    Also, for the 20th consecutive year, the Camry was crowned as the best-selling passenger car in the US and the RAV4 became the best-selling SUV for the 5th consecutive year.

    This achievement becomes all the more special for Toyota and all the other automakers. Especially in light of the global semi-conductor chip shortage that came out as a major challenge for automakers in 2021.
