Toyota sold more than 11.2 million vehicles in 2023, new world record. The Japanese manufacturer regained the symbolic title of world number one automobile by volume in 2020 and has retained it since.
Even excluding its subsidiaries Daihatsu (mini-cars) and Hino (trucks and buses), Toyota and its premium Lexus brand delivered more vehicles than their major German and South Korean competitors, at 10.3 million units. The South Korean Hyundai-Kia retained third place on the podium.
