Toyota has launched its first Toyota Used Car Outlet (TUCO) under the 'Toyota U-Trust' brand in New Delhi. The new preowned car dealership, spanning 15,000sq. ft., can showcase over 20 vehicles certified by the automaker. The outlet is designed to provide customers with convenience, transparency, and peace of mind during the purchase and sale of preowned Toyota cars.

Quality assurance

Toyota's preowned car inspection

Each preowned car at TUCO undergoes a rigorous 203-point inspection process based on global Toyota standards, including safety, structural rigidity, and performance checks. The new TUCO showrooms aim to replicate the same ambiance and customer experience, as buying a brand-new car from any of the company's outlets. According to Toyota, buyers will be provided with complete documentation, fair competitive pricing, and a comprehensive vehicle history.

Takashi Takamiya, Vice President of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, emphasized that the used car business is a key pillar of Toyota's overall business and growth strategy in India.

The inauguration of the first used car outlet in New Delhi exemplifies their dedication to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Customers can evaluate the vehicles online through the 'Toyota U-Trust' website and each preowned car comes with a warranty of up to 30,000km or two years.

Market outlook

Growth potential of used car market in India

The expansion of TUCO with the inauguration of their first used car outlet in New Delhi, is a testament to Toyota's dedication to this growing sector.
