Toyota Snaps Losing Streak in November Sales Report
EVs boosted overall sales for Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Kia in November, helping push Toyota to a 4.8% year-over-year improvement after consecutive down months, according to Automotive News’s November new-vehicle sales report.
“The company’s sales of electrified vehicles, dominated by gasoline-electric hybrids, jumped 49 percent to just shy of 100,000 last month,” the report notes.
Each of the major U.S.-facing Japanese and Korean factories share their monthly tallies with AN’s Data Center at the start of the next month, but Ford, General Motors and Stellantis do not.
Among other highlights, Mazda was the most improved manufacturer with a 20.6% year-over-year gain while dealers made Hyundai’s Genesis the most improved marque, moving 8,003 units to increase sales by 35%.
