Subaru is about to reveal its new electric crossover SUV: Here's what to expect

A new Subaru EV is finally on the way. The new electric crossover SUV, the 2026 Subaru Uncharted, is set to make its global debut next week. Here’s what we know so far.

The new 2026 Subaru Uncharted EV is coming soon

Subaru currently sells only one fully electric vehicle, the Solterra, but that’s about to change. The Japanese automaker plans to introduce three new electric SUVs by the end of 2026. By the end of the decade, Subaru plans to offer a total of eight EVs.

Earlier this year at the NY Auto Show, Subaru revealed one of the new EVs, the 2026 Trailseeker, alongside the 2026 Solterra.

The Trailseeker is Subaru’s second electric SUV. Although it’s built on the same platform as the Solterra, the new EV is slightly bigger and more capable.

With 8.3″ of ground clearance, an AWD powertrain, up to 3,500 lbs towing, and 375 horsepower, Subaru claims the new electric SUV has that “go-anywhere attitude.”

It’s also equipped with Subaru’s X-Mode Dual-Mode System. The traction control system features various modes, including Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud Modes, as well as Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control, for enhanced on- and off-road performance.

Powered by a 74.7 kWh battery, the Trailseeker delivers over 260 miles of range. It also has a built-in NACS port so you can recharge at Tesla Superchargers.

The new EV, Subaru said, will be sold globally. Subaru was light on the details, but did say the new electric crossover SUV “is ready for your next adventure.”

You can expect a similar powertrain setup to the Trailseeker with a dual-motor AWD system. As a compact electric crossover SUV, it may be slightly smaller than the Solterra, which measures 4,690 mm (184.6″) in length, 1,860 mm (73.2″) in width, and 1,650 mm (65″) in height.

Subaru raised its global EV sales target last year, aiming to sell 600,000 electric vehicles, or about 50% of its total sales, by 2030.
