In 2024, the Japanese auto giant and his “daughters” sold 10.8 million cars around the world. This is not a record: compared with 2023, sales were sank by 3.7 percent, which is also due to a sharp decline in demand in their homeland. In second place is Volkswagen Group, and in the third – Hyundai.

Toyota and Lexus brands and Lexus sales in 2024 fell 1.4 percent compared to the year before last and amounted to 10.2 million cars.

The year has become successful for the Japanese in the United States, where the demand for hybrids has grown, but in China-the largest car market in the world-interest fell by 6.9 percent due to growing pressure from local brands.
