Subaru is Now a Top Global Brand


Interbrand, a global brand consultancy company released their annual list of the 2018 Best Global Brands. With a theme of “Activating Brave,” the 2018 Best Global Brands Report examines the roles a brand strength plays in the “bold transformation of the world’s leading businesses to drive lasting economic value.”

You can check out the full ranking here, but there’s no debating that the highest-ranked automotive company is Toyota at Number 7. The big surprise this year? Subaru, a brand which Interbrand estimates is worth USD 4.214 billion (~ P 227 trillion).

Subaru is recognized for its consistent brand positioning, which embodies the highest levels of safety and functionality, while also instilling a sense of enjoyment that encourages drivers to get the most out of life. This is the first year the automaker has been featured in the report, at Number 100.
