The latest news on our new vehicle supply constraints

We are incredibly grateful for your patience as on-going global supply delays are causing extended wait-times for your new vehicle arrival.
 
While much of this is outside of our control, we are focusing on finding solutions to minimise wait times whilst maintaining accurate timely communication with you along the way.

Toyota is working hard to secure more stock into New Zealand. However, our top priority as your Toyota dealership is to keep you informed of the progress of your new car and any changes to the delivery plan along the way. Thank you again for your understanding and for working with us under these unique circumstances.

Steve Pragnell, General Manager of New Vehicles and Product Planning at Toyota New Zealand, said in a recent report that global demand is impacting all areas of Toyota New Zealand’s business including new vehicles, used vehicles from Japan, parts and accessories; having a varying effect on delivery schedules for customers.

"Despite these delays, Toyota is experiencing a huge demand, especially for our hybrid variants and we are seeing customers opt to wait upwards of six months for vehicles like the RAV4 Hybrid in order to get exactly what they want". Delivery times for new Toyota vehicles, and especially those in hot demand such as the Hybrid RAV4 and the latest Hilux, are ranging from a four to six month wait. Delivery of other new models into New Zealand are delayed by an average of 18 weeks due to production and international shipping constraints. Pragnell says "the biggest challenge for Toyota now, is the more than 10,000 back orders, as we are struggling to get the supply to fulfil these orders quickly".

If you are considering options for a new vehicle within the next 8 months, we would encourage you to have a  chat our sales team and we can give you more information about the supply of the models you're interested in.
