< 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 demand for 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.

- Mini vehicle sales increased year-on-year led by the Stella and Sambar.

< Exports >

- Exports from Japan increased year-on-year due to increased shipments of the Impreza, XV and WRX to North America as well as higher demand for the Outback in Europe and Australia.
