Car Features - Top 30 Best Selling Vehicles of Japan for 2016

We all know that Japanese brands dominate the Philippine market and you might be curious what Japanese models are selling well in their home country. Well, we have obtained a list online for 2013 to 2016 and we shall start with the latest one.

2016 saw 4.9 million cars were sold in Japan, this includes 1.7 million Kei cars and 343,000 imported cars (non-Japanese brands), down slightly no thanks to a tax increase for small cars. This list only counts regular models especially that our source doesn't include Keis and imports but these are just the minority.
