Toyota Malaysia wraps up June with steady sales, motorsports push, and sustainability showcase

KUALA LUMPUR: UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) ended June 2025 on a solid note, delivering 7,773 vehicles for the month. That brings the company’s year-to-date total to 44,286 units, continuing its steady momentum in Malaysia’s competitive auto market.

The company attributes its consistent sales performance to a wide-ranging lineup that continues to appeal to a broad mix of Malaysian buyers—from fresh graduates getting their first car to small businesses and long-time Toyota owners.

According to Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor, the focus remains on offering cars that are reliable and built for real-world use.

“At UMW Toyota Motor, our focus has always been on building lasting relationships with our customers and the communities we serve. We believe that performance, reliability and real value are what truly matter to Malaysians,” he said. “Whether through the cars we offer or the experiences we create, our aim is to stay connected to the everyday journeys of our customers. That is how we continue to Move Your World.”

Toyota turns up the heat at Super GT Malaysia Festival

June also saw UMWT taking a more public-facing role in motorsports, acting as the title sponsor for the Super GT Malaysia Festival, held at the Sepang International Circuit. It marked the return of the series to Malaysia after a 12-year absence and pulled in over 75,000 spectators.

Beyond just logos on the track, Toyota made its presence felt with a full-fledged GAZOO Racing experience zone. Fans were treated to GR models on display, racing simulators, interactive games, and activities geared for families—underscoring the brand’s push to make motorsports more accessible to the general public.

One notable moment from the weekend was the international debut of a new endurance format for the TGR Vios Challenge. Featuring 36 drivers and covering a full hour around Sepang, it included five young drivers from the Toyota GAZOO Racing Young Talent Development Programme—part of the company’s broader investment in nurturing local motorsport talent.

From racetracks to the KL Convention Centre, Toyota also took part in Energy Asia 2025 with a display focused on its multipathway approach to reducing vehicle emissions. The showcase highlighted several technologies—from efficient internal combustion engines and hybrids to battery EVs, plug-ins, and hydrogen-powered fuel cell models.

On display was the Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell EV that emits only water vapour, and a presentation on the Eco-Vehicle Assessment System, which adopts lifecycle analysis (LCA) to measure and reduce environmental impact from production to disposal.
