Toyota sold 10.8 million vehicles in 2024, keeping its position as the world’s top-selling automaker for the fifth straight year. Despite this, global sales dropped 3.7%, largely due to a sharp decline in Japan.

The automaker’s struggles stemmed from governance issues at its subsidiary Daihatsu, which faced scrutiny over certification test procedures. Toyota’s domestic sales fell by double digits, impacting overall performance. Meanwhile, German rival, Volkswagen Group sold just over 9 million vehicles, a 2.3% decline, as it battled a price war in China and cost-cutting measures in Europe.
