Toyota Kirloskar Motor, the first passenger vehicle OEM to reveal its September 2022 wholesales, has reported despatch of 15,378 units in September 2022. This constitutes a 66% year-on-year growth (September 2021: 9,284 units), and a month-on-month growth of 2.80% (August 2022:  14,959 units).

The company’s cumulative sales for the first six months of FY2023 (April-September 2022) are 91,451 units, up 68% YoY (April-September 2021: 54,282 units).

Commenting on the month’s performance, Atul Sood, Associate Vice-President, Sales, and Strategic Marketing, TKM said, “Last month, we launched Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the first self-charging strong hybrid electric vehicle in the B-SUV segment. The brand-new SUV from Toyota has received rave reviews, with booking orders exceeding beyond our expectations. Pricing for the new model has also been very well received by our customers and the market alike, as we have tried to price all the grades of the Hyryder very competitively. Despatches of the vehicle have begun recently."

He added, "Our segment-leading models like the Fortuner, Legender and the Innova Crysta Petrol continue to garner customer orders whilst models like the new Glanza continue to clock promising wholesales as well as customer orders.”
