Japan: decline in new car sales in October 2026

On November 2, 2026, the Japanese dealers association publishes new car registration figures for October. Sales decline for the first time in seven months, penalized by weakness in mini-vehicles known as kei cars. On November 4, Daihatsu records a roughly 20% drop in its sales, demand for the new Move having run out of steam, while Toyota also declines, a first in seven years. On November 6, model rankings are published: the Yaris leads sedans and the N-BOX leads kei cars, with Jimny and Land Cruiser in the top 10.
