Toyota Australia is predicting a surge in sales during the next two months after its strong market-leading results in April were boosted by Corolla, RAV4 and LandCruiser Prado. Corolla was the best-selling vehicle in the country last month, repeating its March result, while RAV4 set a new April record and Prado maintained its strong showing in the Large SUV segment. These three vehicles were instrumental in Toyota achieving an April total of 14,930 deliveries, which was more than 86 per cent higher than any other brand. Australian motorists have now bought more than 63,000 Toyota vehicles so far this year while no other brand has managed 36,000 sales. Toyota’s Executive Director Sales and Marketing Tony Cramb said sales would strengthen in May and June with the industry already on track to record well over one million sales this year, including more than 200,000 from Toyota. “The next two months are the sales ‘grand final’ for Toyota and the industry with an intense build-up during May leading to the biggest sales month of the year in June,” he said. In April, Corolla sales outpaced those of all other new vehicles with Toyota dealers selling 3,315 Corolla hatches and sedans. HiLux also claimed a podium position with 2,574 sales. Toyota vehicles led nine segments last month.
