KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 14 (Bernama) — The UMW Group registered automotive sales of 28,785 units in November 2021 as demand continues to remain strong. Both UMW Toyota Motor (“UMWT”) and UMW’s associate company, Perodua, registered healthy sales following easing of the Full Movement Control Order (“FMCO”) restrictions.
UMWT registered 8,486 units in November 2021, which is similar to the sales registered in October 2021. Toyota Vios continues to be the marque’s best-selling model for November 2021, followed by the Hilux and Yaris. Year-to-date November 2021, UMWT sold 63,105 units, 26.0% higher than the 50,074 units registered in the corresponding period last year. The improved sales was mainly due to the introduction of new models as well as the sales tax exemption. UMWT will be launching the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid this month, its first locally assembled model with Hybrid Electric Technology which will pave the way for more hybrid and electric vehicle products in the future.
