The consolidated sales volume for domestic passenger cars in FY2005 saw a 6.4 thousand unit decrease compared to the previous year with the Legacy and a 1.1 thousand unit decrease with the Traviq, for which sales have ended. The 1.7 thousand unit increase with the Impreza, which occurred after it underwent a major facelift, could not make up for these and other decreases. Overall, 6.3 thousand less units were sold. On the other hand, minicars were down 17.5 thousand units. The 1.6 thousand unit increase with the R1 and Pleo did not cover the 15.9 thousand unit decrease with the R2 and the 3.3 thousand unit decrease with the Sambar. All together 23.9 thousand less units were sold.

In overseas markets, U.S. sales for the B9 Tribeca were at 22.6 thousand units, and Impreza sales were up 1.1 thousand units. However, the Legacy and Forester sales were down 17.8 thousand units, while the Saab 9-2X was down 6.4 thousand units, resulting in an overall decrease of 0.4 thousand units.
In Canada, the new car effect resulted in 1.3 thousand units sold for the B9 Tribeca, and the Impreza was at 0.1 thousand units, off-setting the decrease in existing models. However, the Saab 9-2X was down 0.4 thousand units, resulting in an overall decrease of 0.1 thousand units.
Sales of the Forester in Europe were at 6.6 thousand units, thanks to its major facelift, off-setting the 2.4 thousand unit decrease with the Legacy and Impreza to produce an overall increase of 4.2 thousand units sold.
In Australia, sales rose by 1.1 thousand units thanks to steady Impreza and Forester sales.
The other overseas markets saw a strong growth in Israel and China. In Israel, there were customer incentives before the revision of the regulations.
Ultimately, there was a 13.6 thousand unit increase overseas, but this could not prevent an overall decrease of 23.4 thousand units caused by a drop in domestic sales and the 13.2 thousand unit decrease resulting from discontinued consignment production at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.(SIA).
