UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced that it has sold 5,184 vehicles in the month of March 2026, surpassing its sales volume of February which itself exceeded its sales volume in January this year. The company’s year-to-date sales now stands at 15,370 units.
As with the preceding month’s sales figure, UMWT has not disclosed a sales volume breakdown by model, except to say it “continues to maintain its position as the leading non-national automotive brand, anchored by a product line-up that balances everyday usability, efficiency, and long-term ownership value”.
For reference, vehicle registration data from the road transport department (JPJ) revealed that 8,617 Toyota vehicles were registered last month, and a total of 22,208 Toyota vehicles were registered from January to March this year. From these, it is presumed that 2,803 units in March, and 6,838 units in the year-to-date were not sold through official UMWT channels.
New to the UMWT line-up this month are the battery-electric trio that is comprised of the Hilux EV, bZ4X facelift and the Urban Cruiser, which followed the Harrier HEV and Vellfire HEV.
“Our responsibility is to ensure that progress consistently delivers real value in practice. We will steadily introduce electrification solutions at the right pace, in a way that is practical for Malaysian conditions,” said UMWT president Datuk Ravindran Kurusamy.
