As online shopping has been growing like crazy these days especially with the COVID-19 pandemic where most of us have had to work or do everything from home. You can buy anything online these days and even make the first step in purchasing a car by placing a booking via online shopping portals or through the company websites. Now, Toyota Malaysia has opened their official online stores on Lazada Malaysia and Shopee Malaysia.
UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) now has online stores at two of Malaysia’s popular e-commerce platforms - Lazada and Shopee. At these online stores, car buyers can find special deals on selected Toyota models. Being online, the Toyota Malaysia Flagship Stores are open 24/7 so they can be visited at any time of the day, making it convenient for shoppers. These stores are part of the push by UMWT to make their online presence larger than ever. Recently, the company even launched a more comprehensive virtual showroom on their official website.
“As online shopping is now part of daily life, UMW Toyota Motor is also establishing a presence on the popular ecommerce platforms of Lazada Malaysia and Shopee with the Toyota Flagship Stores. We want to make it as easy as possible for customers to buy Toyota vehicles in Malaysia, especially if they are looking for great money-saving deals. This follows the earlier introduction of the Toyota Online Showroom which was very well received,” said Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor
Interestingly, booking fees at the Toyota Malaysia Flagship Stores can be as low as RM250 and payment can be made the same way as purchasing other goods online, which is by credit card or electronic fund transfers from banks.
The booking fee starts the purchase process which will be followed up by a Sales Advisor at the nearest authorized Toyota dealership to the customer. Chat support is also available at the online stores (Monday – Friday, 9:30am – 5:30pm) for customers who may have queries.
Currently, there are promotions, for selected 2019 stocks only, at the online stores and this will happen from time to time with exclusive money-saving offers. As an example, there is currently a special promotion available for the Toyota Fortuner SUV (limited stocks) worth RM22,760 and it comes with 5 years of free scheduled maintenance (terms and conditions apply).
There are other exclusive deals for the Toyota Innova, Toyota Harrier and Toyota Hilux (limited stocks) as well. The deals are available only for online bookings at the Toyota Flagship Stores on both Lazmall and Shopee Mall.
“Online sales of new cars have been gaining popularity in other countries and has become more appreciated with the current situation whereby consumers may be reluctant to go to showrooms due to health concerns. We therefore offer online channels through the popular e-commerce platforms as well as our own Toyota Online Showroom so they can be fully informed and then make the purchase conveniently,” added Akio Takeyama, Deputy Chairman of UMW Toyota Motor.
