Toyota will continue a previously launched incentive programme to reimburse “most of the price increase” for qualified buyers, the company told CBS Marketwatch, which noted that Toyota recently announced that it would hike worldwide production of the hot-selling Prius by 50%, to 15,000 vehicles a month.
Toyota also announced price rises for some other models, the report added.
