Subaru just unveiled something new and interesting—the all-new 2026 Uncharted. If you have ever wished for an electric Crosstrek (with a bit more excitement), this is the one for you. Subaru partnered with Toyota to design this all-electric crossover—but it still has the Subaru personality. Rugged? Yes. AWD? Yes. Environmentally friendly? Yes.
So let’s take a look at what makes this EV different—and why you should be excited.
Looks Recognizable, Feels Brand New
Upon first glance, the Uncharted may remind you of the Subaru Crosstrek--albeit more aggressive lines, more robust cladding, and modem feel. The front grille has some futuristic vibes to it, but not the off-putting "robot" way at least - something you'd still take on a camping trip.
Why you care:
- You won't stand out too much in the city.
- Still has that Subaru feel - just smarter and sleeker.
- Designed for city streets and weekends.
One Battery for All - No Confusion
All versions of the Uncharted come with the same 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, which makes things simple. You don't have to double guess about range or performance for any of the trims, just if you go FWD or AWD.
Here are the details:
- FWD model - Over 300 miles, if you're doing daily driving or want to go on a few adventures.
- AWD models - Approximately 290 miles, and have a bit better grip on snowy or slippery roads.
- Charging: 10 - 80% in 30 minutes using a DC fast charger.
You'll be sorted whether you are heading into your daily commute or out on the mountain trail.
Real Power, Real Performance
This isn’t your slow electric SUV. The AWD versions of the Uncharted make a peppy 338 horsepower - pretty speedy assuming you want to go 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds. If you want something a bit more efficient, the base model FWD still provides a respectable 221 hp.
Fun fact:
- Subaru also includes its unique X-Mode AWD system, which provides you w/ even more control on snowy, gravel, and muddy surfaces.
- You can go straight to the trail without any thoughts of traction or torque.
In other words, it is an EV that still wants to get dirty. Just not in the gas guzzling way!
Comforts of the Cabin Meet Techy Feels
Subaru didn't attempt to reinvent the interior, but they dialed it up a notch. The interior is roomy, comfortable, and designed for adventure-seeking drivers.
Interior highlights:
- 14-inch touchscreen for navigation, media, and options.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto for easy phone connecting.
- StarTex water-resistant fabric (great for pets, gear, or kids).
- Dual wireless charging pads, so you and your co-pilot can both keep it charged.
- Heated steering wheel and chairs, because winter exists.
It's great whether you're driving to work or sleeping in the back on a camping trip.
Coming to the US Soon
Subaru has confirmed that the Uncharted will be available for sale in the US in early 2026. There is no official pricing yet, but it's expected to start in the mid-$30,000 range, which puts it up against other EVs such as the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Ford Escape EV and even Toyota's own bZ4X.
Who it's for:
- Young families who are in need of a stylish, green SUV.
- Subaru fans who want to make the transition to electric.
- People who love the outdoors, but want AWD.

Conclusion
The 2026 Subaru Uncharted EV strikes a nice balance, offering both strong utility and modern electric features. It contains everything you love about Subaru—AWD, robust features promoting adventure, and practicality—but it does so in a new electric framework. Whether you are a weekend road tripper, a commuter traversing both highway and back road in all types of weather, or want to go electric while retaining capabilities, the Uncharted brings everything together.
It's not trying to dazzle you - it's trying to be you. And that's why it seems less like a concept and more likely your next car. If you are looking for a Subaru that you plug into recharge and maintain its core values, the Uncharted may be you.
