MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - The temperatures may be falling but Subaru sales heated up in the month of October, with the brand setting a best ever October sales record with 5,641 units sold.
The sales total, a 2.6 per cent increase compared to the same month last year, represents the best October ever for Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) as the brand's strong sales momentum continues.
"I'm very happy to see Canadians make the switch to Subaru products – a logical choice as the cold weather approaches" said SCI president, chairman and CEO Yasushi Enami.
It was a strong showing for our small vehicles, with the Impreza and Crosstrek both outpacing the previous October by 25.0 per cent and 43.6 per cent, respectively, while the all new Outback saw an 8.6% increase compared to last year.
Regionally, Quebec and Ontario performed well, with both posting their best ever October sales.
