  • Subaru’s U.S. sales in FY2013 reached an all-time high with 348,400 units, breaking the previous record of 280,100 units established a year ago. The sales were propelled by the growth of major models including the all-new Impreza (up 51.1% to 61,508), the facelifted Legacy and Outback introduced with a new powertrain (up 4.6% to 46,338 and up 11.8% to 118,594, respectively), the Forester (up 10.0% to 80,617) and Subaru WRX (up 17.1% to 15,288) as well as the added volume of the Subaru XV * (18,132 units) and Subaru BRZ (5,932 units) debuted in 2012.
  • In Canada, Subaru sales for FY2013 totaled 31,254 units surpassing the previous best record of 28,067 set two years ago. Strong demand for the all-new Impreza (up 29.4% to 8,165) and the introduction of the Subaru XV * (3,252 units) in the popular small SUV segment contributed to the growth.

<Unit Sales in March 2013>  

  • U.S. March sales hit an all-time monthly high with 36,701 units (up 13.3%) beating the December 2012 record of 36,653 units. The sales rose with high demand for the Forester models driven by the just-launched all-new Forester as well as the added contribution by the Subaru XV*.
  • March sales in Canada were up 11.7% to 3,117 units which broke the previous best record of 3,035 units set in October 2012. The sales were led by the growth of Forester sales boosted by the just-launched all-new Forester and the continued high demand for the Subaru XV* debuted last year.
  • Subaru Australia achieved an all-time monthly sales record in March with 4,219 units (up 5.4%), surpassing the June 2008 record of 4,116 units. The Subaru XV led the sales with 1,567 units, up 56.4% from a year ago.
