Sales in July 2021 stood at 13,105 units.
Toyota said that its Innova Crysta and Fortuner continued to remain popular choices with buyers while the new Glanza and Urban Cruiser too were racking in the numbers. The company also said that it was seeing good demand for its yet-to-launch Urban Cruiser Hyryder with initial bookings pointing to the self-charging strong hybrid model being the more popular of the two powertrain options.

Atul Sood, Associate Vice President, Sales, and Strategic Marketing, TKM said, “The month of July has been phenomenal for the company. Both in terms of sales as well as our endeavour towards “mass electrification” in India, as we unveiled the first self-charging strong hybrid electric vehicle in the high-volume B SUV segment- the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. The response to the model has been exceptional, especially the customer’s choice for strong hybrids, further reiterating Toyota’s global prowess when it comes to the manufacturing and sales of electrified vehicles worldwide. We are humbled by such an encouraging response and would like to thank our customers for placing their trust in the brand.”
