Mr Leroy said the company, which has its UK manufacturing plant at Burnaston, had been buoyed by new models and the growing popularity of hybrid cars in Europe.
Toyota makes the Auris hybrid at its Derbyshire plant. This summer it is expected to start making an estate version of the Auris, called the Auris Touring Sports.
