Toyota has recently sold Australia's 200,000th LandCruiser Prado.
Toyota Australia's executive director sales and marketing Matthew Callachor said the sales milestone signifies the
loyal following amassed by Prado since it arrived here in 1996.
"LandCruiser Prado is the only vehicle in its segment to reach the 'double ton' of 200,000 sales," Mr
Callachor said.
"It was Australia's top-selling large SUV in 2012 with sales jumping more than 57 per cent to a record 17,045
deliveries - or a grand total for Prado in this country of just over 197,000 units."
"This month, we have passed the 200,000 mark."
Mr Callachor said Prado has grown in popularity over the years. It took Toyota just over 10 years to reach 100,000
Prado sales and only seven more years to double the tally. In the past decade, customers bought an average of more than
14,600 a year - making Prado a significant contributor during a period in which Toyota has been the overall market
leader.
Toyota is also the best-selling SUV brand with 2012 sales growing 25.9 per cent to a record 58,745 vehicles - more
than 21,000 units ahead of any other marque.
Along with Prado, Toyota's other SUV models - Kluger, FJ Cruiser, RAV4 and LandCruiser wagon - posted healthy gains.
Mr Callachor said milestones were not a focus, but a measure of how well Toyota and its dealers provided customers
with quality vehicles and service.
"We are grateful for the loyalty shown by such a large number of Australians from all walks of life who continue to
put their faith in Toyota, our dealer network and LandCruiser Prado," he said.
