Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) recently inaugurated its first company-owned Toyota Used Car Outlet (TUCO) under the ‘Toyota U-Trust’ brand.

The new facility is spread over 15,000 sq. ft. and can display over 20 vehicles certified by the automaker.
Toyota India forayed into the used car business in 2022 and the first-of-its-kind TUCO facility was inaugurated in Bengaluru the same year. The TUCO dealerships are retail touchpoints designed for buying and selling preowned Toyota vehicles.
The company says each of the preowned cars undergoes a comprehensive 203-point inspection process, which is based on the global Toyota standards to determine the quality level after due diligence. The inspections also include safety, structural rigidity and performance checks.
