< Production >
– Domestic production increased year-on-year, as an increase in production of the Legacy, Outback, Impreza, and Subaru XV offset a decrease in production of other models.
– Overseas production increased year-on-year with continued strong sales of the Legacy and Outback in North America.
< Japan Sales >
– While the Impreza and Subaru XV sales increased, total passenger vehicle sales posted a year-on-year decrease as demand for the Levorg, launched in June 2014, declined.
– Minivehicle sales decreased year-on-year due to a decline in the Pleo and Samber sales.
< Exports >
– Exports from Japan increased year-on-year, due to increased shipments of the Impreza and XV to North America as well as higher demand for the Outback in Europe and Australia.
