Subaru of America Reports Strong December Sales and Year-End Performance
Subaru of America, Inc. witnessed a notable increase in vehicle sales during December 2022, with a reported 56,760 vehicle sales. This marks an 11 percent rise compared to December 2021, indicating a positive trend despite ongoing industry challenges.
The year 2022 ended with Subaru achieving a total of 556,581 vehicle sales. Although this represents a 4.7 percent decrease from the previous year, the results are largely influenced by the semiconductor shortage and broader supply chain disruptions affecting the automobile industry.
The Crosstrek emerged as the top-selling model for Subaru in 2022, recording its best sales year with 155,142 units sold. The Outback and Forester models followed with significant sales figures, while the Ascent saw a 6.2 percent increase in sales compared to 2021. The performance segment, including the WRX and BRZ models, also showed robust sales, with the BRZ experiencing a 44.2 percent increase from the previous year.
Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales, expressed optimism for 2023, citing a strong finish in 2022 and anticipation for upcoming vehicle launches, including the all-new Impreza.
Subaru’s Charitable Contributions
In December, Subaru continued its tradition of giving through the Subaru Share the Love Event. This initiative involves donating $250 for every new vehicle purchased or leased to various national and local charities. Since its inception in 2008, the event has accumulated over $250 million in donations.
Subaru of America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Subaru Corporation of Japan, operates from a zero-landfill office in Camden, N.J. The company is known for its environmental initiatives and its dedication to community support, having donated over $270 million and volunteered nearly 78,000 hours over the past two decades.

- V8fairy Not scared, but I would be reluctant to put my trust in it. The technology is just not quite there yet
- V8fairy Headlights that switch on/off with the ignition - similar to the requirement that Sweden has- lights must run any time the car is on.Definitely knobs and buttons, touchscreens should only be for navigation and phone mirroring and configuration of non essential items like stereo balance/ fade etc>Bagpipes for following too close.A following distance warning system - I'd be happy to see made mandatory. And bagpipes would be a good choice for this, so hard to put up with!ABS probably should be a mandatory requirementI personally would like to have blind spot monitoring, although should absolutely NOT be mandatory. Is there a blind spot monitoring kit that could be rerofitted to a 1980 Cadillac?
- IBx1 A manual transmission
- Bd2 All these inane posts (often referencing Hyundai, Kia) the past week are by "Anal" who has been using my handle, so just ignore them...
- 3-On-The-Tree I was disappointed that when I bought my 2002 Suzuki GSX1300R that the Europeans put a mandatory speed limiter on it from 197mph down to 186mph for the 2002 year U.S models.
