Mazda's domestic production and global sales in the first half of the current fiscal year exceeded the year-earlier period, driven by strong performance from the new CX-5. Domestic production reached 366,954 vehicles, while global sales also remained above the year-earlier level.
Mazda announced that both domestic production and global sales in the first half of the current fiscal year exceeded the year-earlier period. It attributed the overall performance in particular to strong sales of the new CX-5.
Domestic production totaled 366,954 vehicles in the first half, and global sales also showed similar strength. As a result, the company's first-half results are expected to exceed those of the previous year.
The contribution of new models, including the CX-5, was significant, and Mazda is believed to have benefited from this in moving into the black ahead of its interim results. Going forward, attention will focus on additional CX-5 orders and the maintenance and expansion of its production capacity.
