For comparison, three times as many Camrys of the current eighth generation were sold in a month
The joint venture GAC Toyota published statistics on car sales in China in January of this year. Compared to January 2023, sales increased by 17.6% – up to 71 875 units. The largest volume of demand fell on three flagships – Camry sedan, Highlander crossover and Sienna minivan. Sales of this «trinity» increased by 42.5% – up to 30 532 units.
Camry is in greatest demand: 16 352 cars were sold in January. Highlander sales for the same period amounted to 7,204 units, sales of the Sienna minivan – 6976 units.
The most interesting thing: the newest ninth-generation Camry is not in great demand. The volume of pre-orders over the past month (they started accepting them in China exactly on January 1) barely exceeded 5,000 units. For comparison, the Chinese placed 3,128 orders for the much more expensive Tank 700 Hi4-T SUV in three days.
