< Production >
| － | Domestic production decreased year-on-year, due mainly to changes in plant operation schedules. |

< Sales in Japan >
| － | Passenger vehicle sales increased year-on-year, led by the fully-redesigned Forester launched in July 2018 as well as increased sales of the Subaru XV driven by strong demand for the “e-Boxer”-equipped models. (e-Boxer: Subaru’s newly-developed power unit system that combines a 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed, direct injection Subaru Boxer engine with an electric motor.) |
| － | Mini vehicle sales decreased year-on-year due to decreased sales of the Chiffon and other models. |
< Exports >
| － | Exports from Japan decreased year-on-year due to a decrease in domestic production. |
