Safe and Reliable Vehicles Backed by American Craftsmanship

There's something special about driving a vehicle that's built with care here in the USA. While many Subaru models are still manufactured in Japan, the Subaru Outback, Ascent, Legacy, and select Crosstrek trims are proudly crafted at Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) in Lafayette. Subarus made in the USA uphold SIA's four core values: quality, safety, people, and environment. 
Choosing a Subaru means getting one of the best family-friendly SUVs or cars on the market. Every vehicle that rolls off the production line is a product of meticulous craftsmanship. Subaru enforces a strict zero-defect policy to guarantee you receive a pristine vehicle. Subaru family cars have also earned the reputation of being some of the safest vehicles available. 
Several Subarus made in America, including the Outback and Ascent, have earned the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick award. Most models include features such as standard EyeSight Driver-Assist Technology and Subaru's Symmetrical AWD, so when looking for the best family SUV, it's well worth test-driving a Subaru manufactured in the USA. 

The Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback has earned its reputation as one of the best AWD family vehicles on the road. Its standard Symmetrical AWD promises exceptional handling in all weather conditions, so you'll be in full control whether you're cruising through the Windy City or braving I-94 this winter. You'll appreciate the Outback's generous cargo space and rear seat comfort, with plenty of room for your passengers to stretch out on long car rides as you explore Illinois. 
We recommend the optional water-resistant StarTex upholstery for anyone with kids or pets. It adds superior protection against spills and stains. Test drive a Subaru Outback made in the USA today to see why it's a top choice for parents.

The Subaru Ascent

The Subaru Ascent is the largest Subaru vehicle, with three rows of seating and enough room for up to eight passengers. As another Subaru manufactured in the USA, the Ascent is one of the best family-size SUVs available. It has 153.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, USB ports in every row, and 19 cup holders, so there's plenty of room for sippy cups and bottles. 
The Ascent has the same standard Symmetrical AWD and EyeSight Driver-Assist Technology as the Outback and comes with the added benefit of being able to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The Ascent should be on your list if you want the best family SUV for a weekend road trip. 

The Subaru Legacy

If you prefer to drive something a little smaller, the Legacy is a fantastic Subaru family car that gets up to 35 mpg on the highway and has standard Symmetrical AWD. Pair that with EyeSight Driver Assist, DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation, and blind-spot detection, and the Legacy can handle just about anything the Chicago suburbs throw your way on your commute back and forth to daycare or school. 
Fold-down rear seats and a 15.1-cubic-foot trunk make it the perfect grocery getter, and you'll appreciate how easy it is to park. Visit our dealership in Skokie, Illinois, to find out if the Legacy is the best Subaru for your family.

Subaru's Commitment to Sustainability

SIA is the first U.S. auto plant to achieve zero-landfill status, and every Subaru made in the USA is produced without sending any manufacturing waste to landfills. Instead, SIA recycles, reuses, or repurposes all materials. SIA also embeds clean water efforts and air quality initiatives into all its operations. The National Wildlife Federation has even recognized the facility as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat. 
This dedication to environmental responsibility extends across the entire Subaru brand, which touts several national park partnerships and supports local reforestation projects. Through the Subaru Loves the Earth program, the company has planted over a million trees nationwide. If you want a vehicle that's gentle on the planet, Subaru vehicles made in America are your best option.
