► New Subaru Uncharted revealed
► Will launch in the UK in early 2026
► Based off Toyota C-HR+ crossover

Subaru has confirmed its next car for Europe: the Uncharted. It is – rather unsurprisingly – an electric crossover based off a Toyota. Specifically, the Uncharted has close ties to the new C-HR+ – the battery electric version of Toyota’s own mid-size-ish crossover.

The Uncharted is, according to Subaru, ‘the brand’s first all-electric compact SUV’ that is ’designed for outdoor-loving explorers and performance enthusiasts alike.’ And, as much as Subaru has worked closely with Toyota, the bodywork is all Subaru’s own design. Inside, the Uncharted includes a large 14-inch infotainment screen and dual wireless chargers, as well as a broadly similar interior design as the C-HR+.

 

Three powertrain options will be offered. A base model with a 57.7kWh battery pack, a single e-motor and a claimed range of 276 miles. A larger 77kWh battery option is offered with either a single e-motor and a 363-mile claimed range, or a dual-motor all-wheel drive version that can sprint to 62mph in five seconds and claims a 292-mile range.

Subaru’s rollout of EVs continues, after the Solterra that launched a few years back. As well as the Uncharted, Subaru has confirmed that the E-Outback that was initially revealed as the Trailseeker at the 2025 New York Motor Show will come to Europe.

We’ll find out more specific speca when the car launches early in 2026.
