Subaru says the VIZIV – which stands for “Vision for Innovation” – is the latest in a concept series that embodies the company’s vision of car development for “enjoyment and peace of mind.”

“The concept expresses our core brand values, safety, dependability, capability for outdoor activities and a forward looking attitude,” said Takeshi Tachimori, Fuji Heavy Industries’ (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles) Corporate Executive Vice President.

“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.”
