Subaru Debuts Uncharted Electric Vehicle with Impressive 300-Mile Range and NACS Charging Port Technology
In an unprecedented move, Subaru unveiled its third electric vehicle this week, christened the Uncharted. Set to grace dealerships in early 2026, the Uncharted promises robust performance alongside a design that is likely to resonate with a wide array of consumers.
The Uncharted bears a striking resemblance to the battery-powered Toyota C-HR, a similarity some may deem criticism-worthy. However, the preference for a relatively conventional automotive aesthetic—as opposed to the more avant-garde designs typical of certain electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla—is evident in the success of vehicles such as the Honda Prologue. Despite the EV enthusiast community’s observations regarding the Uncharted’s shared components with General Motors platforms and the Equinox EV, everyday consumers appear unfazed.
The Uncharted boasts a commendable range of 300 miles on the Premium FWD trim, coupled with 338 horsepower and a 0-60mph acceleration of just five seconds. Recharging is expedited through public fast chargers within a 30-minute window, and the vehicle’s NACS port enables compatibility with Tesla Superchargers as well. This speed of recharging represents the pinnacle of cost-effective technology currently available.
At present, pricing details for the Uncharted, along with Subaru’s second electric vehicle, the Trailseeker, remain undisclosed. In recent months, however, Subaru has significantly expanded its all-electric offerings from a solitary model—the Solterra—to a trio, signifying an ambitious commitment to making electric vehicles a cornerstone of its brand. All three of these models are built on Toyota’s E-TNGA battery platform, as reported by The Verge.
Technological features of the 2026 Uncharted include a 14-inch touchscreen—Subaru’s largest to date—which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, features conspicuously absent in offerings from Tesla, Rivian, or General Motors due to these companies’ commitment to proprietary technology development.
The Uncharted offers two wireless charging pads within the center console, along with two USB-C chargers in the rear. The vehicle also comes equipped with a suite of autonomous driving technologies, although it does not support hands-free operation. Basic features such as lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control, lane change assist, and pre-collision braking are included, among others. A panoramic camera view ensures that outdoor enthusiasts will be well-equipped to navigate through wooded areas without striking wildlife.
Subaru has infused the Uncharted with fresh aesthetics, including optional 18- or 20-inch wheel designs, a panoramic roof, and distinctive orange interior accents. The vehicle also boasts ample legroom.
In the words of Subaru engineers, “extensive chassis development” has ensured that the Uncharted delivers impressive straight-line stability, handling, and grip on loose surfaces such as gravel, dirt, or snow.
