Overthrow “Yaris Series”! Aiming for the top ranking in a single model “True popular car” 3 selections .
“Beat the Yaris Series! 3 “”Real Popular Cars”” aiming for the top ranking with a single car model
What are the most popular cars based on “”single model”” rather than combined series?
The Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA) releases a monthly ranking of new car sales to check the popularity of new cars.Better than the Yaris series! The “”Note,”” “”Roomy,”” and “”Rise”” all sell well in a single model .
The ranking is based on monthly registered car sales, but since it is based on “”brand”” by car name, Toyota’s Yaris, which is a regular at the top, includes the Yaris Cross and GR Yaris, which can be considered different models, and the Corolla includes the Touring, Sport, and Corolla Cross models as well. The Corolla also includes the Touring, Sport, and Corolla Cross models.
This can be seen as strategic branding, but it does not necessarily mean that a single model is overwhelmingly popular.
So, if we look at “”what is selling well as a stand-alone model?”” the picture changes considerably. What models are actually selling well?
Nissan “”Note”” (3rd generation), now exclusively e-POWER model
Nissan “”Note”” (3rd generation)
The Nissan “”Note”” has been reborn as a compact car with a moderately comfortable and spacious interior, and as a dedicated e-POWER series hybrid vehicle, which was installed in the previous generation.
Although classified as a compact car due to its appearance and displacement, it is a 5-door hatchback with a short nose and long deck style.
The Note has a sharp front mask that eliminates cuteness. The premium model “”Note Aura”” is also well received and has acquired universality and moderate luxury that can be driven by men and women of all ages.
With an overall length of 4045 mm x width of 1695 mm x height of 1520 mm, it fits within the 5-number zone, but with a wheelbase of 2580 mm, the rear seat passengers hardly feel cramped.
The 1.2-liter inline 3-cylinder engine for power generation and the drive motor are mounted here, and the cohesive exterior gives the car a sense of luxury that exceeds the B segment.
Of course, its low fuel consumption of 28.4km/L (WLTC mode) and its EV-like ride quality with only a motor to drive the car are also attractive.
Even though recharging facilities are increasing, those who are apprehensive about electric vehicles can still drive the e-POWER, which uses the gasoline engine to generate electricity, in both urban areas and over long distances without worry.
The “”Yaris Series”” topples the competition! Three “”real popular cars”” aiming for the top ranking in a single modelOEM cars are inherently less popular than the original…
Toyota “”RoomyNormally, OEM vehicles are not as popular as the base model, but the Toyota “”Roomy”” has become so popular that it has overturned such conventional wisdom.
The Roomy is a tall wagon that puts the Toyota badge on the Daihatsu-developed “”Tall,”” and it has been selling well since its introduction in 2016.
Toyota “”Roomy Custom””
The concept is “”1LD-Car,”” a cross between “”Living”” and “”Driving. The selling point of this car is its high practicality and spacious interior space for “”families raising children,”” which is the target of the base model, the Tall.
Daihatsu’s expertise in mini cars is considerable, as the tall wagon has become very popular among mini cars, and it has been accepted by users who think that a tall wagon looks good but a mini car is not enough for them.
The square-shaped, short-nosed body, measuring 3700 mm (L) x 1670 mm (W) x 1735 mm (H), is easy to maneuver, yet has a spacious cabin with plenty of headroom.
The 1-liter engine (69 PS) that is mounted on the 1140-kg car has a stress-free power output for four adults, and a 1-liter turbo engine is also available, allowing the driver to enjoy driving on highways with a sense of ease.
The rear sliding doors have a wide opening, making it easy for children and the elderly to get in and out of the car, as well as for loading luggage.
In addition, the body shape makes it easy to park in crowded commercial parking lots, and the high seating position provides good visibility, which has helped it consistently rank high in sales rankings.
Toyota “”Rise
Like the Roomy, the Toyota Rise is a crossover small SUV that is an OEM vehicle of Daihatsu, but has recorded higher sales volume than the Daihatsu Rocky, the original Daihatsu model.
Following the “”Tanto”” light tall wagon, the “”Rise”” is a model that adopts the “”DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture),”” and although Daihatsu is in charge of production, it is positioned as a joint development, with Toyota’s 4WD system being installed.
With an overall length of 3995 mm x width of 1695 mm x height of 1620 mm, it has a body size that fits within the 5-number range and is equipped with SUV-like features such as 17-inch tires.
Powertrains include Daihatsu’s 1-liter inline 3-cylinder turbo engine and the e-SMART Hybrid, a series-type hybrid added in 2021, making it a compact SUV with a focus on environmental performance.
Rise’s greatest appeal is probably its affordable price tag for an SUV. The hybrid version of the Rise is available, and it also comes standard with collision damage reduction brakes (so-called automatic brakes) and a false start suppression function, while higher grades come with even more extensive safety equipment.
Daihatsu’s ability to sell popular small SUVs at low prices can be attributed to Daihatsu’s ability to manufacture high-quality, low-priced products and Toyota’s ability to sell them.
For those who have always wanted to drive an SUV but were put off by its large size, the Rise is attractive because of its excellent environmental performance and safety features at an affordable price.
Perhaps the reason for its popularity is that it is twice as good as an SUV: it is the perfect size for city driving, but it also has the suspension of an SUV that can handle rough roads.
The number of cars that will be sold from January to June 2022 will be the same as that of the current model.
In the ranking by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association for the period from January to June 2022, the Yaris came in first (81,580 units), followed by the Corolla (79,988 units), the Roomy (65,525 units), the Note (56,948 units), and the Rise (45,380 units).
In addition to the top-ranking compact cars that are easy to maneuver, four of the five vehicles were Toyota cars, indicating that Toyota cars are immensely popular along with compact cars.

Toyota Unleashes the Jaw-Dropping Hilux Shakotan A Turbocharged Thrill with 0 Compromises
ByPawaniIn a dazzling display of automotive innovation, Toyota’s Thai subsidiary showcased the striking “Hilux Shakotan Specification” at the recently concluded 40th Thailand Motor Expo 2023. The event, held from November 29th to December 11th, featured an array of Toyota vehicles, with a special focus on the iconic Hilux Revo lineup.
The Hilux, a medium-sized pickup truck with a rich history dating back to 1968, has garnered global acclaim for its practicality, robust design featuring a ladder frame chassis, and a formidable four-wheel-drive system. The eighth generation, introduced in 2015, continues to be a symbol of reliability and off-road capability, sold in 180 countries worldwide. Notably, it made a triumphant return to the Japanese market after a hiatus of approximately 13 years, hitting the sales floor in 2017.
In the Thai market, the Hilux holds a significant position within the “IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle)” product group, commanding a substantial market share. Available in various body types, including 2-door, 4-door, and double-door 4-door (smart cab), the Hilux caters to both commercial and advanced passenger needs, offering both front-wheel-drive (FF) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems.
At this year’s Thailand Expo, Toyota’s booth featured not only the standard 4-door version of the Hilux Revo but also showcased custom models such as the rugged Rocco and the Z edition. Notably, the spotlight was on the highly customized “Hilux Shakotan Specification,” derived from the Z edition and boasting a lowered profile. The front tires sport a distinctive V-shape, accentuating the vehicle’s lowered stance, and the front grille area is enhanced with a sizable gunmetal grille bezel reminiscent of a kangaroo bar.
Embracing a sporty aesthetic, the Shakotan Specification features a “GR” badge on the front, a carbon garnish at the tip of the bonnet, and striking shark-like teeth decals along the body’s sides. The transformation from a sturdy pickup to an impressive sports car is further evident with smaller door mirrors, deep black wheels, and eye-catching decals on the doors and sides of the cargo bed.
While details about powertrain and interior modifications remain undisclosed, the allure of the Hilux Shakotan Specification lies in its unique design and aesthetic enhancements.
In a surprising announcement, Toyota revealed the upcoming release of a new model within the Hilux series—the Hilux Champ. Geared towards meeting Thailand’s domestic needs, the Hilux Champ boasts an inexpensive and straightforward structure, positioning itself as a potential new “people’s car.” The release on November 27th created anticipation surrounding its reception in the market.
By presenting the diverse Hilux series, Toyota aims to reaffirm its connection with the Thai people, showcasing a range of vehicles that cater to various preferences and needs. The success of the Hilux lineup, coupled with the introduction of the Hilux Champ, underscores Toyota’s commitment to providing innovative and reliable vehicles that resonate with a broad audience.
