A Brief History of Toyota

Toyota’s journey started in 1933 in Japan, evolving from a textile machinery business founded by Sakichi Toyoda. His son, Kiichiro Toyoda, saw the future of cars and from that bold vision, they became what is now one of the largest car manufacturers in the world. Toyota built its first passenger car, the Model AA, in 1936, and has been a leader in automotive engineering ever since.

Post-war growth saw Toyota develop a global reputation for affordability, reliability, and innovation. The launch of the Corolla in 1966 marked a turning point. What started as a modest compact car became the world’s best-selling vehicle. Toyota was also one of the first companies to embrace lean manufacturing, giving rise to the legendary Toyota Production System which is a process now studied worldwide.

More recently, Toyota has been a leader in hybrid and electric vehicle technology, with the Toyota Prius becoming the first mass-produced hybrid car in 1997. Today, Toyota continues to innovate with models like the RAV4 Hybrid, bZ4X electric SUV, and hydrogen-powered Mirai.

From humble beginnings to high-tech motoring, Toyota’s legacy is built on precision, consistency, and long-term performance. This is exactly what we support through our excellent Toyota service options at Elite Garages.
