Compared to the total sales of 72,394 (Toyota + Lexus) units in 2021, the increase was 40% which was achieved despite challenging market conditions as well as supply chain issues which affected the auto industry globally and locally.

“We are delighted to have been able to put smiles and deliver happiness to so many of our customers across the nation, and thank each and every one of them for their support,” said UMW Toyota Motor President, Ravindran K.

“I also wish to express our appreciation to all our staff, dealers and business partners who overcame a challenging year. Together, we will continue to keep our customers happy and ensure that quality and service will always remain at the highest levels,” he added.

Segment Leadership

2022 saw UMW Toyota Motor post strong sales in the domestic C-Segment SUV category with 17,208 units of the Corolla Cross sold for the year. The Hilux dominated the Pickup segment with 27,198 unit sold, while the Hiace (390 units) and Fortuner (3,432 units) held strong to come up tops in the One Ton Van and Light Duty Wagon segments respectively. Meanwhile, Customer Service Operations surpassed 1.25 million vehicles, a nod to the exceptional level of after sales service that UMW Toyota Motor is known for under its Extra Mile initiatives to deliver the best sales and after-sales service in town.

AN EXCITING 2023 AWAITS

A multipath approach to carbon neutrality that provides diverse choices for all walks of life 2022 was a busy year for UMW Toyota Motor with several new models launched. Of the new models, the Corolla Cross Hybrid was of great significance being the first ever Toyota model with Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) technology assembled in Malaysia at the state-of-the-art Toyota plant in Selangor.

HEV technology is one of the technologies in the diverse portfolio of powertrain choices Toyota offers in its multipath-way approach towards carbon neutrality. With HEVs, reductions in carbon dioxide emissions can start right away.

“We will continue to evaluate different options and introduce them as appropriate. For now, we believe HEVs are the most suitable for Malaysians and will add a second HEV model in 2023,” said Ravindran K.

UMW Toyota Motor also takes a longer-term view and has also been evaluating battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). Toyota and Lexus BEV models are already available and are being considered for introduction in Malaysia soon as the journey to zero emissions continues.

“Rest assured that with our multipath approach, no customer will be left behind as we will always ensure that there is a suitable and accessible mobility solution for everyone,” he added.

GAZOO Racing at the fore-front to deliver fun-to-drive experiences

While gradually moving into the era of electrification, UMW Toyota Motor will continue to maintain driving fun and with its long-running activities undertaken by GAZOO Racing Malaysia, motorsports will continue. These events not only give owners a chance to enjoy racing but motorsports also enable Toyota to make ever-better cars and deliver fun-to-drive experiences.

The GAZOO Racing brand has already been recognized for its sporty and high-performance products over a broad spectrum of models from the Vios GR-S to the Supra. More exciting GR models are on the way and the exclusive GR Garages will also have new offerings of parts and merchandise.
