Forester sales resulted in a 33.5 per cent jump at 833 units sold, while Outback finished the month with 718 units sold, up 15.6 percent from last February. All three models set best- ever February records.

This performance comes after SCI announced that eight Subaru models earned 2020 TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
