The Innova faces challenge from the New Mahindra Marazzo, which is slowly gaining the pace in the market. The Toyota Yaris sedan unveiled at the Auto Expo ’18 and the Etios series has also been a contributor in the sales growth.
Mr. N. Raja, Deputy Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “We are happy to close the year end with a series of positive milestones despite the dampening effect on consumer sentiment owing to hike in fuel prices, higher interest rates, increase in insurance premium.
