Over the last decade the Japanese brand has seen market share lost to brands like Hyundai and Kia, with the former taking a substantial number of WRX buyers with cars like the i30 N.

Impreza sales have suffered from a swing away from small cars, and the Liberty has been discontinued.

While the Outback remains a strong seller, Subaru lacks a three-row SUV following the discontinuation of the Tribeca. The Atlas offered in North America remains off the table as it’s left-hand drive-only.
