U.S. auto sales declined for many manufacturers in March including Ford and General Motors. Subaru, however, saw a 10.4% increase over March 2014. The industry still is on pace to sell about 17 million new cars and trucks this year which will be the most since the Great Recession.
For Subaru, this marks 40 consecutive months of year-over-year growth. Other March milestones include:
- Best March ever for Forester, WRX/STI, Legacy, Outback and XV Crosstrek
- 16.8% increase YTD over 2014
- Legacy 68% increase YTD over 2014
- 20th consecutive months of more than 10,000 Foresters sold
- 13th consecutive months of more than 10,000 Outbacks sold
- 150,000th XV Crosstrek sold
"We have hardworking retailers who have made these record results possible and we have the right products for consumers," said Jeff Walters, senior vice president of sales, Subaru of America Inc.. "The Subaru line-up of vehicles delivers safety, durability and all-wheel drive confidence. It is a winning combination that will continue to drive sales."
