Subaru will almost certainly offer an all-wheel-drive model with a dual-motor set-up to go with its adventurous outdoorsy image, but it remains to be seen if a cheaper two-wheel-drive entry-level Uncharted will also be made available to give the range more variation and a lower price point.
The car’s sloping roofline will likely affect overall practicality, giving it a smaller interior and more restricted luggage space above the parcel shelf than a Kia EV3 or Skoda Elroq, but overall capacity will still be competitive, with around 415 litres of space.
We also suspect the cabin will retain the same dashboard architecture as the CH-R+, including its high-mounted driver’s display and small steering wheel, plus a 14-inch touchscreen running a version of Toyota’s user interface.
We’ll have to wait until the Subaru’s official reveal on July 17 for a full rundown, but as the third brand new or heavily revised EV model to be unveiled so far in 2025, it’s clear the brand has ambitions to match the success it’s seen in North America. The difference is that now Subaru has access to models far more suited to European tastes, and crucially, which meet legislation.
