MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 1, 2021 /CNW/ - 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.

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.

The successful month can be attributed to a record August for both Crosstrek and Outback. Crosstrek sales were up 86.5 per cent compared to August 2020, selling 2,568 units. 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.
