Toyota Motor Corp kept its lead over rivals General Motors Co and Volkswagen AG this year, January-September global sales figures showed, as the Japanese carmaker closes in on a record annual profit. Toyota’s groupwide sales totalled around 7.412mn vehicles, up 0.1% from the same period a year ago, the company said yesterday, as strong sales in the US offset slowdowns in Thailand and China. Toyota’s groupwide total includes sales at affiliates Daihatsu Motor Co Ltd and Hino Motors Ltd.
General Motors sold 7.25mn vehicles during the same January to September period, up 4.6% year-on-year, while Volkswagen rose 4.8% to 7.03mn vehicles, according to figures released earlier this month.
