Subaru attributes the increase in sales to the
popularity of the new XV model and the Everything Taken Care Of
aftersales package.
Of all Subarus sold in February, approximately
one-fifth were sold through finance, “marginally up on last year”,
according to a company spokeswoman.
With the XV featuring “highly” in the increase
in sales, particularly to the customer demographic which Subaru
identifies as purchasing through finance packages, the company
expects finance partner Black Horse to see an increase in business
throughout the year.
Subaru also saw a 23.76% rise in new sales for
January, year-on-year, selling 224 vehicles and the good start to
the year for the carmaker will be a tonic following 2011’s fall in
new registrations by 32.41%.
