TORRANCE, Calif., April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor Sales
(TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today
reported March 2015 sales of 225,959,
an increase of 4.9 percent from March
2014 on a volume basis. With one less selling day in
March 2015 compared to March 2014, sales were up 9.1 percent on a daily
selling rate (DSR) basis.
Toyota division posted March 2015
sales of 194,905, up 4.4 percent on a volume basis and 8.5 percent
on a DSR basis.
"Strong March sales capped the auto industry's best first
quarter in 13 years," said Bill Fay,
Toyota division group vice president and general manager.
"Our pickups, SUVS and Sienna minivan all posted good gains
in March and contributed to a record light truck first
quarter. March was more than a truck story, however, as Camry
and Corolla combined for sales of over 75,000."
Lexus set a new March sales record of 31,054, up 8.6 percent
from March 2014 on a volume basis and
13 percent on a DSR basis. The previous March record was set
in 2007.
"We're having a hard time keeping up with the demand for luxury
utility vehicles," said Jeff
Bracken, Lexus group vice president and general
manager. "Whether it's the new NX or the segment leading RX,
consumers are looking for utility to go with their luxury
experience."
March 2015 Highlights:
- Total light truck sales of 105,997 were up 11.5 percent and a
new March record
- Camry sales topped 40,000
- Record Corolla March sales of 35,532 were up 19.7 percent
- RAV4 sales rose 27.9 percent to 25,243
- 4Runner up 22.5 percent
- Combined Tacoma and Tundra pickup sales exceeded 27,000, up 5.2
percent
- Sienna up 16.6 percent
- Lexus luxury utility vehicles set a new March record, up 23.9
percent
- New Lexus NX and RC models post their best sales since
launch
- Lexus sets new first quarter record of 77,180 vehicles
(previous best 2007)
