MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 3, 2020 /CNW/ - The 2020 Crosstrek and newly redesigned 2020 Outback led the way as Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI), sets its best ever January sales record with 3,322 units sold.

Subaru's January sales result follows last month's best ever December. The January sales total, a 5.7 per cent increase compared to the same month last year, represents the best January ever for SCI, as the brand continues to carry strong momentum, kicking off the year.

"Subaru is positioned for a great 2020," said SCI president, chairman and CEO Yasushi Enami. "Our award-winning lineup and dedicated dealer network fuel our success, putting more and more Canadians in the driver's seat of our vehicles."

The star of the month was the all-new Outback, which achieved its best ever January in history with 679 units sold. Compared to the same period last year, Outback sales resulted in a massive 36.1 per cent sales increase. This coming off the news that Outback was awarded Best Mid-Size Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2020 from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) earlier in the month. Crosstrek also had a very strong January, leading sales with 1,024 units sold, a 26.4 per cent increase over January 2019.

Regionally, Atlantic, Ontario and Quebec achieved their best ever January sales.
