Toyota, which is not officially represented on the Russian market, has returned to the top ten in terms of car sales in the country. This was reported on June 30 by the analytical agency Autostat.

Thus, according to the results of the 26th week of this year (June 23-29), 524 new Toyota passenger cars were sold in Russia.
