Toyota reports Q3 U.S. auto sales down 8.0% to 542,872 vehicles

Toyota Motor North America reported third quarter U.S. sales totaled 542,872 vehicles, down 8.0% on a volume basis and down 5.6% on a DSR basis. Third quarter electrified vehicle sales totaled 255,863, up 38.6% on a volume basis and up 42.2% on a DSR basis. “In September, nearly 50 percent of our total sales volume was an electrified model, an achievement made possible by our outstanding team and dealers. We believe that our portfolio approach to electrification is the best pathway to carbon neutrality while giving customers a variety of powertrain options that fits their lifestyle. With 30 electrified vehicles now at Toyota and Lexus dealerships, Lexus sales recording its best-ever year-to-date result in its 35-year history, the all-new all-hybrid Toyota Camry a hit with customers, and Toyota remaining the number one retail brand in the industry, we are preparing to close out 2024 on a high note while continuing to focus on our customers,” said Jack Hollis, executive vice president, Sales, TMNA.
