Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc.

“The final quarter of the year is our busiest when it comes to giving back through our Subaru Love Promise initiatives. From Subaru Loves Pets™ Month in October and National Make A Dogs Day on October 22 to the 2022 Subaru Share the Love® Event kicking off in November, our retailers are with us every step of the way showcasing that Subaru is More Than a Car Company.”

In September, Crosstrek was the top performer by volume and achieved its best month ever, with 16,092 (surpassing record set in August 2019 with 15,860) sales and a 35.6 percent increase compared with the same period in 2021.

Year to date, the Crosstrek posted a 14.2 percent increase, while the Ascent SUV posted an increase of 6.9 percent compared to the same period in 2021.

“The Subaru Crosstrek had its best-ever month, pointing to car buyer preference for vehicles that are as safe as they are fun to drive,” said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. “As supply chain challenges continue to affect the automotive industry, we are focused on meeting the high demand for Subaru vehicles and delivering a great experience to our customers.”
