Toyota Motor Phils. (TMP) said the new Toyota Corolla Altis
dominated the compact small passenger car (PC) segment in April
based on reports it received from the Chamber of Automotive
Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. TMP said the reports showed
the Altis registered sales of 657 units last month, making it the
leader with a 42.6-percent market share. On a year-to-date basis,
Toyota sold 1,257 Altis sedans since it was introduced in March, TMP
added.
The Corolla Altis’ strong performance
contributed to Toyota’s overall leadership in April, the company
said. It added Toyota maintained its triple-crown title by topping
sales of passenger cars with 1,670 units sold, sales of commercial
vehicles with 2,371 units sold, and total sales with 4,041 units
sold last month. Toyota’s cumulative sales in the first four
months of 2008 is recorded at 14,160 units.
Besides the Altis, five other Toyota models
emerged leaders in their respective segments, TMP bared, as the Vios
led the subcompact small PC with 833 units sold while the Camry
topped the midsize PC segment with 127 units sold.
TMP said it sold 872 Innova vehicles, making it
the leader in the midsize multipurpose vehicle (MPV) category and
remains as the country’s best-selling passenger car as well. Also,
the Avanza dominated the compact MPV segment with sales of 476 units
while the Fortuner continues to lead in the sport-utility vehicle
category with sales of 475 units in April, according to TMP.
TMP announced it wishes to thank its customers
by extending its Toyota Savings Plus Promo that makes the Innova,
Avanza and Vios affordable at P200 a day. The promo runs until May
