UNW Toyota’s April 2024 driving innovation and business mobility

UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) ended April 2024 with ongoing positive performance, attaining monthly total sales of 7,345 units (Toyota + Lexus), comprising 7,213 units for Toyota and 132 units for Lexus. With this achievement, the total year-to-date sales as of April 2024 is now at 30,789 units.

UMWT has set a new benchmark in the non-national B-segment hatchback market with the introduction of the limited-edition Toyota Yaris G Limited. With only 600 units available, this latest addition is tailored to the preferences of Generation Z drivers, offering a sportier and more dynamic driving experience.

Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMWT, remarked, "This month, we continue to demonstrate our relentless pursuit of excellence and our ability to deliver vehicles that resonate deeply across various consumer segments. With the Yaris G Limited, we are particularly proud to introduce a vehicle that aligns with the aspirations and lifestyles of our younger customers, showcasing our forward-thinking approach to automotive design and functionality."

The commercial sector has been boosted by the introduction of the all-new Toyota Hiace Super Long Wheelbase (SLWB). This model increases size significantly, offering enhanced space for passengers and cargo, making it ideal for long journeys. It features a width of 1,950mm, a height of 2,280mm, and a wheelbase stretched to 3,860mm. The Toyota Hiace SLWB is powered by a 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel engine, which delivers 177 PS at 3,400 rpm and 450 Nm of torque between 1,600 to 2,400 rpm.

Datuk Ravindran K. added, “At UMWT, we are committed to providing mobility solutions to our commercial partners, alongside customer-centric innovation. With the introduction of the Toyota Hiace SLWB, we further demonstrate our dedication to supporting the diverse and dynamic needs of the commercial sector, ensuring every organisation we serve achieves greater productivity and efficiency.”

To further enhance customer service, UMWT has expanded its dealer network, with the introduction of Laser Motor 4S Sdn Bhd in Seremban. Originally a 1S dealer, the new 3S facility now offers Sales & Service Centre Facilities to customers in Oakland, Seremban, featuring 10 service bays for the service centre.

To improve the customer purchase experience, UMWT launched the "Peace Of Mind With Every Drive" promotion for the month of May. This offer includes rebates of up to RM7,500 and up to 100% financing across thirteen Toyota models, including the newly updated Toyota Yaris and the all-new Vios, with monthly instalments starting from as low as RM658 and RM688 respectively. The Toyota Service Savers program also provides an option for convenient monthly instalments starting from RM31.

Under the sports segment, the Corolla Cross Cup, the second event of the prestigious Toyota Tour, took place from the 23rd to the 25th of April at the esteemed Glenmarie GCC's Garden Course, with Galven Green emerging victorious in a playoff first-hole victory over Nicholas Fung to reign supreme over 92 professionals and top amateurs who participated. In addition to the game, an exclusive junior clinic was held at the Glenmarie practice area, with professionals such as Zia Izzuddeen, Umar Khushairi, Syahiran Syakir, and Sukree Othman in attendance. The Toyota Tour fosters community engagement and supports charitable causes.
