  • Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, and Mazda all finished January 2021 with gains, even though the auto industry overall saw a year-over-year decline last month.
  • SUV and crossover lineups were largely the reason these companies did so well.
  • Since sales fell off a cliff last spring, the market has been on a steady upswing, and that trend is continuing into 2021.

As a whole, total new vehicle sales are expected to have fallen 3.7 percent, according to Cox Automotive, a small decline particularly when considering there was one less selling day this past January as compared to last year.

    Several of the monthly-reporting automakers beat the estimated industry average, including Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, and Mazda, all of which

    What started out as a utilitarian 4×4 evolved into a comfort-oriented overlander in the 1960s. Fast forward to the present day, and the Land Cruiser is the most expensive Toyota available to order in the U.S.
    $85,565 excluding destination charge is a lot of money for a full-size SUV if you compare the J200 series to domestic alternatives from Chevrolet and Ford, but then again, Toyota knows that it’s worth every dollar. In addition to a quad-cam V8 engine that won’t leave you stranded on the side of the road, the Land Cruiser is luxurious in the proper sense of the word. Also worthy of note, the gentle giant is over-the-top capable off-road.

    Another explanation for the asking price comes in the guise of the options list. To be more specific, there are no extras other than a rear-seat entertainment system and the Heritage Edition. The Land Cruiser is loaded

    4 weeks ago Larisa W. Gibson

    Used car sales have got a fillip given the renewed push for social distancing and personal mobility in a post-Covid world. Maruti Suzuki True Value, one of the largest pre-owned car brands in India, crossed the 4 million sales milestone.

    In an interaction with Autocar Professional about the used car demand in the current scenario, Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director (Marketing & Sales), Maruti Suzuki India said, “Physical distancing norms and the increased concerns regarding safety and hygiene have given an impetus to the personal mobility business. The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted customers’ buying preference towards personal mobility. Demand for used cars has gone up substantiallyand this is reflected in the enquiry levels, which are up 15-18 percent year-on-year in a market (for new cars) that has declined by 18 percent so far this fiscal.
