Subaru has teased what is potentially its most significant new model introduction of the year with a preview shot of its upcoming compact EV SUV, the Uncharted.
Scheduled to be unveiled late next week, the new model will join the Solterra; jointly developed with its Toyota bZ4X twin-under-the-skin, and the Trailseeker, unveiled at the New York motor show earlier this year.
The Solterra broke the EV ice for Subaru when it hit showrooms globally in mid-2022, arriving in Australia in early 2024. And the Trailseeker, also developed with Toyota and fundamentally a stretched version of the bZ4X/Solterra, is set to go on sale in the US in 2026.
No details on the Uncharted at this stage, just a dust-covered long-shot image confirming a five-door configuration, slimline tail-lights and availability of an optional black turret.
Of course, the automotive rumour mill is working overtime, and reports out of Japan suggest the new car is likely a Subaru version of the upcoming Toyota C-HR+ EV (due for global on-sale in early 2026).
If that is the case, the new Subaru will match the small Toyota’s up to 600km claimed range, 30 minute 10-80 per cent rapid charging time and choice of 57.7kWh and 77kWh batteries.
When contacted for comment on the newcomer’s potential for the local market Subaru Australia told CarsGuide it was excited for the world premier, encouraging those interested to "stay tuned".
