Toyota Claims Avanza Is Still the Best Selling Car during Pandemics

Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) claims Avanza retail sales remain number one even though the wholesales record shows the position of the popular car in the country fell to number 10 in May.

Wholesales, the sale of the Brand Holder Agent to the dealer, Avanza, in May was recorded through data from the association of industry players, Gaikindo, a number of 91 units. Avanza which is usually always number one slipped to the most protruding number in the list of '10 best-selling cars' after previously being in seventh position in April.

TAM Marketing Director Anton Jimmi said Avanza retails in May were 1,298 units. Anton said the acquisition was highest among other Toyota models and competitor brands during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"At Toyota Avanza retail sales number one, as well as the market of all car brands," Anton said via text message, Thursday (6/18).

According to Anton, wholesales data can not be used as a benchmark of selling vehicles or not.

"To see sales, you should refer to retail sales or sales to consumers. If these wholesales are more supply to dealers," he said.
