What Toyota models are made in Thailand?
Toyota currently assembles a core lineup in Thailand that includes the Hilux pickup, Fortuner SUV, Innova/INNOVA Zenix MPVs, Corolla Cross crossover, and the Yaris Ativ sedan. These models form the backbone of Toyota’s Thai manufacturing operations and regional exports.
Thailand serves as a regional manufacturing hub for Toyota, with local plants producing vehicles for domestic sales and for ASEAN markets. The exact lineup can shift with new model launches, facelifts, and export strategies, so the current list may evolve over time.

Manufacturing footprint and rationale
Thailand’s role as a manufacturing hub stems from a long-standing automotive ecosystem, favorable logistics, and regional demand. Toyota’s Thai operations have historically produced vehicles for domestic sales and for ASEAN exports, supporting a broad mix of body types and powertrains across multiple countries.
Two primary production facilities
Toyota Motor Thailand operates major production facilities that handle stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly to support both standalone models and shared platforms for regional supply chains. The plants are configured to produce both pickup-based trucks and unibody SUVs/MPVs for local and export markets.
Export markets and regional strategy
Vehicles produced in Thailand are shipped to a wide range of ASEAN markets and other regions, with regional demand shaping the model mix. Thailand’s plants play a central role in Toyota’s Southeast Asia manufacturing footprint, complementing production in other countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam.
Summary: Toyota’s Thailand operations focus on a core set of locally assembled models that balance commercial utility with family-friendly design. The Hilux, Fortuner, Innova/Zenix, Corolla Cross, and Yaris Ativ form the backbone of Thai assembly and regional exports. The Thai manufacturing ecosystem remains a key part of Toyota’s Southeast Asia strategy, adapting to new models and market needs as they arise.
