TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor Sales
(TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today
reported December 2016 sales of
243,229 vehicles, an increase of 2.0 percent from December 2015 on a volume basis. With one less
selling day in December 2016 compared
to December 2015, sales were up 5.8
percent on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis.
For the year, TMS reported sales of 2,449,630 vehicles, a 2.0
percent decrease.
Toyota division posted December sales of 202,047 units, up 2.6
percent on a volume basis and 6.4 percent on a DSR basis. For the
year, Toyota division reported sales of 2,118,402 vehicles, a 1.7
percent decrease.
"With another record year for the auto industry, consumers
established Toyota as the number one retail brand in 2016, now five
years running," said Bill Fay, group
vice president and general manager of the Toyota division. "Toyota
division year-end results include record sales of both RAV4 and
Highlander along with Camry continuing its sales leadership as the
number one selling passenger car in America for the 15th
consecutive year."
Lexus posted December sales of 41,182 vehicles, down 0.5 percent
on a volume basis and up 3.2 percent on a DSR basis. For the year,
Lexus sales of 331,228 were down 3.9 percent.
"Lexus dealers closed out 2016 with another successful December
to Remember, driving Lexus sales to our second-best sales
year. While new vehicle sales were slightly down from our
2015 all-time best-ever year, the combination of new car volume and
a 20-percent increase in Certified Pre-Owned sales, put more Lexus
vehicles in the hands of our customers than ever before," said
Lexus group vice president and general manager, Jeff Bracken. "While luxury sedan customers
still represent 40 percent of our total volume, it's clear many
customers have shifted to luxury utility vehicles, and we're fully
ramped up to meet their needs throughout 2017."
