Toyota vehicles were first imported into Malaysia in August 1956, with the first unit being a Land Cruiser Toyota signed distributor agreements with various Malaysian partners prior to UMW Toyota Motor, namely Asia Motor, Kah Motor, Borneo Motors, Sarin Motor, and Eastern Motor. Additionally, two Malaysian plants were appointed as assemblers of Toyota's complete knockdown kits, namely Champion Motors / Assembly Services and Sarawak Motor Industries.
In March 1980, Toyota set up a representative office in Kuala Lumpur, and in October 1982, Sejati Motor was established through a joint venture between the Toyota Motor Corporation and United Motor Works (UMW). Sejati Motor acquired the Assembly Services plant and Borneo Motors network from Inchcape, and in October 1987, Sejati Motor was renamed UMW Toyota Motor. In 2006, UMW Toyota Motor was awarded the franchise rights to distribute Lexus vehicles in Malaysia.
