Lexus UK Model Sales : 2021-24




















Lexus isn't a big player in the premium segment in Europe although it does quite well in the UK. The new LBX (picture above) is the new big thing for the marque and has quickly become the best selling model. The RZ (picture below) is in its first full year and currently 4th. The new LM people mover is not going to be anything more than a low volume model.   

Total sales in the UK for 2024 was 16,652 which eclipsed 2023's 15,963. It should grow again in 2025 but that depends on how the market as a whole will go which could be down in 2024.

Toyota UK Passenger Car Sales : 2021-24











The Toyota brand has been gaining steadily in the UK, its hybrid technology winning over customers. The Yaris (GR version pictured below) and Yaris Cross are the most popular models with the electric bZ4X doing well too despite its odd name. In between them is the C-HR (picture above).

Total sales in the UK for 2024 were 101,465 which is close to the complete 2023 number of 109,415. The ProAce Verso and City Verso are vans with seating so people movers or MPVs. They have previously been included in commercial vehicle data provided by Toyota but this year moved to the passenger car category.

Toyota LCV UK Model Sales : 2021-24











Toyota light commercials are an important part of the range in Europe, an area that was somewhat neglected. The Hilux is the best selling although 2024 doesn't look like it will match 2023. In 2024 registrations reached 5,520, compared to a full 2023 figure of 10,887. 

The Corolla Sportsvan commercial (picture below) is doing better albeit at a lower sales level, the 2,015 sales are well up on 2023. Taking a passenger car wagon and converting it into a van makes sense. Stylish, carlike handling and comfort yet also cost effective.

The ProAce range is sourced from Stellantis and which are already popular within that Group. An example is the ProAce City pictured above. The large Max van is about to join the range to add impetus to sales volume.  

The ProAce Verso and City Verso are vans with seating so people movers or MPVs. They have previously been included in commercial vehicle data provided by Toyota but this year moved to the passenger car category. However, in the case of the ProAce Verso (included below under the ProAce), it seems that they are being double counted in 2024, but as only 142 sales are involved I presented the data as provided. 

Total sales in the UK for 2024 are 15,136 which is down on the complete 2023 number of 19,764. The Hilux is the main reason so we shall have to see if that model will fare better in 2025 because a new generation is due sometime soon.
