Car Sales August 2018: Innova Crysta And Fortuner Drive Toyota's 17 Per Cent Sales Growth

Toyota Kirloskar Motor sold a total of 14100 units in the domestic market in August 2018. The company exported 481 units of the Etios series thus clocking sales of a total of 14581 units. This saw sales grow by 17 per cent as the company had sold 13081 units overall in the same period last year.

The Innova Crysta and Fortuner have been performing consistently as segment leaders, and this is one reason for the company's growth in the country. The Innova Crysta has seen a growth of 13 per cent from January to August 2018 as compared to the same period last year. The company also hopes that with the rains being plentiful, it expects the rural demand to pick up in the coming month and hopes for a push in customer demand in the festive season.

N. Raja, Deputy Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, "Thanks to the continued support of our valued customers, we have achieved a growth of 17% in sales this month as compared to the same period last year. We deeply regret the flood situation in Kerala and other parts of South India. Despite the impact of the flood condition, we have been able to overcome the challenge with complete support of other dealers across other regions. Kerala is a very important market for us and we will work hard to get this market back to normalcy."
