Subaru of America, Inc. today reported 33,045 vehicle sales for November 2021, a 35 percent decrease compared with November 2020 (50,413) as Subaru continues to face supply chain shortages.

In November, Outback was the top performer by volume with 10,454 vehicle sales.

Year-to-date (YTD), Outback leads by volume with total sales of 141,980 vehicles.

'Alongside our retailers, we're working hard to get vehicles to consumers amid the ongoing production shortage as the demand for Subaru remains high,' said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. 'We know that in 2022, our all-new electric vehicle, the 2023 Subaru Solterra, will be top of mind for car-buyers looking to power their adventures with an all-electric SUV complete with signature Subaru quality, safety and reliability.'
Moving into the final month of the year, the Subaru Share the Love® Event will run through January 3, 2022. Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer's choice of the following national charities: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®), Make-A-Wish®, Meals on Wheels America and National Park Foundation or a hometown charity selected by participating Subaru retailers. In the program's 14th consecutive year, Subaru and participating retailers hope to exceed a grand total of $225 million donated to charities since the Subaru Share the Love Event started in 2008.
