"As we head into the final month of the year, we are thankful for our retailers, whose sales efficiency is absolutely unparalleled. Like other automakers, our vehicle production has been impacted by the global semi-conductor chip shortage, but our top priority is meeting the demand for Subaru vehicles," said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. "This December, car-buyers can also do good while shopping for a vehicle through our annual Subaru Share the Love Event. From November 18, 2021, through January 3, 2022, with every new Subaru purchased or leased at one of more than 600 participating Subaru retailers nationwide, Subaru will donate $250 to the customer's choice of charities."

In November, Outback was the top performer by volume with 10,454 vehicle sales. Impreza sales for November 2021 increased 36 percent, while BRZ sales increased 292 percent over the same month in 2020. Year-to-date (YTD), Outback leads by volume with total sales of 141,980 vehicles. When compared with the same period in 2020, Outback posted a nearly four (4) percent increase YTD, while Crosstrek and WRX/STI carlines posted YTD increases of 13 percent and 31 percent, respectively.

"Alongside our retailers, we're working hard to get vehicles to consumers amid the ongoing production shortage as the demand for Subaru remains high," said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. "We know that in 2022, our all-new electric vehicle, the 2023 Subaru Solterra, will be top of mind for car-buyers looking to power their adventures with an all-electric SUV complete with signature Subaru quality, safety and reliability."
