Subaru Australia has announced pricing and begun accepting pre-orders for the Uncharted, its third electric vehicle (EV), prior to the model's anticipated mid-2026 debut.

The Uncharted comes in one version at $59,990 before on-road costs, positioning it as Subaru's most affordable EV for Australian buyers so far. It undercuts the Solterra, Subaru's initial EV, which starts at $61,990 before on-roads following a recent price reduction.

Similar to its bigger siblings, the Solterra and Trailseeker EV, the Uncharted pairs with a Toyota counterpart - the C-HR+ compact electric SUV, slated for Australia in mid-2027, well after the Subaru.

Upon launch, the Uncharted will take on compact EVs such as the BYD Atto 3, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Kia EV3, though its pricing aligns more with their higher-end trims.

Australian Uncharted models are expected to be produced by Toyota in Japan, like the Solterra, unlike the Trailseeker built by Subaru alongside its bZ4X counterpart. It shares key traits with recent Toyota and Subaru EVs.

Local versions feature a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery from CATL in China, delivering a WLTP-rated range of 522km. DC fast charging peaks at 150kW, with 10-80 percent capacity reached in 30 minutes.

While a front-wheel-drive variant exists overseas, Australia gets only the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, true to Subaru tradition outside the BRZ. Subaru terms it 'Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive' even without a front-to-rear driveshaft.

The setup generates 252kW of power, achieving 0-100km/h in about five seconds. It includes Subaru's X-Mode with Grip Control and Downhill Assist for off-road capability.

The cabin mirrors other Subaru EVs closely. A 14.0-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto dominates the center, above dual wireless chargers.

A 7.0-inch digital cluster sits high on the dash, paired with Subaru's squared EV steering wheel - heated and leather-wrapped.

Synthetic leather front seats provide eight-way power adjustment, driver's memory settings, and lumbar support. Heated reclining rear outboard seats join them.

Standard kit includes a digital rear-view mirror, power tailgate, and 1500W vehicle-to-load outlet. Safety covers Subaru's Emergency Driving Stop System, Vision Assist, and driver monitoring.

20-inch alloys are fitted, with a panoramic glass roof optional for $1200 or bundled with two-tone paint for $2400.

Subaru confirms 211mm ground clearance for Australia - 9mm shy of the Crosstrek - likely matching the C-HR+'s dimensions otherwise.

The Toyota measures 4520mm long, 1870mm wide, 1595mm tall on a 2750mm wheelbase, edging out rivals like the Atto 3 and EV3 in size.

"The Uncharted needs to be experienced to be truly understood - it will surprise you in all the best ways," said Subaru Australia general manager Scott Lawrence.

"It's super energised, nimble, corners on a dime and makes you feel like the car constantly wants more from you. It carries the ground clearance of an SUV but the soul of a performance car.

"That's the result of taking the best of Subaru engineering and pouring it into one exceptionally well-crafted Sport Electric Vehicle."

Pre-orders are live on the Subaru Australia site.
