Production
- Domestic production decreased year-on-year, due mainly to changes in plant operation schedules.
- Overseas production increased year-on-year boosted by production of Ascent which started in May 2018.
Sales in Japan
- Passenger vehicle sales increased year-on-year, led by the fully-redesigned Forester launched in July 2018 as well as increased sales of the Subaru XV driven by strong demand for the "e-Boxer"-equipped models.
(e-Boxer: Subaru's newly-developed power unit system that combines a 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed, direct injection Subaru Boxer engine with an electric motor.) - Mini vehicle sales decreased year-on-year due to decreased sales of the Chiffon and other models.
Export
- Exports from Japan decreased year-on-year due to a decrease in domestic production.
