Subaru VIZIV-7 SUV concept debuts at Los Angeles Auto Show

Subaru has unveiled the Subaru VIZIV-7 SUV concept at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The company says the VIZIV (the name is derived from Vision for Innovation) is a concept series embodying the future vision of car development for ‘enjoyment and peace of mind’ that Subaru wants to provide to customers.

With the VIZIV-7 SUV concept, Subaru aims to reveal about how big a future Subaru SUV can be. At 5200mm long, 2030mm wide, 1860mm tall and a wheelbase of 2990mm, the concept SUV is a biggie.

 “The concept expresses our core brand values, safety, dependability, capability for outdoor activities and a forward looking attitude,” said Takeshi Tachimori, corporate executive vice-president for Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles. “We know customers in this segment want a full-sized vehicle and the next three-row from Subaru will be the biggest Subaru vehicle ever.”

With full three-row capability, the VIZIV-7 SUV concept shows the size direction of the all-new three-row midsize SUV to be introduced to North American market in early 2018.
