Subaru Ascent SUV Concept Gallery

Subaru is telegraphing its 7-seat SUV plans with this, the Ascent SUV Concept. Close to what we can expect from the production car that's expected to arrive in 2018, the big three-row car will sit above the Outback for those needing more space for either people or cargo. Aesthetically less challenging than the previous Visiv-7 concept, it's unlikely to be far from what the production car will offer.

That means a handsome exterior and spacious interior, with all-wheel drive as standard. Subaru is promising a new engine, too, a turbocharged boxer with direct injection.
