Subaru Australia has slashed the prices on the new Subaru Liberty and Outback. Depending on model Australian buyers can now save up to 25% or $14,000 over the outgoing model.
Subaru also claim that specification levels across the range have been boosted including EyeSight® driver assist system in every Liberty, which helps delivery its five-star rating and the highest points tally yet by Subaru models: 35.99 out of a maximum possible 37.
Speaking to CarShowroom.com.au Subaru Australia Managing Director, Nick Senior, said there had been a few factors that prompted the shift: “Most notably the exchange rate, the Japanese Free Trade Agreement and more efficient manufacturing, driving reduced costs.
“Currency is always going to have the biggest impact on imported goods. It is clear that the Yen Australian dollar equation has moved into a more favourable range for us.
“We have factored in the Free Trade Agreement, because we know it will be legislated in the near future. Therefore, it is prudent to act now.
“Also, the Europeans have moved into more mainstream segments and we too have changed strategy with Liberty in particular - making the price versus specification ratio more attractive than ever before.
“Finally, there are obvious benefits from all of FHI’s efforts to constantly improve manufacturing efficiency, leading to reduced costs.
“So, there is a combination of factors that ultimately led to this important pricing statement by us.
“And this will lead to growth in prospect and customer interest in our brand and our products, thanks to our strategic All 4 the Driver initiatives from customer service, engineering and durability to value.”
