- Toyota and Lexus brands reported record January sales of 822,577 units, an increase of 4.7% year-on-year, primarily driven by stronger overseas demand, particularly in North America and Europe.
- Electrified vehicles constituted over half of Toyota's January sales (414,386 units), with Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) experiencing an 87% jump to approximately 22,306 units.
- Toyota's global production fell 6.0% to 735,097 vehicles in January, marking the third consecutive monthly decline, attributed to new model preparations and a RAV4 model changeover, which led to North American production plunging 24.8%.
- Toyota maintained its position as the world's top carmaker in 2025, selling 11.3 million units.
- Elliott Management is actively trying to block Toyota Motor Group's take-private bid for Toyota Industries, asserting that the offer undervalues the company.

- Elliott holds about a 7% stake in Toyota Industries, while Toyota Motor Group, which already owns approximately a 25% stake, is still about 9% short of the two-thirds majority required for the squeeze-out, despite having sweetened its offer in January after the initial plan in June 2025.
