Five Top-Selling Toyota Vehicles
- Toyota Corolla
- Toyota Corolla Axio
- Toyota Aqua
- Toyota Prius
- Toyota Landcruiser
1. Toyota Corolla
2.: Toyota Corolla Axio
The Corolla Axio gets Toyota’s latest intelligent parking-assist system. The option costs ¥105,000, or US$879 at current exchange rates. A backup camera monitor is standard. On Japanese models only, G-BOOK, a subscription telematics service, is offered as an option.
The Japan model included a rear-view monitor which displays an image of the area at the rear of the vehicle while backing up to reduce the burden on the driver while parking. Also, the optional Intelligent Parking Assist system supports steering operations when parallel parking and backing into a parking space. Ultrasonic sensors installed on the front of the vehicle detect other parked vehicles and, based on the results, estimate the physical dimensions of a vacant parking space and set the target parking position.[6]
The Corolla Axio introduced a Pre-Crash Safety System that uses millimeter-wave radar. When the millimeter-wave radar detects a high risk of collision, the Pre-Crash Seatbelts improve initial restraint capabilities for passengers while the Pre-Crash Brake Assist System decelerates the vehicle to reduce the collision speed and contribute to less damage induced by collision. The Radar Cruise Control system detects and monitors the preceding vehicle and the lane, maintaining a fixed distance according to the preceding vehicle’s speed within a preset range of speed.
In 2011, a total of 70,758 Corolla Axios were sold in Japan.[7]
The Axio GT is a version based on Corolla Axio based on the Axio N2 race car. It includes a turbocharged 1NZ-FE engine rated 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and 196 N·m (145 lb·ft), intercooler, 5-speed manual transmission, TRD Sportivo suspension, ‘GT’ emblem, leather shift knob, ‘TRD Turbo’ aero grill, front spoiler, side mudguard, TF4 17-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2 215/45R17 tires, rear spoiler, drive monitor, grey interior, enhanced clutch cover.[8] The vehicle went on sale in February 2009 in Japan.[9]

The Aqua was launched in Japan in December 2011 for ¥1.69 million (US$21,700),[10] and is available at all Japanese Toyota networks Toyota Store, Toyopet Store, Corolla Store, and Toyota Netz. Toyota initially established a sales target of 12,000 units per month, but before its market launch, Toyota had received orders for 60,000 Aquas, creating a four-month waiting list for deliveries.[50] By January 31, 2012, the number of orders grew to 120,000.[27] The Aqua was the third top-selling new car in the Japanese market in February and March 2012 and ranked second from April through September, surpassed only by the combined sales of the regular Prius and Prius α, as Toyota is reporting sales of both models together.[32][51] The Aqua ranked as the top-selling new car in Japan in October 2012, surpassing combined sales of the regular Prius and the Prius α, which ranked second and ending the Prius brand record of being the top-selling new car in Japan for 16 months in a row.[52][53] The Aqua kept the top-selling spot through December 2012, and with 266,567 units sold in 2012, the Aqua ranked as the second best-selling car that year after the Prius brand.[32][54] When sales of these two Prius models are broken down, the Toyota Aqua ranks as the top-selling model in Japan, including key cars, and the Aqua led monthly sales from February through December 2012.[55][56][57]
The Aqua continued as the top-selling car in Japan during every month of the first quarter of 2013,[58] and after ranking second behind the Toyota Prius during the second quarter, the Aqua was again the top-selling car in Japan during the third quarter of 2013.[33][59] A total of 262,367 Aquas were sold in 2013, down 1.6% from 2012, but Aqua topped new car sales in Japan in 2013, including Kei car sales.[43] With 233,212 units sold during 2014, down 11.1% from 2013, the Aqua was the top-selling new car in Japan for the second consecutive year.[19] Again in 2015, with 215,525 units sold, down 7.6% from 2014, the Aqua ranked as the top-selling new car in Japan.[20] During the first quarter of 2016, the Prius liftback surpassed the Aqua as the best-selling new car,[60] and ended 2016 as the second best-selling new car with 168,208 units sold.[21][61]
Since its introduction, a total of 1,154,500 units have been sold in Japan through January 2017, representing 83.6% of the model's global sales.[18] In addition to being the best-selling new car in Japan for three consecutive years, from 2013 through 2015,[21] the Toyota Aqua is considered the most successful nameplate launch in the Japanese market of the last 20 years.[17]

The Toyota Prius (/ˈpriːəs/) is a full hybrid electric automobile developed by Toyota and manufactured by the company since 1997. Initially offered as a 4-door sedan, it has been produced only as a 5-door hatchback since 2003.

The Prius first went on sale in Japan in 1997, and was available at all four Toyota Japan dealerships, making it the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. It was subsequently introduced worldwide in 2000.[4] The Prius is sold in over 90 markets, with Japan and the United States being its largest markets.[5] Global cumulative Prius liftback sales reached the milestone 1 million vehicle mark in May 2008,[6] 2 million in September 2010,[7] and passed the 3 million mark in June 2013.[8] Cumulative sales of one million were achieved in the U.S. by early April 2011,[9] and Japan reached the 1 million mark in August 2011.[10] As of January 2017, the Prius liftback is the world’s top-selling hybrid car with almost 4 million units sold.[11]
In 2011, Toyota expanded the Prius family to include the Prius v, an extended hatchback wagon, and the Prius c, a subcompact hatchback. The production version of the Prius plug-in hybrid was released in 2012. The second generation of the plug-in variant, the Prius Prime, was released in the U.S. in November 2016.[12] The Prime achieved the highest miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) rating in the all-electric mode of any vehicle rated by EPA with an internal combustion engine.[13][14] Global sales of the Prius c variant passed the one million mark during the first half of 2015.[15] The Prius family totaled global cumulative sales of 6.1 million units in January 2017, representing 61% of the 10 million hybrids sold worldwide by Toyota since 1997.[11]

The Prado may also be referred to as Land Cruiser LC70, LC90, LC120, and LC150 depending on the platform.
In North America, the Prado is not part of the Land Cruiser range; the Toyota 4Runner replaces the Prado with basic trim while the rebadged Lexus GX occupies the Prado’s position in luxury trim. The GX uses practically identical body panels and a V8 engine.
Prados have ladder frames, two-speed transfer boxes, and rear beam axles. The J70 platform has a front beam axle while the J90, J120, and J150 platforms have front independent suspension.
As of 2014, the LC Prado is available in every Toyota market, except the US, Canada (both available as the Lexus GX), Mexico, and South Korea.
