UMW Toyota aims to sell at least 90,000 cars this year

UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd aimed to sell more than 90,000 units of Toyota cars this year, up from around 82,000 last year, its managing director, Kuah Kock Heng said.

Kuah said UMW Toyota was confident of securing the sales, in line with the Malaysian Automotive Association’s (MAA) 4.7% growth projection of total motor vehicle sales this year.

Customers had booked 798 units since UMW Toyota began taking orders for the car on March 7, he said.

“The Toyota Corolla Altis was first introduced to the Malaysian market in 2001 and from its introduction until 2007 we have sold a total of 30,787 units,” he added.

Imported in completely built-up form from Thailand, the Corolla Altis is available in five variants, 1.8G sporty, 1.8G, 1.8E sporty, 1.8E and 1.6E. All versions feature Toyota’s variable valve timing with intelligence engine and four-speed automatic transmission with super electronic control transmissions.
