The mighty Fortuner and the favourite MPV, Innova Crysta surely make one of the popular choices in the Indian markets but even these two have shown a significant decline in sales in the last one year. However, it is the Toyota Camry sales which have improved by jumping up to 73%.
The luxury hybrid sedan managed to sell a total of 45 units this May’19 compared to just 26 units last year. The premium sedan was launched in January this year and is the eight generation face from the Japanese carmaker.
