The Subaru WRX is Seeing a Huge Spike in Sales. Here’s Why

The Subaru WRX is enjoying a major sales rebound in the U.S. just as the model seemed to be losing momentum, thanks to a repositioned lineup, the return of a more affordable entry point and another critical factor.

Subaru sold 1,233 WRXs in the United States in June. While that figure looks small next to the 16,288 Foresters and moved in the same month, it marks a massive 252.3 percent jump (nearly a fourfold increase) over the 350 WRXs sold in June a year earlier. Through the first half of the year, sales of the sports sedan climbed 10.5 percent, rising from 6,431 to 7,108 cars.
