Toyota will offer the full-size Tundra and the Highlander in Japan and plans to add the Camry later, but the company expects only modest sales.
A Toyota Global press release says Toyota expects to sell about 80 Tundra units a month and roughly half that for the Highlander; each model will be offered in a single trim—the Tundra 1794 Edition and the Highlander Limited ZR Hybrid—and both will be left-hand-drive imports.
Toyota priced the Tundra at ¥12,000,000 and the Highlander at ¥8,600,000, roughly $75,500 and $54,200 at current rates; the company estimates combined annual sales will total fewer than about 1,500 vehicles.
The press release notes Toyota sold 12,949 Tundras in the U.S. last month, underscoring that Toyota expects limited appeal for full-size American models on Japan's narrower roads.
