The achievement comes at a time when the local automotive market is becoming increasingly competitive, shaped by rapid electrification, new market entrants and changing customer expectations. Despite these pressures, Toyota’s consistent results underline its standing as a trusted brand among Malaysian buyers, built on long-term credibility and a reputation for dependable ownership rather than short-term trends.

Demand throughout the year remained steady across Toyota’s model range, reflecting loyalty that stretches from first-time car buyers to families who have owned Toyotas for generations. This sustained interest suggests that Malaysians continue to value vehicles that deliver not only at the showroom but also through years of daily use, supported by a proven ownership experience.

A key contributor to this performance has been Toyota’s Multi-Pathway Approach, which acknowledges that mobility needs vary widely depending on lifestyle, driving habits and infrastructure readiness. By maintaining a balanced mix of efficient internal combustion models, hybrid options and future-ready technologies, Toyota has continued to push its Mobility for All philosophy in a way that aligns with real-world conditions in Malaysia.

The company has highlighted that achieving more than 100,000 sales for four years running reflects the trust placed in the brand by Malaysian customers, as well as the strength of its long-term strategy, local investments and understanding of how people use their vehicles. Guided by its Best in Town philosophy and a strong Customer First mindset, Toyota intends to keep delivering practical, inclusive and reliable mobility solutions for the years ahead.

Looking beyond 2025, UMW Toyota Motor plans to build on this momentum by further expanding its network, enhancing service standards and rolling out initiatives that reflect evolving customer needs. As the brand closes the year on a historic high, its focus remains firmly on shaping the future of mobility in Malaysia with solutions designed to last.

Alongside its sales success, Toyota also took steps to strengthen ownership confidence with the introduction of the Toyota Extend Plan on 1 December 2025. The programme allows eligible customers to extend the standard five-year warranty by up to three additional years, providing coverage of up to eight years depending on the vehicle and package selected.

Offered on selected models such as the Vios, Corolla Cross, Yaris and Corolla, the plan comes with both Basic and Premium coverage options. Warranty claims can be handled at authorised Toyota service centres nationwide, and the coverage is transferable to the next owner, helping to protect vehicle value while offering added peace of mind throughout the ownership journey.

Toyota’s wide range of vehicles continues to resonate with Malaysian buyers, thanks to its balance of practicality, innovation, and value. The brand’s “Mobility for All” philosophy remains central to its approach, offering Malaysians an extensive line-up of passenger cars, SUVs, and electrified options, all backed by dependable after-sales support and strong ownership value.

Toyota’s commitment to innovation was further underlined at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, where the company unveiled its three-year regional roadmap to accelerate next-generation mobility across Asia. The plan is built on three key pillars — carbon neutrality, intelligent safety, and inclusive mobility — and reinforces Toyota’s belief that meaningful progress should leave no one behind.

As part of its announcement at the Toyota Motor Asia Media Day, the company confirmed that over ten new electrified models (xEVs) will be introduced across the region within the next three years. Toyota also revealed plans to begin local battery electric vehicle (BEV) production in Thailand and Indonesia by the end of 2025, as well as its “30 by 30 Mission” — an ambitious target aiming for 30% xEV sales in ASEAN by 2030. That figure represents around 1.5 million cumulative units, translating to an environmental benefit equivalent to planting 25 million trees or cutting 8 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

The event also marked the world debut of the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Concept, a rugged off-road model that combines the brand’s heritage of durability with cutting-edge electrified technology. The model has been confirmed for regional production in Thailand and is positioned as a symbol of Toyota’s ongoing commitment to off-road capability in an electrified era.

Beyond vehicle innovation, Toyota showcased its Toyota Mobility Concept and Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies (CJPT) initiatives, designed to integrate vehicles, energy, and data into connected ecosystems that promote efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. These projects reflect Toyota’s broader vision of practical, purpose-driven innovation for Asia.

Back home, UMW Toyota Motor is rewarding customers with enticing deals to close out the year. Selected Toyota models now come with rebates of up to RM8,000, while participating dealers are offering additional promotions — giving Malaysians even more reason to consider Toyota for their next vehicle purchase.

Toyota’s product strategy remains centred on giving Malaysians technology that fits their lifestyles, whether through dependable petrol models or accessible hybrid solutions. The company maintains that this balance is guided by Toyota’s global Mobility for All philosophy, a vision that places emphasis on delivering the right innovation at the right time without leaving customers behind.

Toyota’s history in Malaysia stretches back more than six decades. Since the first locally assembled Corolla rolled out in 1968, the brand has become deeply woven into Malaysian life. Models such as the Hilux, Vios and Camry are more than just popular choices – they have evolved into household names, trusted by families, businesses and communities alike. From balik kampung trips during festive seasons to hard-working pick-ups supporting farmers and traders, Toyota has consistently been part of Malaysia’s journey through growth and progress.

That presence has translated into impressive numbers. Between 2015 and August 2025 alone, Toyota has delivered 859,865 vehicles to Malaysian buyers. Its sustained leadership as the top-selling non-national brand is not only a measure of sales performance but also a reflection of multi-generational loyalty. For millions of drivers, choosing Toyota has always been about reliability, value and long-term peace of mind.

UMWT continues to strengthen this relationship through its Toyota Extra Mile programme, which enhances ownership beyond the showroom. With a wide-reaching service centre network, hybrid servicing support and digital convenience via the Toyota MY App, owners enjoy an ecosystem of care designed for lasting reassurance. Initiatives such as extended warranties, hybrid-specific maintenance, and easy access to after-sales services are part of this effort to deliver confidence at every stage of ownership.

This Merdeka season, Toyota is also giving Malaysians more reasons to celebrate. Buyers can take advantage of special promotions running throughout September, with savings of up to RM5,000 on selected models. Additional offers await those who step into Toyota showrooms this month, making it an opportune moment to bring home a new car.

Alongside these promotions, Toyota continues to push affordability with its Service Savers programme. Starting from as little as RM31 per month, owners can enjoy prepaid maintenance plans that provide up to 10% savings on parts and labour, while also protecting against future price hikes. Servicing remains hassle-free too, thanks to nationwide access to authorised Toyota service centres.

As Malaysia celebrates its independence, Toyota’s story remains closely tied to that of the nation itself. Built on trust, resilience and shared progress, the brand continues to “Move Your World” – a role it has played for generations and one it is committed to carrying forward well into the future.

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) continued its upward trajectory in July 2025, posting robust sales figures of 8,877 units for the month. This pushes the cumulative sales for the year to 53,163 units, reinforcing the brand’s strong presence and sustained relevance in the Malaysian automotive landscape.

Toyota’s success in Malaysia lies in its ability to offer a diverse product line-up that caters to a wide range of customer preferences. From dependable internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for daily commuting to hybrid alternatives designed for fuel efficiency and environmental consciousness, UMWT has built a reputation for consistently addressing the practical needs of Malaysian motorists.

Central to this success is UMWT’s unwavering customer-first philosophy. The company’s commitment to reliability, ownership assurance and long-term support continues to earn the trust of customers nationwide. By focusing on real-world priorities, the brand delivers not only products but also an ownership experience that reflects the daily realities of Malaysian drivers.

The Toyota Extra Mile programme stands as a testament to UMWT’s commitment to customer satisfaction. It elevates the ownership journey through comprehensive support that includes a robust network of service centres, digital convenience via the Toyota MY app, and specialised hybrid vehicle maintenance. Whether through extended warranty offerings or simplified access to routine servicing, the programme is designed to provide assurance long after the vehicle leaves the showroom floor.

These efforts are rooted in Toyota’s global “Mobility for All” mission, which aims to deliver innovation and accessibility to individuals from all walks of life. UMWT continues to ensure its offerings are grounded in practical solutions that prioritise customer confidence and convenience.

To mark the National Month, UMWT will host its Patriotic Showroom Weekender from 23 to 24 August 2025. Held at Toyota showrooms across the country, the event invites Malaysians to celebrate unity and national pride. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the full Toyota line-up, enjoy festive showroom experiences, and receive exclusive test drive gifts. The event will also feature special Merdeka promotions.

In conjunction with the Merdeka celebrations, UMWT is rolling out limited-time promotions on selected models. Customers can enjoy savings of up to RM10,500 on the Yaris, RM8,000 on the Vios, RM6,000 on the Corolla Cross, and RM8,000 on the Hilux, which also comes with three years of complimentary servicing. These offers represent an ideal opportunity for customers to purchase a Toyota vehicle while enjoying significant added value.

Additionally, UMWT continues to promote the Toyota Service Savers programme, a prepaid maintenance plan starting from as low as RM31 per month. This initiative offers up to 10% savings on parts and labour, protects customers from future price hikes, and guarantees hassle-free servicing at authorised Toyota service centres throughout Malaysia.

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has reported robust sales for April 2025, delivering a total of 7,932 vehicles during the month. This performance brings the year-to-date tally to 27,876 units, reaffirming the brand’s continued relevance and appeal among Malaysian consumers.

The company attributed its success not only to the strength of its product line-up but also to its evolving role as a mobility provider focused on sustainable development. UMWT stated that its mission today goes beyond traditional vehicle sales, emphasising its role in shaping a cleaner, more connected future for Malaysians through environmentally responsible mobility solutions.

UMWT reiterated that its commitment to electrification is guided by Toyota’s Multipathway strategy. This approach aims to provide customers with diverse electrified options—ranging from hybrids to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles—that allow them to make environmentally responsible choices without compromising on driving performance, safety, or quality. By embracing a wide spectrum of technologies, the company seeks to provide practical and accessible solutions to meet the evolving needs of society and support the nation’s sustainability agenda.

This commitment will be showcased prominently at the upcoming Malaysia Autoshow 2025, where UMW Toyota Motor is set to present its latest hybrid and electrified models. The event, taking place from 9 to 15 May at MAEPS Serdang in Selangor, will run daily from 10am to 10pm. Among the vehicles on display will be the Vellfire HEV, Corolla Cross HEV, Camry HEV, and the advanced Mirai, Toyota’s flagship hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle.

The showcase is designed to demonstrate Toyota’s leadership in sustainable innovation and its emphasis on practical solutions that align with real-world usage. The company highlighted its Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, which takes into account emissions and environmental impact across a vehicle’s entire lifespan—from production through to end-of-life recycling—rather than focusing solely on tailpipe emissions.

UMWT also underscored the broader significance of its involvement in the Malaysia Autoshow, noting that its participation aligns with national goals such as the Hydrogen Economy & Technology Roadmap and Malaysia’s ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The company’s strategy aims to ensure that future mobility solutions are not only environmentally sustainable but also scalable and attainable for the broader population.

In tandem with its autoshow presence, UMW Toyota Motor is offering exclusive May promotions to encourage vehicle ownership. These initiatives are part of the brand’s continued effort to make mobility more accessible while supporting customers in transitioning to newer, more sustainable vehicle technologies.

UMWT’s April performance and its forward-looking agenda underscore its position as a key player in Malaysia’s automotive sector. With a strong sales foundation and an ambitious electrification roadmap, the company is poised to play a leading role in shaping the country’s sustainable transport future.

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) continues its positive momentum into 2025 with strong March sales, delivering 7,929 Toyota vehicles for the month and reaching a year-to-date total of 19,944 units. The figures reflect steady demand and consumer confidence in Toyota’s reliable, efficient, and forward-thinking mobility solutions in Malaysia.

As the nation’s leading non-national automotive brand, UMWT’s success is fuelled by a diverse and technology-driven lineup, trusted by generations of Malaysians. The company’s dedication to innovation and quality is clearly resonating with local buyers seeking both everyday practicality and sustainable performance.

Toyota’s hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining traction as a practical solution for greener driving. A standout example is the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, introduced in 2021, which has already surpassed 23,031 units sold. As part of Toyota’s multi-pathway strategy, hybrids play a key role in reducing carbon emissions while remaining accessible to the wider market.

In the spirit of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, UMWT has launched its “A Festive Homecoming” promotion, inviting customers to celebrate with attractive offers:

• Up to RM9,500 in savings

• Flexible financing from as low as RM658/month

• Service plans starting at just RM33/month, providing long-term peace of mind

This campaign reflects UMWT’s continuous commitment to make Toyota ownership more rewarding and worry-free for all Malaysians, especially during this festive period of travel and celebration.

With over five decades of presence in the country, Toyota has become an integral part of Malaysia’s mobility landscape. UMWT continues to support national goals through innovation, localisation, and sustainable investments, in line with its “Move Your World” direction — delivering inclusive, accessible, and intelligent mobility solutions that enhance lives and empower journeys.

UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) maintained its strong market presence in January 2025, recording 5,383 unit sales. With a continued focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, Toyota is set to sustain its growth throughout the year.

While the Lunar New Year holiday fell in February this year compared to January last year, contributing to the decline in sales, Toyota also faced challenges from fierce competition in China’s auto market. However, for January and February combined, the sales decline in China was less severe at 0.7%.

Despite the challenges in China, Toyota saw a 16% surge in U.S. sales and a 14% increase in European sales for February. However, domestic sales in Japan plummeted by a third due to production stoppages at Daihatsu, a small car unit of Toyota, which also faced reputational damage from a safety test scandal reported almost a year ago.

Sales in Indonesia and Thailand also experienced double-digit declines for Toyota. Despite the overall decrease in sales, almost two-fifths of the vehicles sold globally by Toyota in February were petrol-electric hybrids, indicating continued consumer interest in eco-friendly vehicles.

Global sales figures include vehicles sold under the Toyota and Lexus brands. Additionally, Daihatsu, which is part of Toyota’s operations, reported a significant decline in worldwide sales, down by 66% in February.

Toyota’s global output for February also saw a decrease of 2.6%, with 737,178 vehicles produced.
