Since 2016, the VIZIV concept cars have previewed styling for upcoming production automobiles, and the hybrid powertrain has been dropped in favor of a conventional gasoline engine and all-wheel-drive.

The name "VIZIV" was derived from the phrase "Vision for Innovation" and was meant to illustrate the Subaru concept of "enjoyment and peace of mind."

The VIZIV-7 is a three-row vehicle intended to show the size and styling of a future Tribeca replacement for the North American market, to debut in 2018.

[20] Press coverage speculated the Adrenaline Concept could preview a future plug-in hybrid production car under either the XV/Crosstrek or Evoltis name.

[21] The 2013 VIZIV featured what Subaru called an "independent-rear-motor-driven symmetrical AWD" system, where a 2.0-litre diesel horizontally-opposed ("Boxer") engine drove the front wheels through the continuously variable transmission (CVT, which Subaru branded "Lineartronic") and provided power generation, and each rear wheel was powered by an independent electric motor.

According to the game's statistics, the VIZIV GT Vision Gran Turismo has a curb weight of 1,380 kg (3,042 lb) with a maximum output of 591 hp (441 kW) and 593 ft⋅lb (804 N⋅m).
