- 2026 Subaru Uncharted confirmed for Australia

- 252kW, 5.0 sec 0-100km/h, 522km range

The Finer Details
Taking to social media to confirm the Toyota-sourced EV for our market, Subaru has already opened expressions of interest in what it’s calling a ‘sport electric vehicle’, or ‘SEV’.
At this stage only the punchy all-paw dual-motor powertrain has been announced, meaning the brand’s smallest EV to date should be able to follow its petrol-powered Crosstrek counterpart off the beaten path on soft-roading adventures.
As such, the Uncharted features 1500-watt vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities, a maximum range of up to 522km and backs its 212mm of ground clearance with an X-Mode off-road drive mode and hill descent control.
DC charging can be done at up to 150kW to yield a 10-80 per cent top-up in “around 30 minutes” while its home charging abilities extend to 22kW (three-phase) on AC power.
The Australian line-up is yet to be detailed or priced, but equipment highlights listed on the Subaru Australia website include 20-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, a 14-inch infotainment system, dual wireless charging pad, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather upholstery and a square steering wheel.
The Road Ahead
Subaru Australia has confirmed the Uncharted will arrive mid-year, with pricing set to be announced closer to its arrival.
That said, it would be reasonable to expect the compact SUV to be cheaper than the mid-sized Solterra which starts from $63,990 plus on-road costs and is offered in two guises.
Odds are the Uncharted will also be offered in two trim levels, like the eponymous Uncharted AWD and Touring AWD – mimicking the Solterra.
