Toyota World’s Top Seller




Toyota has taken back the No.1 position as the world’s top selling car company in the first quarter of 2012. The Toyota brand which includes Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino sold 2.49 million units in three months up to March 31, stealing the lead from General Motors who sold 2.28 million units. Volkswagen takes third position with a sales figure of 2.16 million units sold.

Toyota lost its lead to GM in 2010 after facing major hurdles which included quality issues, the earthquake in Japan and the floods in Thailand in 2011. Despite these hurdles, Toyota has come back fighting and will look to maintain this strong position going forward into the future.
