Toyota division posted July 2014 sales of 188,469 units, up 6.4 percent year-over-year on a DSR basis. Volume-wise, Toyota division sales increased 10.6 percent over July 2013.
“Rising consumer confidence, coupled with momentum in the marketplace, boosted auto sales in July,” said Bill Fay, Toyota division group vice president and general manager. “Led by an all-time record month for RAV4 and double-digit gains for both Camry and Corolla, Toyota was the number one retail brand.”
Lexus reported July sales of 27,333 units, a 14.1 percent increase on a DSR basis and an 18.7 percent increase on a raw-volume basis, both year-over-year.
“Lexus dealers turned in their best July results ever thanks to some hot products, a nationwide marketing program and the strength of the overall luxury market,” said Jeff Bracken, Lexus group vice president and general manager. “Six of the eight Lexus models posted gains for the month.”
