The 3-row SUV offers the utility today's customers are seeking and fills a void that had been missing from our line-up for many years.'

'In June, we continued to experience healthy demand thanks in part to Subaru's combination of value, safety, functionality, and reliability built into all of our vehicles,' said Jeff Walters, Senior President of Sales. 'In an increasingly competitive marketplace, we are excited to continue delivering strong results and another month of sales increases.'
