The Crosstrek and Outback led the way, and with strong performances throughout the entire Subaru lineup, said the OEM.
Subaru’s March sales performance marks a 94.3 percent increase compared to the same month last year and represents Subaru Canada’s best March on record as the brand hopes to continue its strong sales momentum.
“Subaru remains focused on providing Canadians with compelling new products,” explained Subuaru Canada chairman, president and CEO, Yasushi Enami. “With the recent announcement of the new 2022 Outback Wilderness and our award-winning combination of safety and core technologies, we look forward to continuing our sales success this year.”
Leading the way, the refreshed Crosstrek achieved a record March selling 2,166 units, which represents a massive 196.3 percent surge over the same month last year.

This performance comes after Subaru Canada announced the new 2022 Outback Wilderness: the most rugged and capable Subaru yet. This SUV alternative combines car-like drivability and handling with a new level of ruggedness, designed to provide even more capability while not sacrificing the balance of comfort on everyday roads. Outback Wilderness takes the legendary model to new heights, focusing on a more adventurous lifestyle – giving the ability to travel further and higher than ever before.

With this year’s acknowledgement, Subaru has now won Most Trusted Brand for seven consecutive years, in addition to its second consecutive and fourth time for Best Overall Brand award and five total Best Performance Brand awards.
Regionally, Subaru had support from all Canadian areas as the Atlantic, Ontario, Quebec and Western provinces each achieved their best ever March on record.
