The Subaru BRZ Is Having A Really Crappy Year, April
Sales Sink 65%
Americans seems to have fallen out of love with the BRZ, sales of
which are languishing in 2024

- Sales of the Subaru BRZ are down 37 percent this year,
and April was the car’s worst month yet.
- Americans purchased just 178 BRZs last month, 65
percent fewer than they did in April 2023.
- Brand-wide sales are up 7.4 percent so far in 2024,
thanks to vehicles like the Outback and the Forester.
The Subaru BRZ is an affordable sports car that punches well above
its weight in terms of fun, outperforming expectations for its
price tag. However, that fun factor hasn’t translated into strong
sales figures so far this year. The coupe saw its worst performance
yet in April, with Americans only buying 178 examples of the
flat-four powered model.
It’s not exactly surprising to see
the BRZ selling in
small numbers, since it’s an impractical car for people who value
fun over the comfort of their third and fourth-best friends, but
last month its sales dropped by a whopping 64.9 percent.

April was a brutal month for the BRZ, marking both its lowest sales
volume and worst relative performance of 2024 so far. While sales
have struggled throughout the year, the first quarter decline was a
softer 22.2%. However, April’s particularly weak showing has
significantly dragged down year-to-date sales, which now stand at a
hefty 36.7% drop compared to the previous year.
In contrast, its sister model from Toyota, the GR 86, managed to
maintain stable sales during the first quarter of 2024, with a
total of 2,041 units sold (+0.1%) compared to 2,038 during the same
period in 2023. We’ll have to wait and see how it performed in
April, as Toyota has not yet released these figures.

Brand-wide, Subaru’s
sales were up 9.5
percent in April, driven by strong performances from the Crosstrek
and the Forester, deliveries of which were up 17.6 percent and 85
percent, respectively.
The Legacy’s sales are down 19.5 percent so far this year, and
Subaru has
decided to discontinue the model, in order to focus on SUVs.
And, based solely on the sales charts, that looks like a smart
move.
So far this year, the Forester is the fastest-growing model (+65.8
percent), and the third-strongest seller (40,059) in the
Subaru lineup, behind
the Outback (48,344) and the Crosstrek (51,872). In the first four
months of the year, Subaru’s cumulative sales are up 7.4
percent.
“As new models make their way to our retailers, we are confident
that customers will be able to find Subaru vehicles like the
Forester,” said Troy Poston, Subaru of America’s senior VP of
sales. “Car buyers are seeing Subaru’s growing model lineup become
one of the strongest in our history, and we look forward to
offering them the value, reliability, and longevity that our brand
is known for.”
