Where is Toyota made? Where are Toyota cars assembled?

Toyota Corolla- one of popular models with modern buyers. The reliability of its operation, simplicity and at the same time stylish design attracts attention. The Toyota auto concern itself is considered almost the leading automotive giant in the world, but there are many discrepancies in the question of where the Toyota Corolla is assembled. And this is not surprising.

Russia

Let's start with our country. The official representative of the Toyota brand in the Russian Federation is Toyota Motor RUS. It is through her that cars become available to the Russian buyer. The first assembly line in our country is the plant in Shushary, where Toyota has been assembled since 2007. It is here that the car is assembled, painted, welded body parts, and in 2013 the plant produced more than 35,000 cars.

Japan

Toyota Corolla is assembled at the Japanese plant Takaoka. This is the original company that has been manufacturing Toyota since 1918, producing about 6 million models a year. Large assembly shop - Tsutsumi. Takaoka currently produces 10 models, including the Toyota Corolla. The company has existed since 1918, and initially looms were produced here. In those days, there was little demand for cars in the country, and therefore there was no question of their mass production. And the first four cars that were created here were trucks.

The main development of the company took place in the 50s, when they began to open automobile concerns in other countries. It is noteworthy that the plant in Takaoka assembles not only cars Japanese stamps, compact and economical in terms of fuel consumption, but also the "Americans" - powerful and voracious. Every month, the company produces about 10,000 vehicles, while here they are engaged in the professional manufacture of trailers and semi-trailers. Initially, only Japanese-made cars were delivered to Russia.

Turkey

It is from this country that Toyota Corolla is delivered to Russia. This facility has been significantly improved and modernized, and the assembly process itself has become better in terms of equipment. Here, in Sakarya, cars of this model were produced from 1994 to 2006. Novorossiysk became the transit point for Corolla deliveries to the Russian Federation. In 2014, the company reached new capacities, which will allow the production of about 150,000 car models per year.


England

The Burnaston plant in England also assembles the Toyota Corolla. The history of this enterprise began in 1989, and the first Toyota left the assembly line in 1992. Today, in the British concern, steel body elements are stamped, welding and painting are carried out, and plastic elements are produced in the form of bumpers and panels.

Today, Toyota brand cars are familiar not only to every motorist, but also to a child. The world's largest Japanese automotive corporation with a rich and almost century-long history, which began with the production of looms, has grown to unprecedented proportions.

The country that produces Toyota cars is Japan, but production is based not only at home, the steady growth of the scale of the enterprise has necessitated the creation of factories around the world, where cars for different markets are produced under the Toyota brand.

The creation of Toyota Motors Corporation is officially dated August 28, 1937. Until that time, since 1933, the gasoline motor vehicle production line had been part of the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, specializing in the creation of looms. The founder of the corporation, Kiichiro Toyoda, having studied the automotive industry in the United States and Europe, got excited about the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe automotive industry and, thanks to the support of his father, was able to successfully implement it. Despite the post-war crisis, the company still managed to stay afloat and flourish with renewed vigor, steadily increasing production rates every year. Toyota Motors suffered losses only in 2009, but from the next year the situation began to improve.

Toyota is one of the ten largest corporations in the world, and the scope of the company's activities is not limited to the automotive industry, although this is the main direction, the business is tied to other areas, the provision of financial services, etc. The brand has been invariably associated with cars for decades, in the line of which almost every model becomes a hit. An important role in development of Toyota Motors also play subsidiaries. Every year, millions of cars of all classes and types under the brands Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu, Scion, Hino leave the assembly lines of the corporation's factories.

Toyota car manufacturing

The main production facilities of the corporation are located in Japan, but with the growth of sales outside the homeland, the auto giant has significantly expanded its field of activity. Large factories are located in Thailand, Indonesia, as well as other Asian countries, Canada, the USA and Europe. Cars are coming to Russia Toyota brands, assembled at factories in Japan, England, Turkey, France, but some models are also assembled on the territory of the Russian Federation. Wherever brand cars are produced, the quality requirements are the same.

What Toyota models are assembled in Russia

In the Russian Federation, the Toyota auto concern is represented so far by two divisions - this is Toyota Motor RUS, an enterprise that is officially the representative office of the brand, selling cars of any assembly, and the Toyota plant in Shushary (St. Petersburg), specializing in the production part. The assembly line was founded in 2005, and since 2007, it has been churning out models Toyota Camry for sales within the country, and now beyond its borders to Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Since 2016, after the completion of the construction of new workshops, the production of the equally famous RAV-4 has been launched at the plant. The production of Toyota cars in Russia is at a decent level, and there will be no significant differences in assembly, since the company controls production to maintain the proper quality of its cars.

In 2013, the Land Cruiser Prado began to roll off the assembly line in the Far East of the Russian Federation, but two years later this idea was abandoned. Toyota Prado 2018 is still shipped from Japan.

The success of a brand is made up of many factors, and although the company's path to fame cannot be called thorny, it is still the fruit of great work. In many ways, the universal love of consumers from all over the world is the result of the automaker's attentive attitude to the needs and priorities of motorists from different countries. An individual approach to the client always ensures a high level of sales, and the automotive business is no exception. Along with decent quality and improvement Toyota models creates cars that are relevant in modern realities, adapted to the operating conditions of specific regions, and careful control in production allows us to maintain positions, despite the fact that many models are not at all "thoroughbred" Japanese.

The main country producing Toyota cars is Japan, but with the growing popularity of the concern's products, it became necessary to cover the current demand and open new factories.

So, step by step, Toyota production was established in many countries of the world - France, Great Britain, Indonesia and others. Russia was no exception, where the products of this brand are especially valued.

About Toyota

Toyota began its activity with the manufacture of looms, and only in 1933 a car assembly workshop was opened.

To date, Toyota is the largest corporation producing more than a dozen car models and supplying products to almost all corners of the planet. The main office of the enterprise is based in the city of the same name Toyota.

The Second World War had a negative impact on the work of the company, and production was fully restored only by 1956. A year later, deliveries began to the USA and Brazil, and after another 5 years - to Europe.

By 2007, Toyota has earned the title of the largest automobile manufacturer and to this day successfully holds it.

Certain difficulties arose during the periods of 2008-2009, when, due to the financial crisis, the concern ended the year with losses, but after a while the company managed to bypass the sales of such giants as General Motors and Volkswagen.

By 2015, Toyota brand cars were recognized as the most expensive and in demand in the premium segment.

The main activity of the company is the manufacture of cars and buses.

The main facilities for the production of cars are located in Japan, but the concern's factories are scattered around the world.

Production is carried out in the following countries:

  • Thailand (Samut Prakan);
  • USA (Kentucky);
  • Indonesia (Jakarta);
  • Canada (Ontario) and others.

The concern's products are sent to Japan (about 45%), North America (about 13%), Asia, Europe and other regions of the world. Dealer centers Toyota sales and service centers are open in several dozen countries, and their number is only growing.

Sales in Russia

The history of Toyota cars in Russia began almost 20 years ago. So, in 1998, a representative office of the concern was opened in Moscow.

The first sales success showed the correctness of the chosen vector, and after a while (in 2002) a marketing and sales company began to work. This year is considered a full-fledged start of activity. Japanese manufacturer on the territory of the country.

In the future, relations between Japan and Russia in the automotive and other sectors have been actively developed. So, in 2007, Toyota Bank began operating in the Russian Federation, based in two cities - St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Financial institutions provided loans to customers and acted as lenders to official dealers Lexus and Toyota.

By the way, Toyota became the first manufacturer that managed to open its banks on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In 2015, the popularity of Toyota cars reached its peak, which was confirmed by a record number of sales. About a hundred thousand cars were sold through official dealers.

The following models are in the greatest demand - Camry, RAV 4, Land Cruiser, Prado and others.

An interesting fact is that the Land Cruiser 200 in premium segment occupies a leading position in sales, and its share is almost 45%.

Models that are assembled in Russia - factories

In 2005, an agreement was drawn up between the Russian government and the Toyota concern on the construction of a plant for the production of cars in the industrial zone of St. Petersburg.

The project was launched after 2 years, and the first "domestic" model was Toyota Camry.

Initially, the sales volume was 20,000 cars annually, but the concern's representatives planned to increase the figure to 300,000 units.

All machines that were produced in Russia were designed for domestic market.

Despite the popularity of the Japanese brand's products, by 2014 sales decreased, and in the first 6 months about 13,000 cars were made, which was 1.5% less than in the same period in 2013.

To expand production, it was decided to supply Toyota Camry, made near St. Petersburg, to other countries - Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Despite some problems, the plant continues to develop. Thus, the construction of new stamping shops has recently been completed, and in 2016 it was possible to launch the production of RAV4.

The main issue concerns the build quality, which many do not like.

In 2013, the production of another representative of the Toyota concern, the Land Cruiser Prado, started. The Far East became the center of production. At the same time, the start of assembly in Russia did not lead to cheaper products, and prices remained at the same level. The planned production volume is 25 thousand cars annually.

The manufacture of machines in the Far East is focused on the domestic consumer - the Russian market.

In addition to the factories mentioned, Toyota for Russia is assembled in the following countries:

  • Japan (Tahara) is one of the largest suppliers. Ten models of cars have been produced here since 1918, and the total turnover exceeds 8 million cars annually. About three hundred thousand employees are involved in servicing the facilities.
  • France (Valenciennes);
  • Japan (Tahara);
  • England (Bernanston);
  • Turkey (Sakarya).

Where is the Toyota Camry assembled?

The Camry model belongs to the D-class cars. Its production has been established in many countries of the world - China, the Russian Federation, Australia, England, the USA and, of course, in Japan itself.

During its existence, seven generations of the car have been produced and so far the manufacturer does not plan to slow down. Depending on the generation, the car may belong to the premium or middle classes.

Until 2008, Toyota Camry for the Russian market was produced in Japan. After the opening of the plant in Shushary, domestic consumers are offered cars assembled at their own facilities. This is what happens to this day.

Toyota Corolla

One of the most popular in the Russian Federation is the model. This is a compact vehicle, the production of which has been established since 1966. After another 8 years (in 1974), the car entered the Guinness Book of Records - it became the best-selling car in the world.

In 2016, this model turned 50 years old, and during this period more than 40 million cars were sold.

Previously, Corolla was assembled only in Japan, at the Takaoka plant. The situation changed in 2013, when the manufacturer introduced the 11th generation of the machine.

Since that moment, the assembly of Corolla for Russia has been carried out in Turkey, in the city of Sakarya. Deliveries of automotive equipment are carried out through Novorossiysk.

Today, only “Turkish” Corolla cars are available to motorists in the Russian Federation, but on secondary market you can find real "Japanese".

There is a lot of discussion about build quality. According to the reviews of car owners and specialists, it almost did not change.

At the plant in Turkey, modern equipment has been installed, a staff of qualified employees has been recruited, and quality control is carried out by Toyota representatives themselves.

It is worth noting that earlier Japanese brand Corolla cars were already produced in Turkey (from 1994 to 2006). Cars were sold not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in other countries.

Toyota RAV 4

The RAV 4 model has earned popularity due to its compactness, solid appearance and rich stuffing.

Crossover production began in 1994, and initially the car was aimed at young people. The number "4" in the name means the presence of permanent all-wheel drive.

Today, this crossover is in great demand among motorists in the Russian Federation. Until recently, assembly was carried out only in Japan at two factories - Takaoka and Taharan. This was until August 22, 2016. It was on this day that the first car of the model rolled off the assembly line of the plant in St. Petersburg.

The cars are planned to be sold not only in Russia, but also in a number of other countries - Kazakhstan and Belarus.

Toyota Prado

Model Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is the pride of the Japanese concern. This SUV is rightfully considered one of the best representative brand.

The advantages include an increased level of comfort, rich equipment, as well as a chic interior. The car is produced in 3 and 5-door versions.

Starting from the second generation, production was carried out with an emphasis on the Toyota 4Runner platform, but already from the 3rd generation, production was launched under the name Lexus GX.

The greatest interest for domestic buyers are cars produced in Japan. It is they who are considered "purebred Japanese". All three Land Cruiser models (100, 200 and Prado) are assembled in Japan at the Tahara plant.

By the way, in 2013, the assembly of these cars was launched in Russia at an enterprise in Vladivostok, but already in 2015 the idea had to be abandoned. The reason was the low level of sales.

Toyota Avensis

The next representative of the D-class from the Japanese brand is Toyota Avensis. The main competitors are Opel Vectra and others.

In the European market, the car replaced the Toyota Carina E, and in 2007 the Avensis station wagon appeared, which replaced Kaldina.

Despite the Japanese affiliation, cars have never been assembled on the territory of Japan. And in general, Avensis is not intended for Japanese market. The main consumers are European countries and Russia.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, cars manufactured in England are mainly sold at a plant in Derbyshire.

The first cars left the assembly line in 2008, and a year later their number exceeded 115,000. There are no complaints about the quality - everything is done with English precision and scrupulousness.

Toyota Hilux

The Toyota Hilux is a special medium-sized pickup truck that has been sold in Russia since 2010.

Due to the longitudinal arrangement of the motor, frame structure, as well as all-wheel drive, the machine has earned popularity all over the world. To date, eight generations of this car have been produced.

For Russia, Toyota Hilux is assembled in two countries - Thailand and South Africa. Generally speaking, assembly for other countries has also been established in Argentina and Indonesia.

Toyota Highlander

Another representative of the Japanese brand, Toyota Highlander, deserves special attention. This vehicle belongs to the SUV class and is based on Toyota K.

The first performance took place in 2000. The main consumers are young people aged 20-30 years.

Initially, the model was intended for sales only in Japan. In the Highlander class, it is higher than RAV 4, but inferior to Prado.

The main consumers of this car are the Americans, but there is also a certain demand in Russia.

Vehicles assembled in the USA (Indiana, Preston) and slightly adapted to local conditions arrive on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Sienna minivans are also assembled here. The car is also produced in Japan, but these models are sent to the EU countries.

Toyota Venza

The Toyota Venza belongs to the class of 5-seater crossovers. Initially, the car was produced for the United States, but since 2013 it has also been introduced to the Russian market.

Toyota Venza is positioned as a car for young families who travel a lot and love an active lifestyle. The first sales in the world started at the end of 2008.

The model differs in reliability, rich functional content and comfort. In 2012, shortly before the start of sales in Russia, a restyled version was introduced.

Since 2015, the car has not been sold in the United States, and in 2016, sales on the Russian market also stopped. Today, the Toyota Venza can still be found in the Chinese and Canadian markets.

Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris is a compact "Japanese", made in a hatchback body. Production vehicle started in 1999.

The name Yaris was borrowed from the name of the ancient Greek goddess of joy and fun (the original name is Charis).

The second name of the car is Vitz, but it only applies to cars made for the Japanese market.

In Europe and Japan, the car appeared in one year - in 1999. In 2005, a 2nd generation car was introduced, and in 2006 sales began in Russia.

Machines of the 3rd generation were produced only in Japan, at a factory in Yokohama, and were intended for the domestic market. Soon production started in France, from where the model gets to the EU and Russia.

Toyota FJ Cruiser

FJ Cruiser car from Toyota is a compact SUV, which is made in the original retro style.

The concept was first presented in 2003, and production itself was launched two years later.

In the US and Canada, the first sales started in 2007. Externally, the car resembles the FJ40 model, which was produced 50 years ago.

The car is made only in Japan. At the same time, in 2014, sales of this model in the United States were discontinued.

Over the past two years, cars could be purchased in the markets of Japan, China, Australia and a number of other countries. In 2016, the company announced its intention to stop production of the FJ Cruiser.

Toyota Prius

Auto - mid-size "hybrid" from the Japanese brand, which can run on gasoline and electricity. The battery has a large capacity, reaching 1.3-1.4 kWh.

The electric motor is capable of performing the functions of a generator and recharging the battery.

Cars are produced exclusively in Japan, at the Tsutsumi plant. In 2015, a new generation of the car was introduced, and since February 2017, the first orders have been received from Russia.

Answer from 2 answers[guru]

Probably, today everyone knows that Japan is the birthplace of the Toyota family. The popularity of this brand is so great that the owners of the company from 1966 to 2012 produced more than forty million cars in other countries. The geography of production of Toyota cars is constantly increasing. Today, the concern has 52 automobile plants abroad.

This popular brand produced and assembled in many European countries. Factories have been built in Great Britain, Canada, and many countries of the African continent. Everywhere, in any country where it is produced Toyota assembly, the requirements for the quality of products are the same. This is one of the main reasons why this brand has not lost its prestige among owners for many years.

In Japan, production has been launched at the factories in Takaoka and Tsutsumi. Takaoka is one of the largest companies in the world. The turnover of this company is more than 6 million cars per year. There are more than 280,000 workers employed in this production. This plant is the main supplier of Toyota for Russia and its regions.

Tsutsumi is also a major center where Corolla models are assembled. This plant provides an opportunity for workers from Russia to undergo training and internships. This company also produces other Toyota models.


Toyota Corolla cars assembled in Japan are noticeably distinguished by their quality. An experienced specialist without much stress will immediately distinguish the European assembly from the Japanese one. These differences are found in salons, engines, gearboxes. Unfortunately, cars in the regions of the Russian Federation are delivered without heated seats, and this causes certain inconveniences when operating in areas with a cold climate.

Today, due to the increased cost of Corolla, the release of this model in Japan is curtailed. Increase the cost of this machine does not allow a lot of competition. Therefore, the concern's managers are looking for other countries to continue the production of this popular model.

Car production in Turkey

For many years, owners and just fans of this model were interested in where the Toyota Corolla is assembled, which is operated in Russia and neighboring countries. Most of these cars come to us from Turkey. The city of Sakarya became automobile Toyota center in Turkey. It is expected that in 2015 the threshold of 150,000 cars produced will be exceeded. They assemble and deliver cars to more than 50 countries.

Turkey and Japan have long been partners in the production of these machines. Their cooperation began back in 1996 with the assembly of the seventh Toyota generations. The pace of production and assembly at this plant remains high, which makes it one of the best in Europe.

Car production in England

The history of the Bernaston car factory in England began back in 1989, and three years later the first Toyota Corolla left the factory gates. Today, this British company is engaged in the production of steel body elements, produces various panels and bumpers from plastic, and also assembles other Toyota models.


Production in St. Petersburg

Japan and Russia began their cooperation in establishing the production of Toyota Corolla between Japan and Russia with the construction of a plant in 2005. The Leningrad region was chosen as a place for the construction of a car assembly plant. This place was Shushary, where the first Toyota Corolla was assembled in 2007.


The company employs about 2 thousand people. Workers undergo training and internships at automobile production facilities in Japan. The workshops produce welding, painting of Corolla bodies, and they are also assembled to full working capacity. The quality of products is subject to requirements similar to factories in Japan. In 2013 alone, more than 35,000 cars left the gates of the company.
