Toyota is one of the top auto brands in Nigeria and through the TNL, the Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan has over the years expanded its presence in Nigeria and is today one of the most popular brands if not the most popular in the country.
The flagship Toyota Corolla brands have become a household name in the Nigeria automobile market with several trade-ins being carried out per second.
Toyota recently attained a 50m Corolla sale milestone in November 1966 when it made its debut in Japan as a 1-litre compact 5-seater sedan.
