Packing incredible punch and a range in excess of 500km, Subaru’s next and likely cheapest EV is closing in on Aussie shores in 2026
Subaru has finally confirmed the Uncharted small SUV will join its Australian lineup in mid-2026.
As the smallest and likely cheapest of its electric lineup under the Solterra midsize SUV and the Outback-esque Trailseeker, the Uncharted is essentially an EV alternative to the Crosstrek.
Sitting on the same e-TNGA platform as its EV siblings, the Uncharted is the latest Toyota-Subaru vehicle collaboration, with the former’s version badged the C-HR, though it isn’t due to arrive locally until mid-2027.
With Subaru Australia committed to only offering AWD vehicles (besides the BRZ), the Uncharted will be offered exclusively with a dual-motor setup producing a combined 252kW of power – good for a 0-100km/h sprint time of five seconds flat.
Torque has not yet been confirmed but is expected to be in excess of 400Nm.
A 74.7kWh CATL battery sits within the chassis, providing a claimed range of 522km, rechargeable via 150kW DC charging that will see it topped up from 10-80 percent in 30 minutes. Alternatively, 22kW AC charging should take it from flat-to-full in roughly four hours.
Subaru has also fitted 1500W V2L capability to the Uncharted, which could be handy for camping trips away.
The Uncharted sports slightly lower ground clearance of 211mm compared to its Crosstrek sibling (220mm), but the number is very competitive for the class and coincides with a suite of traction control aids which Subaru is famous for.
Official pricing and specification is not yet confirmed, but Subaru has confirmed the Uncharted will roll on 20-inch alloy wheels and feature LED headlights, a 360-degree camera along with a long list of other safety features.
Inside, the cabin sports a dual wireless phone charger, digital instrument cluster, and a 14-inch touchscreen, along with a range of physical controls.
While Subaru Australia has not indicated pricing for Uncharted, it’s expected to sit comfortably under the more powerful (280kW) and quicker (4.4sec 0-100km/h) Trailseeker wagon.
