The festive season arrived just on time for many buyers in the local market with aggregate industry new vehicle sales for December 2022 at 41 783 units. More than a quarter of those sales were managed by Toyota while Volkswagen and Suzuki finished the year on a positive with 5 331 units and 3 058 units sold respectively.
This has been a welcome turnaround for Toyota after their Prospecton plant was ravaged by flood water and came to a halt earlier on in the year. In turn, this ceased the entire supply chain for the Japanese automaker who relied solely on imported models from other countries to supplement their sales.
