The Toyota RAV4 and Land Cruiser drive the brand’s sales.
SUVs are hot right now, and the 2019 Toyota RAV4 continues to lead the pack in June. Toyota announced its monthly sales figures today, with its staple crossover selling 39,152 examples. That’s up a modest 3.8 percent from June 2018, but it still marks the best June ever for the model.
So, too, did sales rise significantly for the Land Cruiser in June. Mind you, the Toyota Land Cruiser is a large SUV that starts at $85,165. Nevertheless, it racked up a 17.2 percent improvement in its sales from the same time last year. In fact, these models models along with the Toyota Camry and Corolla, which both marked a small sales gain around 2.5 percent, were the only ones to gain in June 2019. The relatively scarce Marai also picked up, but it’s currently only sold in California.
But what about Lexus? In June 2019, Toyota’s luxury brand dropped 3.0 percent from this time in 2018. While most brands are doing well with crossovers, all of Lexus’ crossover models suffered in June 2019. In fact, only the redesigned ES sedan and heavily-marketed RC coupe posted gains last month.

Lexus: 23,047 vehicles (-3.0%) sold in June 2019
The Lexus RX is still the brand’s best-selling model, moving 8,228 examples in June 2019. That’s down 7.1 percent from the same time in 2018, however. The story is much the same for the rest of Lexus’ lineup, with the exception of the ES and RC.
Lexus just redesigned the ES for the 2019 model year, and its sales have picked up since. Lexus sold 4,350 examples of the ES in June, up from 3,592 during the same period last year. The RC has seen some heavy marketing in recent months, and its sales went up from 326 in June 2018 to 381 in June 2019. That’s still a relatively small number, but it does represent a 16.2 percent increase in sales.
Lexus has the UX as well, its newest, smallest and least expensive crossover in the range. It just recently went on sale, so there’s no year-over-year data for comparison on that model just yet.
