A total of seven new model launches in 2019 across both brands provided additional momentum for year on year growth. With sales of 1,002,216 vehicles, Toyota sold over one million vehicles for the first time since 2008 delivering 4.5% growth on 2018. In the core C-segment Toyota launched all new versions of Corolla Hatchback and Touring Sports, available in both 1.8L – 122 hp and 2.0L – 180hp hybrid powertrains and extended hybrid to the new Corolla Sedan for the first time. The launch of new RAV4 was well received by customers with demand currently outstripping supply. Other new launches included introducing a hybrid version of Camry to Western Europe and the return of GR Supra.
Total Lexus sales increased by 14.5% in 2019 to a record 87,206 vehicles, posting a sixth consecutive year of growth with sales doubling since 2013. Continued growth in 2019 was boosted by the launch of the new Lexus UX, a premium compact crossover, the new Lexus ES sedan and an updated Lexus RX. Lexus mix in Western Europe is now almost exclusively hybrid with a 96% mix and 67% across all Europe.
We are very satisfied with another strong performance in 2019 against quite uncertain market conditions. The continued growth of Toyota and Lexus during this period is testament to the company’s strategy to focus on new product and broadening our hybrid electric line-up. We thank our customers for their trust and their loyalty. We are confident that we can maintain this momentum in 2020, with the launch of seven models including new Yaris, and by extending our electrification strategy with the introduction of Toyota RAV4 PHEV and Lexus UX BEV
