Subaru of America, Inc. today reported 57,044 vehicle sales for September 2018, a 3.5 percent increase over September 2017. The company also reported year-to-date sales of 503,418 vehicles, a 5.1 percent gain over the same period in 2017.

September marked the 55th consecutive month of 40,000+ vehicle sales for the company. Forester sales for September 2018 increased 1.4 percent over the same month in 2017. In addition, 5,859 of the all-new 3-row Ascent SUVs were delivered in September.

"Subaru of America is particularly proud of the all-new 2019 Ascent SUV earning the highest possible rating for front crash prevention from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)," said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. "This is a testament to the safety and technology advantage provided by the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. It's no surprise people are flocking to the new Ascent with its winning combination of size, safety and versatility."

"The all-new 2019 Forester is just arriving at our retailers and is better in almost every way," said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. "Along with the Ascent, Crosstrek, and Outback, these SUVs will carry our record sales pace into the final quarter of this year."
