In November, Subaru of America increased its car sales in the United States for the 16th consecutive month to 53,327 (up 6.4% year-over-year). So far this year, the company sold 574,322 cars, which is almost 15% more than a year ago.
Meanwhile, last month, sales of the all-electric Subaru Solterra amounted to 943, which is ten times more than a year ago, when the first 94 units were delivered. The share of the Solterra out of Subaru‘s total volume was 1.8%.
It seems that for now, the Subaru Solterra sales oscillate at around 1,000 units a month, which is comparable with the Toyota bZ4X’s sales volume.
