Subarus News 3 Row 7 Passenger Suv...
9 years ago
Subaru will launch a new 3-Row crossover for U.S. buyers in 2018. What will the Japanese automaker call the new 7-seat SUV? Subaru of Indiana, Automotive (SIA) will be building the new Subaru 3-Row crossover in 2018 along with the new 2017 Subaru Impreza. Both will be built at the plant in Indiana, and both will ride on Subaru’s new Global Platform. What will Subaru call the new 7-passenger SUV?
It’s rumored to be called the Subaru Ascent 7. Four names have been filed by Subaru with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office recently. The four names are Ascent 7, Sojourn, Venterra and Cypress. Any of these could be the new name for Subaru’s 3-row crossover that will be built in Indiana starting in 2018.
For American buyers only
The new Subaru 3-Row crossover is replacing the retired Tribeca. It will only be available for buyers in North America. It will ride on Subaru’s new Global Platform. This will benefit 3-Row crossover buyers by keeping production costs down and will ultimately translate to keeping the purchase price down. The new architecture will also allow for a roomier interior without making the outside dimensions larger.
Subaru has high expectations that the new 7-seat SUV will be widely accepted like the Outback, Forester and Crosstrek. This will be the first new U.S. AWD vehicle from Subaru since they launched the Crosstrek crossover in 2012.

Hate to say this, but Subaru made this same mistake with the Tribeca. It used the same platform of the Outback/Forrester, had similar options and cost almost twice as much as an Outback. Result? It was a huge flop in America. Since the Global platform is going to be used on the next generation Outback/ Forrester, I see Deja Vu all over again. When will Subaru get it? You do not need a large crossover! I know that it's the dealers that are putting the pressure on Subaru to have one to compete against the Toyota Highlander, but the only way it will work is to keep the price down. Sadly, it won't happen just like before.

I sure hope it's underpowered, too big, and has a CVT!
