2008 Toyota Kluger Tops SUV Sales
Toyota Press Release

Toyota's
new-generation Kluger has topped the sales charts for the first time in
its segment, according to official figures released today.

The
sales results show Australians bought 1404 Klugers in February, giving
it victory by more than 100 deliveries over the long-term segment
leader.

Launched in August, new Kluger has been selling at triple the rate of the previous model.

Kluger's success gave Toyota three of the four most popular SUVs in February with RAV4 and Prado also in high demand.

Toyota
had five of the top eight best-sellers for the month of February -
Corolla (4191), HiLux (3325), Yaris (2280), Aurion (1855) and Camry
(1723).

Corolla retained its position as Australia's
best-selling vehicle so far this year with total sales exceeding 8000 -
or more than 500 ahead of its nearest rival.

Toyota sold a February industry record of 20,703 vehicles, up 11.3 per cent on the same month last year.

After
two months, Toyota has a lead of more than 15,000 sales over its
nearest rival and more than 21,000 over the third-placed company.

Toyota
Australia's senior executive director David Buttner said buyers were
recognising the appeal and value of vehicles across the company's range.

"Customers
are buying Toyota vehicles in record numbers because we can offer the
freshest line-up in the industry from the country's leading dealer
network," Mr Buttner said.
