History

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Subaru Ascent page on 30 January 2019, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

The Subaru Ascent is a mid-size crossover SUV made by Subaru. It is the largest automobile Subaru manufactures. The seven or eight-seat passenger SUV, with the design based on the VIZIV-7 concept, made its debut at the LA Auto Show on November 28, 2017. The Ascent became available in the third quarter of 2018.

The Ascent was originally introduced as a concept car at the 2017 New York International Auto Show in April, where it was also announced that Subaru would be producing the vehicle at its Lafayette, Indiana Subaru of Indiana Assembly Plant. Production is scheduled to begin in early 2018 alongside the current Subaru Impreza. It will be the flagship Subaru vehicle in North America, and will replace the Subaru Tribeca (previously the B9 Tribeca), which was discontinued after the 2014 model year.

The first spy photographs of Subaru Ascent development mules surfaced in late summer 2016. Although the Ascent was again spotted testing in 2017 with an expected mid-2017 on-market date, the current expected on-sale date is early summer 2018.
