SHAH ALAM: UMW Toyota Motor ended Q1 of 2023 on a high note, registering 9,026 units for Toyota and 110 units for Lexus for March 2023, the highest ever sales registered for a first quarter.

Total sales for March stood at 9,136 units (Toyota + Lexus), compared to 9,297 units (Toyota + Lexus) recorded in February.

Total year-to-date sales registered for March 2023 stood at 25,219 units compared to 22,447 units for year-to-date sales registered in March 2022, a positive increase of 12% from the previous year.

The month of March also saw the unveiling of the All-New Toyota Vios, a popular subcompact sedan that has been a bestseller in the Malaysian non-national car market since its introduction in 2003.

The new and highly anticipated model boasts improved performance, quicker acceleration, and new technology, making it an even more compelling choice for customers looking for a reliable, efficient, and affordable car.

In other development, UMW Toyota Motor held a tree-planting session (UMW Green Shoots Initiative), hosted by the Malaysian Nature Society at Tanjung Tuan, Melaka in conjunction with the Raptor Watch 2023 event.

This initiative supports the National 100 Million Trees Planting Campaign and matches the three objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is also aligned with Toyota’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Mangrove saplings were planted in an effort to rehabilitate the mangrove swamp ecosystem in Tanjung Tuan, which was destroyed because of an oil spill in 2020.

Up to 6,100 trees were planted by 250 volunteers made up of staff volunteers, students and teachers from University Putra Malaysia, Serdang and Politeknik Port Dickson, Taylor's University and members of the public.

In conjunction with the Ramadan season, UMW Toyota Motor has announced a promotion on selected models worth up to RM8,000, 100% loan financing and a Toyota Service Savers promotion with monthly instalments from as low as RM22. Terms and conditions apply.

It also assured Toyota customers of good aftersales support.
