Suzuki reports record global production and sales for February 2026

Global production

Global sales

293,428 units (+1.3%)

What Happened

Suzuki Motor Corporation reported record-high global production of 320,617 units in February 2026, up 12.3% year-on-year, driven by record overseas production of 240,154 units (up 17.6%). Global sales also hit a record of 293,428 units, up 1.3%, with overseas sales reaching 229,730 units (up 3.4%). India was a key contributor, with production of 223,441 units and sales of 164,130 units, both record highs for February.

In contrast, Japan production fell 1.1% to 80,463 units, declining for the fifth consecutive month, as domestic sales dropped 5.7% to 63,698 units, hurt by a 11.4% slump in minivehicle sales. Japan's standard and small vehicle sales rose 17.6% to a record 15,555 units, but that was not enough to offset the overall decline. Exports from Japan fell 11.0% to 16,822 units, the first drop in two months.

Why this matters
