Subaru confirms three new electric models

Subaru has confirmed it will launch a new line-up of electric cars in the UK, which are all set to arrive in 2026.

The refreshed range includes a facelifted version of the Solterra (pictured above), plus the all-new Unchartered and E-Outback.

Built on the newly evolved e-Subaru Global Platform, Subaru says the new models offer more power, enhanced range and faster charging.

Subaru Unchartered

The Subaru Uncharted will be the brand’s first all-electric compact SUV and is said to combine ruggedness with dynamic agility.

A purposefully styled exterior is complemented by a generously equipped cabin, featuring a 14-inch infotainment display. The Uncharted boasts a turning circle of 5.5 meters and 210mm of ground clearance.

Three drivetrain options will be available, including an All-Wheel-Drive system, utilising dual motor technology. The flagship model's 77kWh battery provides 344PS and up to 292 miles of range, with 0-62mph in 5.0 seconds and 1,500Kg of towing capability.

Subaru will also offer a Long-Range, Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) version, utilising the same 77kWh battery, but powered with a single motor, delivering a range of up to 363 miles. 

An alternative single-motor, FWD version will also be available with a smaller 57.7kWh battery, offering a range of 276 miles. All versions of the Subaru Uncharted will be equipped with fast charging capability, allowing it to charge from 10 to 80% in 30 minutes.

The Subaru Uncharted will launch in the UK in early 2026, with full UK specifications, drivetrain options, and pricing to be announced closer to the launch.

Subaru E-Outback

Inspired by the 30-year legacy of Subaru’s Outback the E-Outback combines everything drivers love about its trusted petrol-powered sibling – versatility, capability, and go-anywhere confidence – with enhanced electric power and refined technology.

The Subaru E-Outback uses a 74.7kWh battery, providing 380PS and enabling it to accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds, while also offering a range of more than 279 miles. It is fitted with a Symmetrical AWD system, and is complemented by 210mm of ground clearance, a dual X-MODE terrain selection system and provides a 1,500Kg towing capacity.

A comprehensive range of passive and active safety systems, including Emergency Driving Stop, Secondary Collision Braking, and EyeSight Driving Assist system-inspired features are fitted as standard.

The Subaru E-Outback is a longer than the Solterra, giving increased luggage space. It is set to arrive in the UK in summer 2026.

Subaru Solterra

Three years after its debut as Subaru's first EV, the Solterra has been refreshed with significant hardware and software upgrades, as well as sleek new styling.

The dual e-axles now deliver 344PS, enabling the Solterra to accelerate from 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds. The drive battery capacity has increased to 73.1kWh and is capable of exceeding 310 miles on a full charge. Further battery improvements have also resulted in faster charging speeds, with the new Solterra now able to charge from 10 to 80% in just 30 minutes. Towing capacity has also doubled to 1,500Kg.

A design refresh brings aero-optimised front styling, a redesigned interior, and a new 14-inch infotainment display. Safety has been enhanced with added camera support for all-surface awareness.

The revised Solterra will launch in early 2026.
