New Delhi, India – Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) continues its impressive growth trajectory in the Indian market, with its popular models – the Innova, Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and Glanza – collectively contributing a staggering 72% to the company’s robust sales growth in May 2025. This stellar performance has seen Toyota firmly establish itself as the fifth largest four-wheeler brand in India, retailing an impressive 29,280 units in the domestic market last month.
This significant contribution highlights Toyota’s successful strategy in catering to diverse Indian consumer demands, offering a compelling mix of reliable MPVs, efficient mid-size SUVs, and value-for-money premium hatchbacks.
The Power Trio: Key Contributors
Let’s break down the performance of each of these volume drivers:
* Toyota Innova (Innova Crysta + Innova Hycross): The Enduring Champion
The Innova, a long-standing favourite in the Indian market for its unmatched reliability, comfort, and spaciousness, continues to be Toyota’s top-selling model. In May 2025, the Innova (including both Crysta and Hycross variants) sold 8,882 units. While its year-on-year (YoY) growth was a steady 4%, its consistent high sales volumes remain crucial to Toyota’s overall success, affirming its undisputed dominance in the MPV segment. The Innova Hycross, with its strong hybrid technology, particularly resonates with customers seeking both performance and fuel efficiency.
* Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder: The Mid-Size SUV Success Story
The Urban Cruiser Hyryder has emerged as a true game-changer for Toyota in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment. May 2025 saw the Hyryder register its highest-ever monthly sales, with 7,573 units. This represents an astounding 94% YoY growth compared to May 2024, showcasing its rapidly increasing traction among Indian buyers looking for a stylish, feature-rich, and efficient SUV, especially its strong hybrid variants.
* Toyota Glanza: The Premium Hatchback Powerhouse
Toyota’s rebadged premium hatchback, the Glanza, continues to carve out a significant niche for itself. With sales of 4,753 units in May 2025, the Glanza demonstrated a decent outing, even surpassing key rivals in its segment. It cemented its position as the second best-selling model in the premium hatchback category, reflecting strong consumer acceptance of its value proposition, Toyota’s reliability, and Maruti Suzuki’s proven platform.
Beyond the Top Three: A Broader Growth Story
While the Innova, Hyryder, and Glanza account for the lion’s share of sales, other models also contributed to Toyota’s overall positive momentum. The recently launched Urban Cruiser Taisor is steadily gaining traction, recording over 3,000 units in May. The iconic Fortuner and the practical Rumion also continued to perform well, further diversifying Toyota’s strong portfolio.
This collective performance underscores Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s robust presence and strategic product planning in the Indian automotive landscape. By focusing on models that resonate deeply with Indian consumers across various segments – from the family-friendly MPV to the trendy SUV and the efficient hatchback – Toyota is not just growing its sales; it’s solidifying its position as a major force in the dynamic Indian auto market.
