Global sales volume for 1Q/FY2018 increased 21% year-on-year to 292,000 units.
ASEAN sales increased by 28% to 69,000 units, driven by orders for pick-up trucks in Thailand and the strong performance of the new XPANDER MPV launched in Indonesia last fall.
In China, sales rose 50% year-on-year to 36,000 units due to strong demand for the localized Outlander.
Sales in North America increased by 25% year-on-year to 45,000 units. The growth was driven by solid demand for the Outlander PHEV and Eclipse Cross, which were launched in the latter half of 2017.
