Toyota Motor Corporation Canada Sales Figures & Recent Highlights

Toyota first entered the Canadian market in 1965, with the establishment of Toyota Canada Inc. The brand initially faced similar challenges to those it encountered in the U.S., such as skepticism about Japanese cars. However, Toyota gradually won over consumers with its focus on quality, reliability, and fuel efficiency. Lexus was introduced to the Canadian market in 1990, a year after its debut in the U.S., to offer a luxury vehicle option.

Cars like the Corolla and Camry, as well as SUVs like the RAV4, continue to be popular choices among Canadians. The RAV4, in particular, is one of the best-selling vehicles in its category in Canada. The Toyota Tacoma and Tundra have a loyal following, especially among consumers looking for durable and capable vehicles for Canada’s varied terrains. The Prius hybrid remains popular among eco-conscious consumers. Toyota has also expanded its hybrid offerings to other models like the RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid. However, the company’s electric vehicle (EV) lineup has been limited. Toyota’s reputation for long-lasting and dependable vehicles plays well in the Canadian market, where harsh winter conditions can be a concern.

Lexus has carved a niche for itself in the Canadian luxury market with models like the RX SUV and ES sedan, offering a strong alternative to European luxury brands. Lexus has gradually expanded its hybrid offerings, meeting a growing demand for eco-friendly luxury vehicles.

Toyota has been relatively slow in bringing fully electric vehicles to the Canadian market, which is gradually warming up to EVs, partly due to governmental incentives. The brand faces stiff competition from other mainstream as well as luxury brands, both in traditional gasoline vehicles and in the growing electric vehicle segment.

Toyota and Lexus both enjoy strong brand equity in Canada, built upon decades of offering reliable, durable, and high-quality vehicles. The companies’ hybrid options are well-positioned in a market increasingly interested in fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility. While Toyota may face challenges in the faster-growing electric vehicle segment, its core principles of quality, reliability, and durability continue to serve it well in Canada.
