keep ahead of Honda in terms of sales. Both Japanese car brands have a slew of important new model launches this year.
