Subaru Australia says it sales of 3,451 vehicles in April were well ahead of automotive market trends, with annual sales up 47.7% year-to-date (YTD) versus an industry increase of 30.7%, according to VFACTS.
The Forester was Subaru’s biggest seller for the month with a tally of 1327 units, up 39.4% YTD – also a best-ever April tally.
Subaru Australia says the new generation Outback was also yet again a significant contributor, with 1,041 sales making it the second best-selling car in the SUV Large < $70k category.
Sales of the Outback were up 154.4% YTD, making it the best April result yet for the model.
Not to be outdone, Subaru’s performance stable also contributed strongly says the Australian distributor.
Sales of the WRX (146 units) were up 47.0% YTD and the 42 sales of BRZ were up 46.8% as the current generation car enters its twilight age.
“It’s gratifying that the variety in our range, from SUVs to performance and sports cars, is showing strong growth after the challenges of last year,” Subaru Australia general manager Blair Read says.
“We continue to be delighted by the reception for new generation Outback, its combination of all-round All-Wheel Drive capability, advanced safety and revised design is proving a success with new and returning customers,” he says.
