Subaru unveils new front-wheel-drive Toyota-based Uncharted EV
Subaru has whipped the wraps off the Uncharted, a Toyota-based all-electric crossover, which will initially be available in front-wheel drive. The Subaru Uncharted shares its e-TNGA platform with the new Toyota CH-R+, but receives Subaru-specific styling and chassis tuning to set it apart from the crossover/SUV it is based on. Significantly, the Uncharted debuts as Subaru's only front-wheel-drive model, with all-wheel-drive variants set to be introduced at a later stage. The FWD-equipped Premium model features a single electric motor that generates 164kW. The AWD GT and Sport variants will produce 544kW from a dual electric-motor setup. Subaru claims the more powerful variants are capable of completing the 0-100km/h sprint in less than five seconds. All trims utilise a 74.7kWh battery pack, which supports 150kW DC fast charging. Plugged into the latter facility, Subaru says the battery is capable of recharging from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes. An 11kW AC onboard charger that can be used to charge at home is also present. The single- and twin electric-motor models offer 480km and 466km of all-electric operating range, respectively, the company says. Inside, the Uncharted plays host to a 14-inch, touch-enabled infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screen mirroring, dual wireless smartphone chargers, and dedicated USB-C ports for rear passengers. Standard safety features include the firm's EyeSight driver assistance technology, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance alert, and a driver-monitoring system. Sport and GT trims receive X‑Mode, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera array, and distinct upholstery options.

2026 Subaru Uncharted EV: 338 HP, 300 Miles Range, Tesla Charging
2026 Subaru Uncharted EV: 338 HP, 300 Miles Range, Tesla Charging | Full Details originally appeared on Autoblog. Subaru Unveils Third Battery-Electric Vehicle While it was slow to enter the EV market, Subaru has tonight introduced its third all-electric model, the 2026 Subaru Uncharted, designed to take you just about anywhere you might imagine wanting to go. Depending upon the trim package a buyer might opt for, the electric SUV can deliver up to 300 miles of range while mustering up as much as 338 horsepower from twin electric motors capable of launching Uncharted from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. It also promises significantly faster charging than Subaru's original Solterra EV. Spring 2026 Launch for Subaru's Third EV The 2026 Subaru Uncharted will roll into U.S. showrooms in Spring 2026, said spokesman Dominick Infante, marking the brand's third battery-electric vehicle. Its first, the Solterra, launched in the 2023 model year. Its subsequent offering, the Subaru Trailseeker, debuted at the New York Auto Show in April and is scheduled to go on sale early next year, as using the same basic architecture as the original Solterra, Uncharted has been shortened by almost 7 inches – though it offers 25 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Underscoring its around-town maneuverability, meanwhile, Subaru noted that the new EV has a turning radius almost identical to the compact, gas-powered Crosstrek. Toyota Partnership Continues with Better Differentiation Like the original Subaru Solterra, Uncharted emerged from Subaru's joint venture with Toyota – the same partnership that produced the virtually identical bZ4X. Both the Solterra and Toyota's now-renamed bZ are receiving significant mid-cycle updates for 2026. The two automakers continued working closely on the new EV, with Toyota set to bring out its version as the C-HR. While it's a 'close collaboration,' said Infante, each automaker focused on design and engineering elements they're best known for. In Subaru's case that included the new EV's Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system. But one of the key goals was to better differentiate the Subaru and Toyota models. The two automakers took heat for the fact that it was visually difficult to tell Solterra and bZ apart, other than their badges. Three Trim Levels with Up to 338 Horsepower Subaru will offer the 2026 Uncharted in three trim packages: Premium FWD, Sport, and GT, with a twin-motor drivetrain 'on most' packages. All will feature a 74.7-kWh, high-capacity lithium-ion battery. The base package, the Premium FWD, 'will be offered in limited numbers,' according to a Subaru press release. Its single, front-mounted motor will turn out 221 horsepower and will deliver an estimated range of 'more than 300 miles' per charge. Sport and GT packages will add a second motor on the rear axle bumping output up to 338 horsepower – though sacrificing some range which Subaru estimates at 290 miles. With a sub-5-second 0-60 mph time, Subaru's new EV will be about a second quicker than Toyota's version, even though both make the same horsepower on paper. Both Uncharted Sport and GT will feature an electric version of the familiar Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive with X-Mode. The latter is a feature designed to more precisely deliver torque where needed in low-speed situations, such as snow and ice or while heading off-road. Tesla Supercharger Access with 30-Minute Fast Charging With the launch of the 2026 Uncharted, Subaru finishes migrating to the Tesla-based NACS – or North American Charging System – port. That will permit it to plug into the increasingly ubiquitous Tesla Supercharger network, with more than 15,000 stations across North America. One of the benefits of the Subaru/Toyota partnership is that both of their new EVs will feature a battery preconditioning system designed to get their battery packs to the optimum temperature when it comes time to plug back in. Subaru claims Uncharted will be able to go from a 10 to 80% state-of-charge in as little as 30 minutes – though that will depend on the amount of current a public DC quick charger can provide. All versions of the Subaru Uncharted will feature a built-in 11 kW charger for accessing a 240-volt home circuit. Expect to stay plugged in overnight. More Distinctive Styling Than Previous Toyota Partnership Subaru's latest EV varies a bit more from its Toyota cousin than the original Solterra/bZ4X did. Uncharted picks up the brand's distinctive front and rear lighting signature, as seen on the new Trailseeker and updated Solterra, including an illuminated front logo. All-wheel-drive models get low-profile roof rails to make it easier to carry extra gear. A two-tone roof is optional on the Uncharted GT. Tires and wheels are offered in 18- and 20-inch options. The interior is closer in design to the C-HR, the instrument panels on both dominated by 14-inch touchscreen displays. But there are some welcome differences, starting with Subaru's use of StarTex material on GT and Sport trims. All versions feature distinctive orange design accents, and plenty of soft-touch materials. Standard Wireless CarPlay and EyeSight Safety Features Wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are dual wireless smartphone chargers built into the front center console. There are dual USB-C chargers in the rear. A basic version of the Subaru EyeSight driver assistance system is standard across the board, though you'll have to upgrade for features like Blind Sport Monitor and Active Cruise Control. Specific trims add features like Traffic Jam Assist and a panoramic view monitor. All trims get the All-Weather Package, including heated front seats and exterior mirrors and windshield wiper de-icing, a power tailgate and interior ambient lighting. Japan Production with Spring 2026 U.S. Arrival The 2026 Subaru Uncharted will be produced in Japan and should start rolling into U.S. showrooms by next spring. The automaker has yet to announce pricing, though it is expected to come in below that of the larger Subaru Solterra which ranges from $39,915 to $46,915. Unfortunately, the federal tax credits offered U.S. EV buyers will expire in September 2025. Meanwhile, new Trump tariffs on imported autos could push up the cost of all of the 2026 Subaru EVs. 2026 Subaru Uncharted EV: 338 HP, 300 Miles Range, Tesla Charging | Full Details first appeared on Autoblog on Jul 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by Autoblog on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Subaru Launches Its Uncharted EV With a 290-Mile Range, Should Hyundai and Kia Worry?
Subaru has revealed its new Uncharted electric vehicle (EV) in person for the first time, and the compact SUV is bound to put some pressure on the electric variants of the Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro. The all-new Uncharted Sport and GT trims offer up to 338 horsepower, translating to a 0-60 mph time of less than 5 seconds, and an estimated 290-mile range. This horsepower stems from dual electric motors on the front and rear axles, and standard all-wheel drive (AWD) on two of the three variants. The Uncharted's complete trim lineup includes Premium FWD, Sport, and GT levels. Drivers receive over 300 miles of range on the front-wheel drive (FWD) trim, but lower horsepower at 221. Fast-charging each grade's 74.7-kWh, high-capacity lithium-ion battery from 0% to 80% takes about thirty minutes, and selectable drive modes include Snow, Mud, and Dirt. Off-roading is enhanced by the model's lightweight and rigid high-strength steel, structural support from its underfloor batteries, aerodynamic enhancements, and specifically tuned suspension components. While this compact model is almost seven inches shorter than Subaru's new Solterra electric SUV, it features 1.2 cubic feet of additional storage behind the second row for a total of 25 cubic feet. There's seating for up to five passengers, and design touches, such as orange accents and soft-touch materials, characterize the cabin. Subaru StarTex interior upholstery is available on the Uncharted GT and Sport, and the GT trim also receives standard heated outboard rear seats. On the technology front, drivers receive a 14-inch touchscreen, dual wireless smartphone chargers, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Dual USB-C chargers are present in the rear, and a battery preconditioning system helps achieve the 30-minute charge time from 0% to 80%, even under challenging conditions such as cold weather. The digital gauge cluster is positioned above the dashboard, which contains a sleek LED ambient lighting strip. A panoramic glass roof paired with two-tone coloring helps form the Uncharted's contemporary appearance, and trims like the GT feature ventilated front seats and 20-inch wheels. The other wheel option measures 18 inches, and AWD models contain low-profile roof rails. The Subaru Uncharted beats both the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV in both power and range. The 2026 Hyundai Kona Electric boasts between 133 and 215 horsepower, while the Kia Niro EV offers 201 horsepower. The Kona Electric can take drivers between 200 and 260 miles on a single charge, versus the Niro EV's 253-mile range. The Uncharted is also more off-road focused than its Hyundai and Kia counterparts, and features more cargo space behind its second row than the Niro, while falling short of the Kona Electric by just 0.5 cubic feet. The 2026 Subaru Uncharted will give the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV a run for their money with its sharp exterior styling, impressive range, off-road capability, and interior that doesn't cut corners on tech. During the global in-person reveal of the Uncharted in New York, I noticed several standout elements that distinguished this Subaru from its competition, including rear door handles on the C-pillar, a striking headlight signature, and an interior that felt clean and straightforward, yet not dull. The 2026 Subaru Uncharted is expected to go on sale in early 2026, with pricing to be announced closer to its release. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
