Toyota posts solid October sales

Nov 13, 2013

The holiday season is rapidly approaching and all signs point to it being another big one for the Toyota nameplate. Thanks to the solid performance of models like the all-new 2014 Toyota Tundra, which saw a 23 percent increase in sales, and the all-new 2014 Toyota Avalon, which posted triple-digit gains for the eighth consecutive month, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. reported overall October sales of 168,976 units, a 4.8 percent increase over the same month last year.

The Toyota Division posted October sales of 146,257 units, a 4 percent year-over-year increase on a daily-selling-rate basis, and an 8 percent increase in terms of raw volume. See the list below for top Toyota performers in October.

Toyota Corolla (23,637 units)
Toyota Avalon (8th consecutive month of triple-digit gains)
Toyota Camry (nearly 30,000 units sold)
Toyota TMS hybrid (nearly 23,800 units sold)
Toyota Prius family (15,623 units)
Toyota RAV4 (a 60.8 percent increase and best-ever October)
Toyota Sienna (a 10.1 percent increase thanks to sales of over 8,500 units)
Toyota division pickups (over 22,000 units sold

The numbers don’t lie, and they are really impressive. Toyota has a lot of momentum going into the holiday season. This is thanks in part to an increased demand in fuel efficient, family-oriented vehicles, something Gurnee dealers are already well aware of. This explains the continued strong performance by the Toyota TMS hybrid line, as well as the ever-popular Prius family.

Yet these models are not alone. The Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry and Toyota RAV4 all deliver the combination of performance, fuel efficiency and versatility that the Toyota nameplate has become known for. It is a powerful combination, because it gives you a line of vehicles that can take what you throw at it without hurting you at the pump. Isn’t that what modern driving is all about?
