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 ten months, registrations stand at 5,073, 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 1,652 sales are well up on last year with two months to widen the gap further. 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 130 sales are involved I presented the data as provided. 

Total sales in the UK for 2024 (ten months only) are 12,879 which is some way 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.

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 (ten months only) are 86,866 which is close to the complete 2023 number of 109,415. It should be about the same by the end of the year and any increase in sales will also be an improvement in market share.

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 (ten months only) are 13,950 which is close to the complete 2023 number of 15,963. It should be about the same by the end of the year and any increase in sales will also be an improvement in market share.
