Subaru ventured into the sweltering urban jungle of New York City to unveil this, the all-new Subaru Uncharted. It is not a brilliant video game or indeed a disappointing adaptation of said video game, but instead a shiny new electric crossover with sporty driving in mind. But of course.

The dual-motored utility vehicle will swing in with 338hp and provide Subie’s standard Symmetrical AWD, with its Sport and GT variants set up for 5sec 0-60mph (0-97kph) getaways off the line.

The Uncharted is a first for Subaru, but it’s not fully unfamiliar territory. If you look closely, you’ll see it’s essentially an exciting blend of the Solterra and the Toyota C-HR BEV announced a couple of months ago. All are built on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform with the C-HR (pronounced ‘chair,’ mainly by us) sharing the same motor configuration and output.

On the topic of the Solterra, the Uncharted sports the family look by sharing a light signature with the Solterra and the Trailseeker. It’s about seven inches shorter than its slightly more seasoned sibling, but it has 708 liters of cargo space behind the second row, out-cargo-ing the 674 liters the Solterra offers. All the while, its sport-tuned suspension claims dynamic performance on the road, along with grip and stability on loose surfaces.

Subaru expects 74.7kWh battery of the all-wheel drive versions to provide around 467km of range, and claims the crossover can be juiced up from 10-80% in 30 minutes when connected to a fast-charging station—something that its native NACS port can accommodate.

If it’s more miles and less grunt you’re looking for, a FWD-only version will be produced in limited numbers. These will offer up just 221hp, but can stretch its range past 480km if the conditions are right.

Inside the Uncharted, you’ll find a 14-inch infotainment screen, standard dual wireless charging ports on the center console, dual USB-C ports for rear passengers, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. In terms of safety, all trim levels include Subie’s suite of driver-assist tech it calls EyeSight, with certain trims throwing in extras like a panoramic view monitor, lane-change assist, and traffic-jam assist. All trims come with an all-weather package that includes heated front seats and a de-icer for the windshield wiper. The whole package rides on 18- or 20-inch wheels, contingent on trim level.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but we’ll hear more about it as we get closer to its launch in early 2026.
