Subaru revealed its debut three-row all-electric SUV, named the Getaway, during the ongoing New York International Auto Show.
The vehicle draws from Toyota's e-TNGA architecture, much like Subaru's previous electric models, and incorporates numerous specifications from the forthcoming 2027 Highlander EV. Every variant includes Subaru's signature Symmetrical all-wheel drive setup, delivering 420 horsepower along with a built-in charging port compatible with NACS standards. However, its charging capability appears modest, with a projected 150kW rate that should restore the battery from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes.
The initial production run of Getaways will hit dealerships toward the end of the current year, designated as 2027 models, equipped with a 95.8kWh battery pack offering over 300 miles of driving distance per charge and acceleration from zero to 60 mph in less than five seconds. It features battery preconditioning to sustain optimal charging performance in chilly conditions as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Subsequently, in the early portion of 2027, a shorter-range edition will launch, utilizing a 77kWh battery and all-wheel drive. The SUV boasts 8.3 inches of clearance from the ground, complemented by the X-Mode terrain system with modes for Snow/Dirt, Deep Snow/Mud, Grip enhancement, and Downhill Assist, plus a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
Inside, the Getaway accommodates up to seven passengers via a second-row bench seat, or six if selecting individual captain's chairs in that row. The entertainment and navigation setup centers on a 14-inch display screen that supports wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, paired with a 12.3-inch digital gauge panel for the driver.
True to Subaru's rugged ethos, the Getaway includes practical elements for outdoor use, such as ladder-style roof rails on the majority of versions, choices of 19- or 20-inch wheels, and cargo volume reaching 45.6 cubic feet when the rearmost seats are lowered. Standard equipment encompasses heated seats in the front, with options for ventilated versions in the forward rows and a heated steering wheel on higher-end configurations.
Although the Getaway bears close resemblances to Toyota's impending Highlander EV, it presents a suitable electric alternative for Subaru enthusiasts managing bigger households seeking to switch from traditional fuel vehicles.
Further information regarding costs and available configurations is anticipated nearer to the vehicle's market debut in late 2026.
