The exports also increased last month to 1,109 units. Meanwhile, the carmaker had sold only 978 units of the Etios series overseas in the same month last year. Overall, Toyota has posted a positive sales growth thanks to good response for different products from their line-up. The company has managed to sell 12,200 Fortuners in just six months, while the refreshed Corolla Altis shows a growth of 76 per cent in a month. In addition, the Innova Crysta continues to get a good response, thus adding to the cumulative sales.
N. Raja, Director and Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “We have been able to sustain a robust growth in the month of April 2017. This growth has been propelled by the overwhelming response the new Fortuner has received. Ever since its launch in India in 2009, the Fortuner has been an undisputed segment leader. The launch of the new Fortuner has helped us up this ante as the new Fortuner has already sold more than 12,200 units in less than six months of its launch. Considering the segment in which the Fortuner is present, this is a great achievement for us."
