Subaru has reaffirmed plans to launch a new three-row crossover model, which will replace the discontinued Tribeca.
Speaking to Cars.com at a media gathering, Subaru communications manager Dominick Infante promised the company is “not giving up” on the idea. Engineers and designers are said to be “actively working on a next-generation three-row.”
Additional details remain unclear, though the company is likely attempting to create an offering that is substantially different from the poor-selling Tribeca.
Infante suggested the final form has not been determined, as the company faces a choice between building an upsized Outback or embracing a sportier aesthetic. Previous rumors suggest the VIZIV 2 concept may represent the latter route, potentially with the first plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain to be offered in the US market.
Whatever form Subaru chooses, the new model may arrive sometime in 2016 or 2017.
