Subaru’s Gas-Powered WRX Outsold All Three of Its EVs Combined in October — 1,707 to 843

Subaru of America sold 1,707 WRX sedans in October 2026 — and just 843 electric vehicles across all three of its EV nameplates combined. The gas-powered performance sedan outsold the Solterra, Trailseeker and Uncharted put together by 864 units, according to Subaru’s October sales release.

The WRX grew 137.1 percent from 720 units in October 2025 and is up 55 percent year to date. The electric side went the other way: the Solterra sold 146 units, down 86.7 percent from 1,100 a year earlier, while the newer Trailseeker managed 396 and the Uncharted 301. Subaru’s total US volume rose 6 percent to 54,090 vehicles in the month.

The rest of the lineup did the heavy lifting. The Crosstrek took the top-seller spot with 16,574 vehicles, up 1.8 percent, and the Forester sold 16,094, up 26 percent — both their best-ever Octobers — with the Forester up 18.4 percent year to date. The Outback held third at 13,711, up 2 percent, and the BRZ rose 30.2 percent for the month.

The contrast is the story. Subaru’s buyers are voting with their wallets for affordable gas performance and proven crossovers, while its electric lineup — launched into a US market where EV share has settled near 6 percent after the tax credits expired — is barely moving. The WRX, a car the industry keeps predicting will die, just had its best October in years.
