Production
- Domestic production decreased year-on-year due to fewer working days. (Two days less than January last year)
- Overseas production significantly increased year-on-year, due to increased production capacity as well as the all-new Impreza’s start of production in November 2016.
Sales in Japan
- Passenger vehicle sales increased year-on-year led by the all-new Impreza launched in October 2016.
- Mini vehicle sales slightly decreased year-on-year, as a decline in the Stella and Pleo sales offset sales of the all-new Chiffon launched in December 2016.
Exports
- Exports from Japan rose year-on-year led by increased shipments to North America and Australia.
