The world’s largest automaker sold more than 5.1 million vehicles from January to June, marking a 5.5% year-on-year increase. A significant boost came from hybrid vehicles, which accounted for approximately 43% of total sales during the period, reflecting rising consumer preference for fuel-efficient models.
Global production also climbed 5.8% year-on-year, reaching 4.9 million units in the first half of the year. Toyota’s luxury division, Lexus, was included in these figures, contributing to the brand’s strong overall performance.
In June alone, Toyota sold 867,906 vehicles worldwide, up 1.7% from the previous year, while production rose 7.4% to 854,565 units. The surge underscores Toyota’s ability to maintain steady output and meet robust global demand despite ongoing challenges in the automotive industry, such as supply chain adjustments and shifting market dynamics.
