“In February, Mother Nature brought us a multitude of challenges; however, we are proud of the ways our dedicated network of retailers, distributors and employees persevered,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO of Subaru of America, Inc. “As we head into Spring, we expect even stronger demand for our award-winning lineup of exceptional products.”
February marked the tenth consecutive month of 40,000+ vehicle sales for the automaker. Crosstrek achieved its best February ever with 10,691 vehicle sales, an increase of 29 percent compared to February 2020.

Also in February, Subaru announced that its 2021 vehicle lineup offers nine TOP SAFETY PICK awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), five TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards and four TOP SAFETY PICK awards. With a total of nine IIHS awards, Subaru is tied for the most awards earned by an individual brand.
“Subaru retailers continue to rise to the challenge and deliver strong results in a difficult marketplace,” said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. “Our vehicles earned significant recognition this month, with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) naming nine Subaru vehicles as TOP SAFETY PICK awards and giving Subaru the distinction of having more IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards than any other brand since 2013.”
