(MISSISSAUGA, ONT.)—Subaru Canada, Inc, (SCI) marked off the final month of summer with an all-time best, led by Crosstrek and Outback. The Japanese automaker marked a record August with 5,853 units retailed, up 10.9 per cent from the same time last year. Year-to-date, Subaru Canada has sold 39,104 units, an increase of 34.4 per cent over the same period in 2020. Q3 2021 sales now sit at 11,892 vehicles, representing an 8.6 per cent increase over the same timeframe in the previous year. Each region within the country was pleased to record its best August to date.

Crosstrek continues to be the best-selling model in the lineup holding an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK (on models with EyeSight and specific headlights) and being named the 2021 Best Small Utility in Canada by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). Outback saw 10.7 per cent growth over August 2020, retailing 1,187 units. New for 2022, the Outback introduced the Wilderness trim, creating the most rugged and capable Subaru to date.
