UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd, the exclusive distributor of Toyota and Lexus cars in Malaysia, expects to sell some 93,000 cars this year.
UMW Toyota Motor president Ismet Suki said in 2011, the company recorded sales of 89,000 units, which he added was above the company's initial expectation.
"This year will be an exciting year, we will be having maybe four new car models and will also be launching some enhanced and improved cars of the existing models.
"Next month, we will be launching the Prius C, a smaller hybrid version of the Prius model," he said after the launch of the new Toyota Avanza by UMW Toyota Motor chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin.
Ismet said the first generation of Toyota Avanza was launched in October 2004 and to-date the company has recorded sales of over 140,000 units of the model.
"We expect that the demand for the Avanza will be strong, and target to sell some 8,500 to 9,000 units this year, accounting for around 9.5 per cent of our total sales in 2012.
"We started taking bookings in early December and until Jan 10, we have collected more than 710 orders," he said.
The new Toyota Avanza comes in four new enhanced models showcasing an advanced and dynamic design, with on-the-road prices of RM64,590 to RM79,590. -- Bernama
