Toyota leads the way in November month sales

Toyota has highly regarded vehicles in almost every market segment, enabling it to meet consumer preferences.

Toyota South Africa Motors took the sales lead again in South Africa in November, recording 11 441 deliveries and amassing a year-to-date tally of 117 486 units.

This sees TSAM sales registering a year-to-date growth of 7.8 percent compared to the same time in 2016.

Leading the charge is South Africa’s best-selling bakkie of all time Toyota Hilux – recording a total of 3 243 units in the penultimate month of the year.

Hilux remains 2 935 units ahead of its closest competitor year-to-date.

The second best-selling manufacturer after TSAM in November managed to post 7 438 units – more than 4 000 adrift of Toyota.

There have also been some strong performances in the passenger segment with Toyota posting a total of 63 897 units year-to-date in 2017, compared to last year’s 55 506 in the first 11 months.

Notable gainers in November include Corolla/Auris/Quest with 1, 711 and Etios with 1541.

TSAM’s evergreen SUVs – Fortuner and RAV4 – continued their segment dominance with 1 080 and 747 respectively, while the more luxurious Prado and Land Cruiser 200 recorded sales of 91 and 110, respectively.

Lexus’s luxury SUVs, NX and LX, shifted no less than 21 units apiece.
