PLANO, Texas, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor
North America (TMNA) today reported March
2018 sales of 222,782 vehicles, an increase of 3.5 percent
from March 2017 on a volume basis.
With one more selling day in March
2018 compared to March 2017,
sales were down 0.2 percent on a daily selling rate (DSR)
basis.
Toyota division posted March sales of 195,750 units, up 4.5
percent on a volume basis and up 0.8 percent on a DSR basis. For
the first quarter, Toyota posted sales of 572,033 units, up 7.4
percent on a volume basis and up 4.6 percent on a DSR basis.
"Strong Camry sales in March, combined with continuing record
light truck results, paved the way to our best first-quarter in 10
years," said Jack Hollis, group vice
president and general manager, Toyota Division. "With the
all-new Avalon and Corolla Hatchback on sale this spring, we're
heading into the second quarter with confidence that our sales
momentum will continue."
Lexus posted March sales of 27,032 vehicles, down 3.2 percent on
a volume basis and down 6.7 percent on a DSR basis. For the first
quarter, Lexus posted sales of 64,211 units, up 3.8 percent on a
volume basis and up 1.1 percent on a DSR basis.
"Lexus turned in a solid first quarter with a nearly 4.0 percent
sales increase year-over-year," said Jeff
Bracken, group vice president and general manager, Lexus
division. "Our success was fueled by strong demand for our LUVs,
like the compact NX and new three-row RXL, combined with the launch
of our new flagship LS sedan. And with even more products on the
way, like the all-new UX that we just launched in New York, Lexus has great momentum heading
into the rest of 2018."
