TOKYO, Japan: Toyota's overseas sales surged to a new March record, driven largely by a rush of North American buyers ahead of newly implemented U.S. tariffs.
The Japanese automaker said this week it sold 814,105 vehicles outside Japan last month, up 6.7 percent compared to March 2023. The increase was particularly strong in North America, where sales rose 6.8 percent amid heightened demand and a race to buy before the early April tariff hike took effect.
The sales spike helped Toyota notch its third straight monthly rise in global production, which climbed 9.1 percent year-on-year to 880,476 vehicles in March. That figure includes output from Toyota's luxury brand, Lexus.
