Subaru’s ambitious growth plan is showing no signs of slowing down, with the imminent reveal of a third all-electric model. Due to be called the Subaru Uncharted, the mid-size SUV will strike right at the heart of the market, rivalling the likes of the popular Kia EV3 and Skoda Elroq.
At around 4.5 metres long, the Uncharted will be slightly longer than many of its key rivals, but will likely match them for range, price and market positioning. This will place it below the larger Solterra, which currently takes on larger family-sized electric SUVs such as the VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq and the forthcoming Kia EV5.
Yet Subaru’s rapid influx of new EVs hasn’t come out of nowhere, as the Uncharted will draw heavily from the upcoming Toyota CH-R+. Just as the bigger Solterra does with Toyota’s bZ4x, the Uncharted will share all its key technical, interior and exterior packaging with the CH-R+, overlaid with a range of subtle changes to elements such as the front and rear bumpers, lights, wheels and colours.
