Hybrid Car Sales Soar: Company Gains Thousands of New Customers

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) continues to solidify its position in the Indian market, and the company maintained this momentum last month as well. Presenting its June 2025 sales report, Toyota revealed that its sales in the Indian market have increased by 5% year-on-year. Let’s take a look at how many customers Toyota attracted last month.

Toyota’s Sales Surge

In June 2025, Toyota sold a total of 28,869 units, with 26,453 units sold in the domestic market and 2,416 units exported to international markets. Compared to 27,474 units in June 2024, this represents a 5% year-on-year growth.

H1 2025 Performance

Between January and June 2025 (H1 2025), Toyota recorded a combined domestic sales and export figure of 1,74,885 units, marking a remarkable 16% growth compared to 1,50,250 units in H1 2024. This robust performance is attributed to the growing demand for the company's hybrid vehicles and its customer-centric strategies.

Hybrid Cars Driving Growth

Popular Toyota models, such as the Innova Hycross, Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and Fortuner, played a significant role in this growth. The Innova Hycross, with its hybrid technology, has seen strong demand even in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. By May 2025, the Hycross had already crossed the milestone of 100,000 units sold.

These numbers underscore Toyota’s strong presence in the Indian market, driven by innovation, hybrid technology, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.

The Urban Cruiser Hyryder registered a record monthly sale of 7,573 units in May, a 94% year-on-year increase. In June, Toyota launched the Fortuner and Legender in their new “Neo Drive” avatars, both equipped with a 48-volt hybrid system that delivers improved efficiency and a richer driving experience.

The company’s rebadged models have also made a significant contribution. Vehicles such as the Glanza, Rumion, and Urban Cruiser Taser together accounted for 53% of TKM’s total sales in FY2025. The Glanza alone hit the milestone of 200,000 units sold in January 2025.

To enhance customer convenience, Toyota has expanded its dealership and service network to 1,110 touchpoints across India. Looking ahead, Toyota Kirloskar Motor plans to launch its first electric car in the Indian market, likely badged as the Urban Cruiser BEV. Based on the Maruti e-Vitarra rebadge, this EV is expected to offer a range of over 500 km, along with a host of advanced features.
