Who Owns Subaru?
The Subaru Corporation began as Fuji Heavy Industry, which built multiple kinds of machines, from military and airplane parts to cars and trains. While the company still builds aerospace parts today, it eventually began focusing on affordable cars for city driving. With popular innovations like Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the company soon needed to open a manufacturing plant to keep up with demand in the United States.
Where Do Subaru Cars Come From?
After two decades of success on the American market, the Subaru Corporation opened its first plant outside Japan. Opened in Lafayette, IN, in 1989, the Subaru of Indiana Automotive Plant builds Subaru vehicles for drivers across the country. In addition to upholding the highest manufacturing standards, this plant leads the way in green manufacturing and was the first US automotive plant to be certified as a zero-landfill factory.
What Subaru Cars Are Built in America?
The Subaru Crosstrek and Subaru Outback, two rugged, adventurous SUVs, along with the Subaru Legacy, are all produced at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive Plant. It also produces the Subaru Ascent, the biggest Subaru vehicle produced in America, with seating for up to eight passengers in three rows and a massive amount of cargo space.
