Toyota gets 14,000 pre-sale orders for SAI hybrid

Toyota Motor Corp. said on Tuesday it had received about 14,000 orders for the new SAI hybrid sedan to go on sale in Japan on Dec. 7, or roughly five times its monthly sales target of 3,000 units, Reuters reported.
The world’s biggest automaker said the high-end car’s fuel economy, which is comparable to a compact car, and tax incentives worth up to 280,000 yen ($3,150) were behind the strong interest, the news said. Toyota unveiled the SAI, the brand’s second dedicated hybrid car, on Oct. 20, Reuters said.
The car, which is a repackaged version of the Lexus HS250h, has a starting price of 3.38 million yen ($38,020), the report said. (Reuters)
