Subaru Uncharted FAQ: Answering The Most Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Subaru Uncharted?
The Uncharted is Subaru's new compact electric crossover-smaller than the Solterra and designed as an EV counterpart to the Crosstrek. It's a sleek, fastback-style five-door model with a modern cabin and the latest driver-assist tech. While built in partnership, the Uncharted's tuning, design cues, and off-pavement features are all distinctly Subaru.
Is the Subaru Uncharted AWD?
Yes-Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is available. The lineup is expected to launch with a single-motor front-wheel-drive Premium trim for Fort Mitchell shoppers seeking maximum efficiency, while dual-motor AWD comes on Sport and GT trims for enhanced traction and acceleration. The FWD configuration is particularly notable, as it's the first Subaru sold in the U.S. with front-wheel drive since the 1990s. This configuration will help lower costs and extend range for buyers who don't need AWD every day.
What is the range of the Subaru Uncharted?
While official EPA certifications are still pending, Subaru's preliminary targets indicate up to about 290 miles for AWD versions and "over 300 miles" for the FWD model.
Does the Subaru Uncharted have quick charging?
Yes. Subaru projects a 10-80% DC fast-charge in roughly 30 minutes under ideal conditions. The Uncharted uses the NACS port for broad public-network access, including Tesla Superchargers. It also supports charging rates up to about 150 kW. As with any EV, real-world battery refill times vary with temperature, charger output, and the vehicle's current state of charge.
What is the ground clearance of the Subaru Uncharted?
Ground clearance for the Uncharted is a very Subaru-like 8.3 inches. That, along with other attributes like available X-MODE traction management and hill-descent control, helps give the Uncharted more light-trail confidence than many small EV crossovers in the segment.
How much horsepower does the Subaru Uncharted have?
AWD models target up to 338 horsepower from a dual-motor setup, with Subaru indicating 0-60 mph capability in under five seconds on upper trims. The efficient single-motor FWD model is expected to produce around 221 horsepower.
How big is the Uncharted inside, and where does it fit in Subaru's lineup?
The Uncharted will be Subaru's smallest EV, sitting below the Solterra in size and price while offering more cargo practicality than you might expect given its sleek design.
What trims and features are expected?
Launch trims are anticipated to include Premium (FWD), Sport (AWD), and GT (AWD). Notable feature highlights include a 14-inch center touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, dual wireless phone chargers, a power rear gate, heated seats, a panoramic moonroof, and Harman Kardon premium audio. As with all SUVs in the automaker's lineup, Subaru EyeSight driver aids are standard across the lineup.
