New Car Sales 2015 | Toyota Triumphs In A Record Year – Camry Tops December Charts

The dust has settled, the numbers are in, and all-new 2015 models are now ‘last year’s cars’.

And what a year it was for new car sales, with VFACTS revealing the market set another new record of 1,155,408 sales for new passenger cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles.

The market was well on track to break the previous record (set in 2013 at 1,136,227 sales) at the end of November, and a solid December - which saw sales up 2.9 percent on the same month last year - sealed the deal.

Overall sales were also up 3.8 percent on 2014, and up 1.7 percent on 2013.

June and December can sometimes upset the sales ‘status quo’ owing to incentives and promotions for the end of financial and calendar years. Last month fit the bill, with Toyota’s Camry seemingly coming from nowhere to top the charts.

In fact, not only did the Camry win the sales race for December 2015, it was a mile ahead of its nearest rival in the usual sales-topper: Toyota’s Corolla.
