TOKYO: Subaru’s Exiga Crossover 7, first revealed as a thinly-veiled concept at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, has made its market debut in Japan.
Debuting with styling largely identical to its ‘concept’ forebear, the Exiga Crossover 7 enters as a big new seven-seat companion to the new Outback.
Importantly for Subaru, the Crossover 7’s launch returns the brand to the seven-seat SUV market it vacated when the troubled Tribeca was retired in 2013.
A new Tribeca is known to be in the works, but with the company reportedly undecided on its styling, it appears clear that an all-new model is still sometime away.
Until then, Subaru will look to the Crossover 7, a jacked-up version of its existing Exiga wagon, to fill that space.
