This continued surge in sales attests to the enduring appeal of Toyota vehicles, which have garnered a reputation for exceptional performance and unwavering reliability. In line with its commitment to provide an unparalleled driving experience to a wider consumer base, UMW Toyota Motor is excited to announce its plans for an extensive expansion of its sales and service centers. This initiative is aimed at making Toyota ownership even more accessible and convenient for customers across the region.
Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor, expressed his enthusiasm about this development, stating, “Our sustained growth in sales is a testament to the enduring appeal of Toyota cars among buyers who value performance and reliability. We are thrilled to further enhance the Toyota ownership experience by expanding our sales and service centers. Alongside our Extra Mile services and monthly promotions, these efforts will facilitate easier access to purchasing and owning a Toyota.”
The expansion plans encompass several key locations. Residents of Penampang are set to benefit from enhanced access to Toyota services with the transformation of Armada KK Automobile, a trusted Toyota dealer since 2005, into a comprehensive 3S center. This upgrade, situated at Mile 6, Jalan Penampang, will offer Sales & Service Center facilities to customers in Penampang and surrounding areas in Kota Kinabalu. Boasting 18 service bays, the new 3S center is poised to meet the diverse needs of Toyota drivers in the region.
Meanwhile, in Peninsular Malaysia, the inauguration of the new Toyota 4S center in Jalan Dato’ Haji Kosai, Muar, marks a significant milestone. This new establishment is the brainchild of E.S. Yang Motor, a trusted Toyota dealer since 1994, and seamlessly integrates their previously separate 1S, 2S, and Body & Paint outlets. The all-encompassing 4S center addresses the requirements of Toyota drivers with a comprehensive offering of 14 service bays and 20 Body & Paint bays.
July witnessed Toyota’s enticing monthly promotion, featuring a remarkable 100% loan option for brand-new Toyota vehicles. As part of the company’s commitment to customer ease, prospective buyers can explore a low installment plan starting from as low as RM628 per month for a Toyota Yaris. Simultaneously, customers can avail themselves of an exciting promotion offering up to RM10,000 cash rebate when purchasing a new Toyota Camry.
In an exciting stride towards promoting motorsports and engaging a broader audience, UMW Toyota Motor launched the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (GR) GT Cup Malaysia online racing series in July. This event, rebranded from the GR Velocity Esports Championship, marks the sixth consecutive year of its operation. It is recognized as one of the most lucrative online racing events in the country, featuring cash prizes totaling up to RM90,500 – a record-breaking amount in the history of GR GT Cup Malaysia. Remarkably, Toyota is the sole car manufacturer and brand to participate in e-racing, thereby bringing the exhilarating simulator racing experience to universities across Malaysia for the first time this year.
Datuk Ravindran K. highlighted the significance of this endeavor, affirming, “The launch of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (GR) GT Cup Malaysia online racing series aligns with Toyota’s commitment to contribute to the development of motorsports in Malaysia. By encouraging increased participation among the youth and making motorsports accessible to the masses, we are extending Toyota’s legacy as a leading car manufacturer and brand.”
