Toyota Drives Record Global Sales Growth with Hybrid Demand

International News | World news Posted on 2026-04-28 08:33:06

Toyota Motor Corp. announced that its global vehicle sales reached a record high in fiscal 2025, driven largely by strong demand for hybrid models, particularly in North America.

The company’s worldwide sales rose 2.0 percent from the previous year to approximately 10.47 million units, marking its first increase in two years. Popular hybrid versions of models like the Camry and Corolla played a key role in boosting performance in major markets.

Overall, the combined global sales of eight major Japanese automakers—including Suzuki Motor Corp., Daihatsu Motor Co., Honda Motor Co., Nissan Motor Co., Mazda Motor Corp., Subaru Corp., and Mitsubishi Motors Corp.—declined by 1.3 percent to 24.34 million units for the fiscal year ending in March.

Among these companies, Suzuki posted a 2.4 percent increase in global sales, supported by strong demand in India, its key market. Daihatsu saw a 7.8 percent rise, recovering to pre-2023 levels following a certification scandal, thanks to the success of a new model launched last year.

In contrast, Honda reported an 8.6 percent drop in global sales amid intensifying competition in China, while Nissan’s sales fell 4.2 percent due to weaker demand in Japan and the United States.

Despite mixed sales results, the eight automakers collectively increased global vehicle production slightly by 0.2 percent to 24.22 million units. However, in March alone, their combined sales declined 6.9 percent year-on-year to 2.22 million units.
