Band 9: The graph shows data on the manufacture of passenger cars in 2015. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie chart illustrates the percentage of world passenger car production in the year 2015. Overall, it is clear that the data is divided into seven regions, with Greater China producing the most passenger vehicles, while South Asia, South America, and Africa accounted for the least production.

In 2015, Greater China was the leading automobile producer, contributing 26% of the total production. Following closely was Europe, which produced 25% of the world’s cars. North America manufactured 19% of passenger vehicles, while Japan and Korea had similar production levels at 16% and 19%, respectively. Importantly, Japan and Korea produced twice as many vehicles as South Asia, which only represented 8% of the total production that year.

Africa had the lowest automobile production compared to other regions, accounting for just 2% of the total. The remaining regions, including South Asia, South America, and the Middle East, together represented less than one-fifth of global production.
