Toyota sales for June 2016 grow by 29 per cent

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM)'s overall sales figures including exports last month were reported as 13,502 units. This shows a 29 per cent growth as TKM's cumulative sales in June 2015 were 10,464 units.

TKM’s exports also show a growth as 1,352 units of the Etios series of cars were sold last month. Only 1,917 units were exported in June 2015. Toyota's overall sales also show a 20 per cent rise in sales performance in comparison to the corresponding period last year.

The company's sales success can be attributed to some products from their line-up, which have fairly done well. For instance, the Camry brand has grown. 90 per cent of the sales for this sedan are from the Camry Hybrid. This has helped the brand to achieve a 30 per cent hike as compared to the Camry sales in the same period last year. The Etios models have also registered a four per cent growth, cumulatively adding to the entire upward trend of sales.

Toyota Innova Crysta

N. Raja, Director and Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, "We launched the Innova Crysta last month and have received an overwhelming response from our customers. We would like to thank our customer for their trust in Toyota. The Innova Crysta has a waiting period of 2 to 3 months and we would request our customers to be patient with us so that we can bring the best products to them."

It is clearly the new Innova Crysta that has helped the company to pull up their sales numbers even if the manufacturer has not given out the model-wise sales numbers. And though the MPV has undergone a major makeover, the new Innova is pitted to have robust built, space, comfort and reliability like the old one. At present only the diesel version is sold in the Indian market and the petrol trim is expected to be launched this Diwali. With its launch, we can expect Toyota's sales numbers to further get a boost.
