MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 5, 2024 /CNW/ - Subaru Canada, Inc., (SCI) dressed as a record-breaker this Halloween, celebrating the best year-to-date sales for both Crosstrek and Solterra. Solterra also recorded its best-ever October. Year-to-date sales of 57,857 models are 29.5 per cent above the same time last year. YTD the brand is 214 units away from matching its all-time sales record of 58,070 set in 2018.

The Solterra is the brand's first EV SUV with all the safety, dependability, and all-weather capability expected from a Subaru. With 215 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of instant torque coupled with Symmetrical AWD and X-MODE, the Subaru Solterra is ready to get dirty while offering good clean fun.

The Crosstrek continues its popularity as an award-winning model, being crowned back-to-back Best Subcompact SUV by AutoTrader for the 2024 AutoTrader awards. Additionally, the model ranked Best for Residual Value in the Small SUV segment in the J.D. Power 2024 Canada ALG Residual Value Awards, marking the eighth win for Crosstrek in nine years.

"Setting a year-to-date record with Crosstrek and Solterra is an amazing feat," said SCI Chairman, President, and CEO Tomohiro Kubota. "We will capitalize on this momentum moving into the final two months of the year, reaching a new sales milestone for Subaru in Canada."
