UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced that it delivered a total of 8,486 units of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in November, a slight decrease of 14 units (-0.16%) from the 8,500 units it achieved in October. The performance last month was an improvement over the 8,033 units that it reported in September.
The total for the month consisted of 6,620 passenger cars and 1,866 commercial vehicles (including pick-ups). The company said that among its passenger car models, the Vios continued to lead the way, accounting for 33% of its sales for the month, while the Hilux remained the best selling pick-up truck in Malaysia, a position it has held since 2005.
In terms of year-to-date figures, the company reported that it had reached a total of 63,105 units for the period from January to November, which is 26% higher than the same period in 2020, when it managed 50,074 units.
“The continued growth of the market is a sign that we are steadily progressing towards recovery. The new normal means that some things have to be done differently and we have to be conscious of SOPs, and at Toyota, we have adapted our processes accordingly. Customers can visit our showrooms or send their vehicles to authorised service centres with peace of mind that they are protected health-wise,” said UMWT president Ravindran Kurusamy.
“During the final month of the year, we will have great deals and with our ‘Now Is The Time’ promotion, there are savings of up to RM5,500 on selected models. Additionally, the government’s exemption of sales tax is ongoing, which means additional savings,” he added.

So,UMW Mr.Kurusamy,must have shed a few pounds to stay slim,”kurus” in overtaking Honda Malaysia as champions in non national car sales,a feat not seen for many years.
Anyway,congrats to UMW.
I wonder what is slowing down Honda sales.Can anyone enlighten the forum?
maybe Toyota jut got better with latest safety at affordable price.
There are reasons why Honda sales have been falling.
Firstly, as heard from those who drive honda, the car quality and service centers needs to improve where many are always complaining about plastic parts after having their short enjoyable time, and how many times have already been going to service center when quality part is spoiled, but quality still unresolved and that the issues comes in again.
Safety also needs to improve. City and City Hatchback still can’t target with 6 airbags but come with 4 airbags from low-mid range spec even full spec gets 6 airbags, as what Mac said is true. By right in the second decade of millennium, Honda Malaysia should have now sell at least 6 airbags for all variants. Even, recently launched City Hatchback safety specs is really plain but only RS have. That’s why honda safety is way behind than these competitors of Perodua, Toyota and Nissan. And you can see nowadays on the road, the accident rate is still very high.
simple. Toyota ambik la..
