Toyota has conducted a test drive of its sedans in Qatar in an initiative aimed at emphasising its “Fun to Drive” slogan, to showcase the “enjoyment factor” of its products. 
Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros Co (AAB), the sole agents for Toyota in Qatar, organised the Toyota Sedan Test Drive for select media representatives in Doha.
The journey started from the Toyota Tower in Doha and continued all the way to Sealine Resort with the participants taking turns to drive the sedans.
R K Murugan, chief operations officer, said: “This latest initiative gives us the opportunity to demonstrate the evolution of Toyota and its new brand direction and commitment to develop more emotionally compelling products to connect with consumers. 
“For us, a car must have an emotional presence that inspires and excites drivers so that they can enjoy the feeling of driving. Our latest sedans are a very visible reminder of that objective.” 
Toyota holds the largest market share in the Qatari automotive market with customers appreciating the quality, durability and reliability of its products, a statement noted. 
The test drive included the full range of Toyota sedans — Yaris, Corolla, Camry, Aurion and Avalon.
