Toyota Car Sales October 2026: Dispatches Fall 27% YoY to 29,521 Units; Fortuner Grows 36%, Glanza Slumps 86%
Toyota Kirloskar Motor reported domestic passenger vehicle dispatches of 29,521 units in October 2026, compared with 40,257 units in October 2025, representing a decline of 26.7% year-on-year.
Despite the significant annual contraction, Toyota registered sequential growth of 18%, with dispatches increasing from 25,027 units in September 2026.
The October performance reflects contrasting trends across Toyota's portfolio. While the Fortuner maintained strong growth and several models recorded healthy month-on-month improvements, steep annual declines in the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Innova range and Glanza weighed heavily on overall volumes.

Auto Punditz Analysis
Toyota's October 2026 domestic wholesale performance presents a mixed picture.
On the positive side, the automaker recorded an 18% sequential recovery, with eight of its eleven model lines reporting higher dispatches than in September. The Fortuner's strong double-digit annual growth also stood out against the broader contraction.
However, the substantial declines in the Glanza, Hyryder and Innova range remain significant concerns from a volume perspective. The Glanza's 86% annual contraction was particularly notable, while the Hyryder's 33% decline also had a considerable impact given its contribution to Toyota's overall volumes.
With the Innova range and Hyryder accounting for nearly three-fifths of dispatches, Toyota's future wholesale performance will remain closely linked to these two high-volume product lines.
Overall, October 2026 represented a sequential recovery for Toyota rather than a year-on-year turnaround. While the Fortuner delivered encouraging growth, the broader portfolio will need more consistent performance to reverse the annual decline.
