With a starting price of $34,995, the Uncharted EV is positioned below the $40,000 mark, a key point for those seeking electrification without sacrificing their budget.

Subaru knows that the competition at this price point is fierce, especially with rivals like the Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro, or Chevy Equinox EV, but Subaru is fully confident that its performance and safety proposition will give it a real advantage.

Range, Battery, and Charging: What Matters Most to Buyers

An Efficient Battery with a Practical Approach

One of the most talked-about aspects of the 2026 Uncharted EV is its new battery pack. The crossover uses a 74.7 kWh unit, developed to maximize efficiency without compromising weight or performance. Thanks to this configuration, the front-wheel-drive version exceeds 300 miles of range per charge, while the Sport and GT variants, equipped with all-wheel drive, figures achieve exceeding 285 miles.

Subaru also incorporates a preconditioning system that optimizes the battery temperature to improve performance in cold climates and allow for faster charging at public stations.

Fast Charging and Expanded Compatibility

Another of its great attributes is its charging capacity. Using a fast charger of up to 150 kW, the Uncharted EV can go from 10% to 80% in just 28 minutes. Added to this is a strategic advantage: Subaru equips all versions with the NACS port,opening access to more than 25,000 public charging stations in the United States, including the Tesla Supercharger network. This makes the Uncharted one of the most accessible electric vehicles with full compatibility with the country's most robust charging infrastructure. Subaru Performance Options for Different Driver Types True to the brand's DNA, Subaru didn't compromise on performance. The Sport and GT versions feature two electric motors that combine to produce 338 horsepower, along with the renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. In addition, there's the X-MODE Dual-Mode System, designed to maintain control on slippery surfaces, steep inclines, or low-traction roads. For those seeking efficiency and greater range, the Premium FWD version delivers 221 horsepower, sacrificing power in favor of a superior range that exceeds the AWD versions by more than 30 miles. Optimized Chassis and Handling Dynamics: The Subaru Uncharted EV is built on a reinforced platform that integrates the battery as a structural part of the vehicle, lowering the center of gravity and improving stability. It features a high-performance suspension, 8 inches of ground clearance, and a focus on both urban use and off-road driving. Safety and Technology for Everyday Life: Even the base model is equipped with the EyeSight system, one of the most comprehensive driver assistance packages on the market. Available features include:

This makes the Uncharted EV one of the best-equipped compact electric models in terms of active safety without needing to pay for additional options.
