Expanding Electric Lineup
The upcoming SUV is the fourth addition to Subaru’s growing electric vehicle (EV) portfolio, joining the Solterra, Uncharted, and Trailseeker models. This rapid expansion demonstrates Subaru’s commitment to electrification amid broader industry shifts.
Performance Details & Pricing
The new EV’s 420-hp output surpasses the Trailseeker’s 375 hp, suggesting a significant performance upgrade. The teaser image released by Subaru shows a silhouette similar to the Trailseeker and Uncharted, hinting at a familiar yet refined design.
Pricing is expected to be competitive within Subaru’s existing EV range:
