Subaru Australia Managing Director Colin Christie said: “Subaru’s growth is reflected in showroom traffic and the level of interest in our Subaru ‘do’ customer-focused activities, which continue to expand brand appeal among newcomers who may not have previously considered our range.
“Combined with the popularity of our new generation cars, Impreza and XV, we are resonating with buyers who perceive the value, integrity, practicality and fun of our vehicles.”
