Toyota posted 19,379 unit sales in the month of May 2023 with the Innova range leading the volume charts ahead of Glanza, Hyryder and Fortuner
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has been enduring a good success rate with its recent launches such as the Innova Hycross, Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Glanza. The trio makes up for the majority of the brand’s volume sales every month. In addition, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is also rolled out of TKM’s plant in Bidadi, Karnataka.
The Innova Hycross, Hyryder and Fortuner have had high waiting period and courtesy of ramp up in production due to the commencement of third shift, the waiting period has come down in recent times. In the light of that the Japanese manufacturer registered its highest ever monthly sales domestically in the month of May 2023.
