< Production >
| － | Domestic production slightly increased year-on-year due to an increase in production of the SUBARU XV* especially for North America. (* Called “Crosstrek” in North America) |
| － | Overseas production increased year-on-year boosted by production of the Ascent that started in May 2018. |
< Sales in Japan >
| － | Passenger vehicle sales decreased year-on-year, as the momentum boosted last year by the redesigned Impreza and SUBARU XV models declined, offsetting increases led by the redesigned Forester and the upgraded Levorg and WRX models. |
| － | Mini vehicle sales decreased year-on-year as sales of the Chiffon, Pleo and Sambar declined. |
< Exports >
| － | Exports from Japan decreased year-on-year, mainly due to a decrease in shipments of the Forester to North America before the launch of its fully-redesigned version. |
