SUBA STAR

In Uncharted territory with firm's first all-electric compact SUV

- With John Mitchell

SUBARU has announced three new exciting models for its Irish and European customers including the Uncharted, its first all-electric compact SUV.

Built on the newly evolved e-Subaru Global Platform, the new Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) range offers more power, enhanced range and faster charging.

The brand's renowned All-Wheel Drive (AWD) expertise has been re-engineered for the EV era, offering superior safety, consistently deployable torque, greater road-holding precision, and refined off-road capability.

The software-managed AWD system intuitively adjusts torque distribution across front and rear e-axles, providing superior cornering ability and surefooted traction in all conditions.

As well as from the brand's signature S-AWD platform, Subaru will offer two Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) single-motor versions of the Uncharted model in Europe.

This provides customers an alternative drivetrain option that prioritises range and affordability, while continuing to deliver on Subaru’s core values of safety, capability and driving pleasure.

The Subaru Uncharted and Solterra models are due to launch in Ireland in early 2026, with the Subaru E-Outback arriving mid-2026. Here, we take a closer look at the three exciting new additions...
