Toyota remains the world's top-selling automaker as its sales hit a record

Toyota has kept its title as the world's top-selling carmaker, with its sales reaching a record level in 2025. This has highlighted a gap with other Japanese automakers like Honda and Nissan, whose sales have fallen compared to the previous year.

Separately, Toyota's popular Corolla Cross model received a two-star safety rating, which raised concerns from the CEO of the AA. In other news, Toyota agreed to increase its offer to buy Toyota Industries by 15%, a move that has turned into a battleground with activist investors pushing for an even higher price.
