Despite a significant year-over-year dip in sales, Toyota still had the strongest sales of any Japanese automaker. Toyota reported its sales for the month of July 2018 on Wednesday, showing a sizable six percent drop in sales volume year-over-year, but also that it remains the bestselling Japanese automaker in the United States. Aggregate sales between Toyota and Lexus brands totaled 208,770 vehicles, placing the brand firmly ahead of its two biggest Japanese competitors Honda and Nissan, which respectively managed 138,602 and 108,792 combined sales, premium brands Acura and Infiniti included. Toyota's year-over-year sales decrease of six percent is the smallest of the three, with Honda suffering an 8.2 percent drop, and Nissan, a 15.2 percent fall. Its main competition, the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue, took disproportionately large slices of the market, at 32,844 and 26,535 sales each.
2018 Toyota Yaris essentials: Budget build
Share PinterestEmailWhat is it: The 2018 Yaris is Toyota's entry point in the US market and sits in a fiercely priced market. Key Competitors: Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Chevrolet SonicBase Price: $19,155; As-Tested Price: $19,335Highlights: For 2018, Toyota refreshed the Yaris' styling, and added a set of 16-inch alloys to our SE trimmed tester. Our Opinion: The 2018 Toyota Yaris is built to a price -- witness its 1.5-liter naturally aspirated I4 is a mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Going over bumps, the Yaris doesn't crash or bang, but the bumps don't disappear into the suspension like cars a size bigger. It starts at a reasonable $16-17K, but quickly rises to our top-of-the-line SE's $19,335 -- or on the fringe of a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
