Just like we’ve been saying in our previous reports on price adjustments, there are plenty of factors that cause this. But mainly, it can be attributed to the ever-changing economic status of the country. That said, prices are adjusted to fit our current inflation and currency exchange rates, among others.
Also note that in other cases, prices are increased when a model is updated and gets new features. In this case though, the Hilux and the Corolla Cross both remain unchanged from their 2022 model year versions.
