Toyota Kirloskar Motor endured an auspicious start to the new year with the sales in the first month encountering a massive Year-on-Year growth of 92 per cent. The Japanese auto major garnered a total of 11,126 units domestically as against 5,804 units during the same period in 2020 as the recent launches have certainly paid off.

The facelifted version of the Innova Crysta debuted in November 2020. To stretch the lifespan of the second generation model, Toyota introduced design changes to the front fascia along with the inclusion of newly designed wheels. The interior also received subtle updates. The premium MPV finished as the best-seller for the brand in January 2021.

It posted 3,939 units as against 2,575 units during the same period in 2020 with a massive 53 per cent volume increase. The Urban Cruiser finished in second place with just over 3,000 units. The compact SUV is essentially the rebadged version of Maruti Suzuki’s top-selling Vitara Brezza and it has been well-received since its launch a few months ago.
