Commenting on the strong sales performance,
Mr. Sabari Manohar – Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business, Toyota
Kirloskar Motor said, “As we approach the festive
season, demand for our products remain buoyant, and we are already witnessing
increased consumer interest and higher footfall across all our dealerships.
SUVs and MPVs continue to significantly contribute to our sales numbers,
reflecting a growing preference for these segment vehicles. Interestingly, this
trend is not limited to major urban centres but extends to tier 2 and tier 3
markets as well, demonstrating widespread customer acceptance for our
offerings.
As a response to the market
needs, we reopened the bookings in August for the Innova Hycross ZX & ZX
(O) models, available in both self-charging strong hybrid electric (SHEV) and
gasoline variants. With streamlined production and an enhanced supply chain,
we've successfully reduced the waiting period, allowing us to commence bookings
for the top-end grades. Additionally, increased
supply of Urban Cruiser Hyryder has also enabled us to meet the market demand
leading to reduced waiting period”Top of FormBottom of Form
