MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - The newly redesigned 2019 Forester led the way for Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) to start the year, with the brand's quintessential sport utility posting its best January sales ever.

Behind that record-setting January for Forester, which saw its sales increase 14.9% compared to the same month last year, SCI sold 3,143 vehicles for the month — just 78 units shy of the all-time January record set in 2018. Both Impreza and BRZ also outpaced the previous January.
