Japan: Sales volume totaled 10,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 43% or 8,000 units.

Asia: Although sales of the Pajero Sport in Indonesia shifted upward; together with increases in sales volume of the Mirage and Attrage in both Thailand and the Philippines contributed to the increase, sales volume in China decreased as the number of vehicles in MMC lineup applicable for the government subsidy for small cars (in effect from October 2015) were limited.
