What Subaru models are built in the USA?
Subaru currently builds three models in the United States at its Lafayette, Indiana factory: the Outback, Legacy, and Ascent.
Understanding Subaru's production footprint involves noting where the brand's vehicles are assembled for the North American market. Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) in Lafayette is the sole U.S. assembly plant, where the three models listed above are produced for U.S. and Canadian buyers. Other Subaru models sold in the United States are largely produced overseas and imported, primarily from plants in Japan and other facilities.

Subarus are made in six factories around the world, four of which are in Japan: Subaru-chΕ, building the Impreza, WRX, BRZ, and Crosstrek, as part of an 82-acre facility in Ota, Gunma Prefecture, Japan.
Why is Subaru discontinuing the Outback?
It's because the lifted models like outback and crosstreks qualify as light trucks and are subject to less stringent fuel efficiency regulations.
Is there any vehicle 100% made in America?
No car sold in the U.S. is entirely made in America using only parts made in America. Not one single vehicle. Many vehicles from American companies, like Ford, Chevy, and Stellantis (which owns brands like Jeep and Ram), are assembled in Canada and Mexico.
