The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Subaru Impreza achieved an all-time sales record of 1568 in June, according to official VFACTS figures released today.

Subaru retailed 3757 vehicles in June.

The Impreza figure was up 52.1 per cent on June 2008 and places the model 9.5 per cent up year-to-date (YTD).

Forester sales of 1506 maintained its status as Australia’s best-selling Sports Utility Vehicle across all categories YTD, with sales up 9.3 per cent.

Subaru’s market share for the year is 4.2 per cent, and 3.7 per cent for the month.

The Subaru result was rounded out by sales of 362 Libertys (Legacys) and 241 Outbacks, both of which are in short-supply as the model’s run-out continues pending the launch of new generation cars by early September. Tribeca sold 80, with demand for premium variants outstripping supply in the short term.
