PLANO, Texas, July 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor
North America (TMNA) Inc., today reported June 2017 sales of 202,376 units. With the same
number of selling days in June 2017
compared to June 2016, sales were up
2.1 percent on both a volume and daily selling rate (DSR)
basis.
For the first half of the year, TMNA reported sales of 1,155,165
units, down 3.6 percent versus the same period in 2016 on a DSR
basis. With the same number of selling days in the first half
of 2017 compared to 2016, sales were down 3.6 percent on an
unadjusted raw-volume basis.
Toyota division posted June 2017
sales of 177,981 units, up 3.2 percent on a volume and DSR
basis.
"The auto industry has cooled off compared to last year's
record-breaking pace," said Jack
Hollis, group vice president and general manager, Toyota
division. "In the first half, however, Toyota held its No. 1 retail
brand status, as we were able to outperform the industry, thanks to
our incredible dealers gaining momentum in the 2nd quarter,
especially in light trucks and SUVs. We aim to carry that momentum
for a strong second half, as we lead the charge back into the
mid-size segment with the all-new Camry, and continue to benefit
from improved inventory in our light trucks, including the new
C-HR."
Lexus posted June sales of 24,395 units, down 5.4 percent on a
volume and DSR basis.
"It's no surprise that our luxury utility vehicles are driving
Lexus sales, and our NX is on fire," said Jeff Bracken, Lexus group vice president and
general manager. "Looking forward, our dealers run even
faster the second half of the year, and with great availability,
we're in a very healthy position to meet our customer needs. 2017
will see a strong close to another great year for the
industry."
