PLANO, Texas, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor
North America (TMNA) today reported March
2019 sales of 214,947 vehicles, an increase of 0.1 percent
on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis and a decrease of 3.5 percent
on a volume basis versus March
2018.
For the quarter, TMNA reported sales of 543,714 vehicles, a
decrease of 3.7 percent on a DSR basis and a 5.0 percent decrease
on a volume basis.
Toyota division posted March sales of 185,696 units, down 1.6
percent on a DSR basis and down 5.1 percent on a volume basis. For
the quarter, Toyota division reported sales of 476,923 vehicles,
down 4.8 percent on a DSR basis and down 6.1 percent on a volume
basis.
"Light trucks and SUVs continue to lead the way for our
industry, and Toyota's Tacoma and RAV4 first-quarter sales results
are a reflection of the strong consumer appeal of these vehicles,"
said Jack Hollis, group vice
president and general manager, Toyota division. "Passenger cars,
however, remain an important part of Toyota's portfolio. Earlier in
the month, we introduced the all-new Corolla — the world's
best-selling nameplate — now with a hybrid option, which comes on
the heels of Prius AWD, Camry TRD and Avalon TRD introductions.
While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain
optimistic about the future of the segment."
Lexus division posted March sales of 29,249 vehicles, up 12.2
percent on a DSR basis and up 8.2 percent on a volume basis. For
the quarter, Lexus sales of 66,791 vehicles were up 5.4 percent on
a DSR basis and up 4.0 percent on a volume basis.
"Lexus had a solid start to 2019. The launch of the all-new UX
was a success in Q1, particularly with the introduction of the UX
250h," said David Christ, group vice
president and general manager, Lexus division. "We are looking
forward to continued momentum next quarter with the updated Lexus
RC F and limited-edition RC F Track Edition arriving at dealerships
this month."
