Throughout September 2023, UMW Toyota Motor has sold a total of 9,228 cars under the Toyota and Lexus brands. This comprises 9,020 cars from the Toyota brand and 208 cars from the Lexus brand.
The company’s total year-to-date (YTD) sales as of September 2023 are now at 76,511 units compared to 70,872 units it achieved in the same period last year. This marks an 8.0% year-on-year (YOY) rise in the company’s YTD sales for the first nine months of 2023.
Just last month, UMW Toyota Motor gave its Toyota Yaris hatchback an update, which saw the car gaining a couple of features. One of the significant upgrades the car has received is a 9-inch head unit with Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto support.
The carmaker also introduced its new Toyota MY app which merges features from the brand’s Toyota Drive and Toyota 24Seven apps. Available in both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, the new app provides customers with several convenience features.
This includes checking vehicle info, making service appointments, requesting 24Seven roadside assistance, and locating a Toyota outlet. The carmaker says that it will also be adding more features to the app moving forward.

This includes Group 1 (aged 7 and under), Group 2 (aged 8-11), and Group 3 (aged 12-15), all representing Malaysia at the world contest in 2024.
