In 2022, Subaru sold 36,036 vehicles in Australia.
Below you will see a visualisation of how those sales compare to a decade ago in 2012.
In 2012 Subaru sold 40,189 vehicles in Australia.
Below is a graphical representation of the top manufacturers sales over the last 25 years (1997 to 2022), inclusive of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and both light and heavy commercial vehicles. This graph is interactive and you can pick to compare any number of manufacturers.
Over the last decade the Japanese brand has seen market share lost to brands like Hyundai and Kia, with the former taking a substantial number of WRX buyers with cars like the i30 N.
Impreza sales have suffered from a swing away from small cars, and the Liberty has been discontinued.
While the Outback remains a strong seller, Subaru lacks a three-row SUV following the discontinuation of the Tribeca. The Atlas offered in North America remains off the table as it’s left-hand drive-only.
| Models | 2012 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Subaru BRZ | 200 | 1,165 |
| Subaru Forester | 11,533 | 10,637 |
| Subaru Impreza | 8,407 | 3,013 |
