Data released a few days ago by the Japan Automotive Dealers Association shows that Toyota has not one but two of the best sold cars in the country. The Aqua hatchback is the best sold car with 26,543 units last month, followed by the Prius with 23,069 units. The top three ranking is rounded up by the Honda Fit.
"Aqua" is the domestic market name for the hybrid Prius c. It's a supermini based on the Yaris chassis and powered by 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 74 hp, and mated to a 45 kW electric motor. Combined output is exactly 100 hp, which is enough to push it to 100 km/h (62mph) in 10.7 seconds in combination with its CVT gearbox.
