In the United States, Subaru of America saw an 18th consecutive monthly increase in car sales in January, with a minor rise of 0.3% year-over-year, delivering 44,510 cars.
However, the sales of Subaru’s all-electric cars were disappointing, which could be attributed to the model changeover from the 2023MY to the 2024MY.

10,000 Subaru Solterra in the U.S.
The cumulative sales of the Subaru Solterra in the United States recently exceeded 10,000 units. In February, the model will get an updated 2024 model year version, which might boost sales.
Last month, sales of the Subaru Solterra amounted to just 379 cars, down 24% year-over-year, accounting for less than 1% of the brand’s total volume.
It’s too early to draw conclusions about the supply and demand relationship, as we will have to wait for the volume deliveries of the 2024 Subaru Solterra, expected to arrive at Subaru dealers in February.
Subaru BEV sales last month (YOY change):
- Solterra: 379 (down 24%) and 0.9% share
For reference, in 2023, Subaru sold 8,872 Solterra, accounting for about 1.4% of Subaru’s total sales.
Subaru BEV sales in 2023 (YOY change):
- Solterra: 8,872 (up 865%) and 1.4% share
It’s worth noting the sales of the Toyota bZ4X (9,329) and Lexus RZ 450e (5,386) in 2023, which are all based on the same platform as the Subaru Solterra. The total amounted to 23,587 units sold.
The new 2024 Subaru Solterra will cost almost the same, but will DC charge faster and offer more standard equipment than the 2023MY version.
