Subaru sold 1.01 million vehicles worldwide in 2018
- Subaru sold 1.01 million vehicles (passenger cars + light commercial vehicles) in 2018, a 5% decrease from 2017. The seventh Japanese manufacturer remains in 20th position worldwide, behind the Chinese OEMs BAIC, Great Wall and Dongfeng, but ahead of MG-Roeweand Chery.
- Subaru was created by Fuji Heavy Industries, itself a spin-off of the aeronautics company Nakajima Aircraft, which manufactured combat aircraft during the Second World War. Currently, the Toyota group holds 16.5% of Subaru's capital, a share that is too small to allow consolidation with the leading Japanese manufacturer.

1. The United States is by far its largest market, with 680,000 vehicles, or 67% of its worldwide sales.
2. Japan is its second largest market, with 150,000 vehicles, or 15% of its worldwide sales.
3. Europe is its third largest market, with 33,000 vehicles, or 3% of its worldwide sales.
- These three markets accounted for 85% of Subaru's worldwide sales in 2018.
