The Toyota Prius c is Japan's hottest model, as figures show. Badged domestically as the Toyota Aqua, the compact hybrid vehicle is the best selling vehicle in the land of the rising sun for the first half of the year 2015, retaining its sales lead from last year.
This is according to the sales report released by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association and the Japan Light Motor Vehicle and Motorcycle Association. In the passenger car category, a total of 121,240 units of the Aqua has been shifted in the first six months.
The biggest factor that contributed a great deal to the Toyota Aqua's success, is perhaps its fuel efficiency amongst its hybrid rivals – it's the best, when matched up against its contenders. The Aqua is claimed to have a record fuel consumption figure of 37.0 km/l on the JC08 cycle.
Its older cousin the Toyota Prius, ranks number two, with 71,401 units moved, which sees it overtaking the Honda Fit (Jazz). Presently, a total of 67,490 units have been sold, pushing the Jazz down into third place. Other notable entries in the list include the Mazda Demio (Mazda 2) in seventh with 43,634 units, and the Honda Vezel/HR-V in ninth (38,218 units).
