Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE: TM) announced an eighth consecutive month of growth in sales in 2025.

13.6% US Sales Surge

The company released the figures, indicating a 2.2% YoY increase in sales for August at 844,693 units sold worldwide, Reuters reported on Monday. The company also recorded a 13.6% surge in US sales backed by a strong demand for its Hybrid vehicles in the region.

However, Toyota's Japanese sales fell 12.1% in August while its global production figures also increased for the third consecutive month in August by 4.9%, the report suggests.

July Growth, Tariff Impact

The news comes as the automaker also recorded growth during July, a 4.8% YoY surge as it sold 899,449 vehicles in July 2025. Toyota also recorded 6 million units sold from January to July 2025.

Despite this, the company had earlier said it would be experiencing a $9.5 billion impact stemming from the Trump administration's tariffs. The Trump administration also recently agreed to levy 15% tariffs on Japanese imports.
