Toyota has closed out 2021 as the most popular car brand both in Ireland and here in Kerry. With 12.44% share of the passenger car market and four of its models (RAV4, Corolla, C-HR and Yaris) in the top ten best-sellers list, this success underpins the continued popularity of Toyota self-charging hybrids.
Tim Kelliher, of Kellihers Toyota Tralee – the sole Toyota dealer for the Kingdom has welcomed the news saying “The standout fact for me is that 98.25% of all the Toyota cars we sold in Kerry last year were self-charging hybrids. Our customers trusted us and trusted Toyota years ago in the switch away from diesel and that trust is now paying off, with lower running and maintenance costs along with higher resale values – 3 core principles of Toyota ownership. We here at Kellihers look forward to supplying the county with superior Toyota products in the years ahead.”

7 PEUGEOT 182 8.19%
8 NISSAN 98 4.41%
