Subaru is stepping into uncharted territory literally with its all-new Uncharted electric SUV. The brand calls it a Sport Electric Vehicle (SEV), which blends its SUV heritage with high-performance electric driving.
The company is building on its history of innovation, including pioneering the small SUV segment with the XV in 2012. Subaru says the Uncharted is dynamic, fun, fearless, and unmistakably Subaru.
The Australian arrival is expected in mid-2026, and pricing, final specs, and exact on-sale timing will be confirmed closer to launch.
Powertrain and performance details

This powertrain setup delivers the familiar Subaru confidence across mixed surfaces, now with the added punch of electrification. The coupe SUV has instant, linear acceleration with precise control and is designed for both tight city driving and open-road performance.
Electric power meets AWD DNA
The real SUV capability of the Uncharted remains intact, and it doesn’t forget its off-road roots. It has a 211mm ground clearance and features X-Mode and Downhill Assist Control.
“Decades of engineering, Symmetrical AWD and a low centre of gravity all come together to create a drive that’s more engaging, more connected and genuinely fun, with the control and confidence you expect from us,” said Scott Lawrence, Subaru Australia General Manager.

This design balances aerodynamics with a sporty, modern presence.
Driver-focused interior
Subaru Uncharted blends new tech with usability in the cabin. Here are its interior features:
- 14-inch central touchscreen
- Dual wireless phone chargers
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Retained physical controls for key functions (reducing distraction)
The cabin is clearly driver-oriented, aligning with the car’s performance focus.
Safety suite
Safety remains a core pillar of this Subaru SUV with a comprehensive list of systems. Here are the revealed safety features so far:

The bigger picture
The Uncharted e-SUV is part of a broader electrification push. It joins the updated 2026 Solterra (mid-size) and sits alongside the newly revealed Trailseeker (large) SUV. Together, they form a three-model electric SUV lineup covering small, medium, and large SUV segments. All are built on Subaru’s latest EV platform, marking a shift from a single EV to a full family.
