Sales of imported foreign-brand vehicles in November rose 21.5 percent from a year before to 23,982 units, growing for the 19th straight month, the Japan Automobile Importers Association said Thursday.
Sales of fuel-efficient compact cars and luxury vehicles of over ¥10 million were strong.
In January-November, imported vehicles accounted for 8.3 percent of cumulative overall new vehicle sales, excluding minivehicles. As a result, the proportion of imported vehicles in 2013 is expected to top the record 7.7 percent marked in 2011. In November, Volkswagen was the top-selling foreign brand for the second consecutive month, with sales increasing 41.8 percent to 6,499 units, followed by Mercedes-Benz with 4,393 units, up 41.9 percent, and BMW with 3,850 units, up 14 percent.
