Subaru is set to reveal a new all-electric SUV with 420 horsepower at the New York Auto Show on April 1st. This model will feature the brand’s signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, positioning it as Subaru’s most powerful EV to date.

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:

  • Solterra : $39,945
  • Uncharted : $36,445 (Subaru’s most affordable EV)
  • Trailseeker : $41,445

The new model will likely start in the mid-$40,000 range, solidifying Subaru’s position in the growing EV market.

Why This Matters

Subaru’s push into EVs is strategic. While some automakers are slowing down EV plans, Subaru is doubling down, offering a wider range of electric options. The 420-hp SUV signals that Subaru isn’t just entering the EV space but aiming to compete on performance and capability.

The unveiling will be livestreamed on April 1st at 10:25 am.

This aggressive expansion ensures Subaru remains relevant as consumer demand for EVs continues to rise.
