Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is still holding strong as the country’s number-one car brand. The Japanese automaker, according to TopGear.com.ph has stated that its sales have not only recovered from the pandemic but have actually surpassed pre-pandemic levels.
The report further states that according to TMP Chairman Alfred Ty, the brand’s 2022 sales up to November are already higher than pre-pandemic levels by eight percent. He further states that as a whole, the local automotive industry is recovering as well.
After a rocky start as a result of the Omicron virus spread in January, we have seen a resurgence in the automotive market. New vehicle sales have come back strongly especially due to the re-opening of the economy and return of pent-up demand in March.

The report also further states that Toyota Philippines is ready to bring in more new models for 2023. This comes from a quote from TMP President, Astuhiro Okamoto that states “New models are coming to help us achieve this and I am very excited to introduce them to you all soon. He continues by saying. “But for now, I cannot reveal anything yet so let’s focus on our celebration and be all optimistic for the coming year.
