The new SUV will arrive as a larger vehicle that the Tribeca and offer "full third-row capability," according to a Subaru release. The vehicle will bring to four the number of Subaru nameplates built in the U.S., along with the Legacy, Outback, and Impreza, including a new five-door model of that compact sedan beginning production in 2016.

Subaru expects to sell more than 550,000 vehicles in 2015, marking a tripling of sales since 2007.
