New Subaru Uncharted revealed as rugged 338bhp SUV for 2026

Subaru's version of the Toyota C-HR+ packs VW Golf R levels of power and promises off-road ability Subaru has revealed the new Uncharted SUV as its third electric car, joining the new-look Solterra crossover and the high-riding E-Outback estate. Based on strategic partner Toyota's new C-HR+ (just as the Solterra is based on the bZ4X), the Uncharted will launch in the UK early next year with dimensions and specifications that line it up as a rival to the Ford Capri, Cupra Tavascan and Kia EV6. The Uncharted will look to claim an edge over its rivals for rugged utility, however, with Subaru claiming the new model delivers the brand's "signature ruggedness allied with dynamic agility". While it is almost identical in silhouette to the Toyota on which it is based, the Uncharted emphasises its off-road credentials with a raised ride height (to 210mm), chunky black body cladding and functional roof rails. Like the Toyota, it will be available with a choice of either a 221bhp front-mounted electric motor or a 338bhp twin-motor arrangement. Subaru refers to the latter as "the core option", which gives all-wheel drive, a 1500kg towing capacity and the ability to get from 0-60mph in 5.0sec. There will be a choice of two batteries: a 77kWh unit giving up to 363 miles of range in the single-motor car, or a cheaper 57.7kWh pack, which returns up to 276 miles. The Uncharted's interior is carried over from the C-HR+, featuring a squared-off steering wheel with plenty of buttons down each side, a 14in infotainment touchscreen and another panel of chunky physical switches and controls in the centre console.
