PLANO, Texas, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) Inc., today reported September 2017 sales of 226,632 units. With one more selling day in September 2017 compared to September 2016, sales were up 14.9 percent on a volume basis, and up 10.5 percent on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis.
For the first nine months of the year, TMNA reported sales of 1,831,479 units. With one more selling day in 2017 compared to 2016, total sales were up 0.1 percent on a DSR basis, and sales were up 0.5 percent on an unadjusted raw-volume basis.
Toyota division posted September 2017 sales of 200,436 units, up 16.9 percent on a volume basis, and up 12.4 percent on a DSR basis.
"The auto industry showed renewed strength in September, bringing optimism for a third consecutive year with sales topping 17 million new vehicles," said Jack Hollis, group vice president and general manager, Toyota division. "This month marked our first full-month of sales of the all-new 2018 Camry, outselling last year's total with a double-digit gain in volume - a testament to the positive reception we are receiving on its bold new styling and TNGA-based performance. Toyota division light trucks continue to lead sales, with September marking our eighth consecutive month of monthly record sales, and nine consecutive monthly best-ever sales records for Highlander and RAV4. In fact, RAV4, with more than 42,000 sales this month, marks three consecutive months of more than 40,000 units - an amazing feat!"
Lexus posted June sales of 26,196 units, up 1.5 percent on a volume basis, and down 2.4 percent on a DSR basis.

"Going forward we have a strong supply of luxury utility vehicles to satisfy customers' needs through the remainder of 2017."
