Subaru Hits All-Time Sales Record As Solterra Soars 159%

  • Subaru had its best month ever as the company sold 71,478 vehicles last month.
  • That topped the previous record of 70,039 units, which was set in August of 2019.
  • The Forester was the best-seller last month, but Outback sales soared 29.9%.

The Solterra might as well have been launched as the Subaru Snooze as it was an overpriced electric vehicle with underwhelming specs. However, the company finally addressed that with a $6,500 price cut for 2025.

}
});

Consumers appear to have taken notice as Solterra sales jumped 158.7% in March. However, they’re still nothing to get excited about as the company only moved 1,154 units in the United States last month.

Putting the EV aside, Subaru’s best-selling vehicle was unsurprisingly the Forester. The recently redesigned crossover saw sales climb 7.3% to 22,570.

It was followed by the Crosstrek, which had its best March ever as consumers snapped up 18,169 units for a 25.1% increase. The aging Outback also continues to defy expectations as the all-wheel drive wagon was embraced by 17,539 shoppers.

Interestingly, death hasn’t slowed down the Legacy as sales jumped 53.2%. That’s going out on a high note as production is slated to end this spring.

The only losers last month were the ageing Accent and WRX. The crossover fell 11.4% to 4,584 units, while the 271 hp (202 kW / 275 PS) sedan was down 16.2% at 1,539 units.

We’d also be remiss if we didn’t mention the BRZ. Sales jumped 22.3%, but that only resulted in 334 units finding a home. That’s a shame as affordable sports cars should be celebrated.
