Subaru’s upcoming three-row all-electric SUV will be unveiled at the New Year Auto Show on April 1, 2026. Expected to be similar to the Toyota Highlander EV, it will launch in the market featuring a rugged, stylish design combined with modern performance.
Details regarding its pricing are expected to be revealed a few weeks after its unveiling. It is anticipated that the price will hover around $55,000, positioning it to offer stiff competition to the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9.
It is expected that deliveries will commence in the United States by the last quarter of 2026, after which it will be introduced in other North American nations and European countries; subsequently, it will be introduced in the Asian market by the end of 2027.
What do we know about Subaru’s three-row EV?
The three-row all-electric SUV (sporty utility vehicle) is yet to be unveiled. As it is going to be based on the Toyota Highlander EV, we have shared its expected specifications, dimensions and space, exterior design, interior features and much more about it.
Specifications
It is expected to come with two battery packs, which are 77.0 kWh and 95.8 kWh, giving a range of 435 km to 460 km and 480 km to 515 km, respectively, with all-wheel drive configuration. The power, torque, acceleration timing and top speed for standard range and long range are the following:
77 kWh Battery
- Power: ~420 hp
- Torque: ~650–700 Nm
- 0–100 km/h: ~4.5 sec
- Top Speed: ~170–180 km/h
95.8 kWh Battery
- Power: ~420 hp
- Torque: ~700–750 Nm
- 0–100 km/h: ~4.0–4.5 sec
- Top Speed: ~180–200 km/h
It is based on a 400-V platform which can support a maximum 150-200 kW DC charger, which takes around 30 minutes to charge from 10 to 80%. Apart from this, a home charging facility will also be available; an 11 kW AC charger will take 8 to 10 hours for a full charge.
Dimensions & Space
Since it is based on the Toyota Highlander EV platform, its length, width, and height will measure 5050 mm, 1990 mm, and 1710 mm, respectively. Furthermore, it will feature a wheelbase of 3050 mm, which is quite long, providing the EV with excellent stability at high speeds while also offering superior legroom for passengers in the second and third rows.
It is set to have a seating capacity of 6 people; thanks to its impressive height, all occupants will enjoy ample headroom, ensuring they face no inconvenience whatsoever during long journeys. It offers a boot space of approximately 350 litres, and if the third row is folded down, the cargo space expands to around 1,300 litres.
Interior & Features
Since this vehicle is based on the Toyota Highlander EV platform, its interior is expected to be quite similar. To ensure a truly premium and exclusive feel, soft-touch materials have been incorporated, along with a host of advanced and high-tech features designed to provide comfort and convenience to the occupants throughout their journey.
For infotainment, it features two touchscreens: a 14-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display. To enhance the premium feel, it includes a panoramic glass roof and ambient lighting; for comfort and convenience, it offers ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats and multiple storage spaces with cupholders.
Exterior & Design
Its interior is set to be quite rugged, featuring split LED headlights. Additionally, the front grille will be notably bold, and the body cladding will be substantial, designed to visually reflect its off-road capabilities. We can also expect to see roof rails, along with large alloy wheels.
From a design perspective, this three-row all-electric SUV is going to have a truly striking appearance; for improved aerodynamics, it features flush-type door handles. Overall, EV’s aesthetic will be distinctly bold and aggressive, effectively highlighting its off-road prowess.
