According to UMW Toyota, they’re selling more cars than any other Japanese brand here.
The top spot for non-national automakers is a hotly contested one between Toyota and Honda. Toyota used to be almost guaranteed the no.1 spot, but they fell behind in 2015 when Honda introduced the previous HR-V model. Toyota simply had no answer to it. Last year, they introduced the Corolla Cross and technically took the lead once more, but only for all cars sold in Malaysia including commercial and passenger vehicles.
For 2022, UMW Toyota say that they’re still in the lead once again with 79,308 units sold between January 2022 and October 2022. To keep the momentum going, they’re offering some year-end promos worth considering.
For those shopping for a Yaris, you can get monthly instalments starting as low as RM498. Those looking for a Yaris can get instalments that start as low as RM598. For selected variants of both models, there’s an additional RM4,000 promotional offer. Head to your nearest Toyota dealership to find out more about these offers and more. There’s also the online showroom at toyota.com.my.
Here’s the press release with more.
