Toyota is the world's best-selling car manufacturer for the sixth consecutive year

Toyota Motor sold a record 11.3 million vehicles globally in 2025, maintaining its position as the world's best-selling carmaker for the sixth consecutive year.

Global group sales increased by 4.6% year-on-year, including vehicles of the parent company's Toyota and Lexus brands, as well as those sold by the small car division Daihatsu and truck manufacturer Hino Motors.

Toyota's growth was mainly driven by sales in the US and Japan, which together accounted for more than two-fifths of the parent company's sales.

Sales of Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles increased by 3.7 per cent to 10.5 million in 2025, another record, boosted by strong demand for hybrid vehicles in the US.

Exports from Japan to the US increased by 14.2% to about 615,000 vehicles, with the RAV4 SUV among the most popular models.
