Subaru Getaway EV: Power & Space Redefined

Subaru has revealed its new Getaway, a three-row electric SUV built in partnership with Toyota. The vehicle shares its platform with the Toyota Highlander EV but offers increased power and distinctive Subaru features.

Performance and Power

The Getaway features a dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) system producing a combined 420 horsepower. This surpasses the Toyota Highlander EV’s output of 388 horsepower. Subaru states this allows the Getaway to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under five seconds.

Design and Interior Space

The exterior design showcases clear similarities to the Toyota Highlander EV. Subaru emphasizes the Getaway’s spacious interior, offering 45.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row – exceeding the Kia EV9. It also provides 15.9 cubic feet of space behind the third row.

Interior Features

  • Standard 14-inch infotainment display
  • 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • USB-C ports in every row
  • Available ventilated seats and heated rear seats
  • Optional panoramic roof

Capability and Range

Every Getaway comes standard with all-wheel drive, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and Subaru’s X-Mode system. The SUV has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. Power is supplied by a 95.8 kWh battery pack, providing an estimated range of over 300 miles.

Charging and Future Options

The Getaway is equipped with a NACS charging port, granting access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. It supports a maximum charging speed of 150 kW, allowing for a 10-80% charge in approximately 30 minutes. A standard-range version with a 77 kWh battery pack is planned for release in 2027, though range estimates for this model have not yet been disclosed.

Pricing and Availability

Subaru anticipates the Getaway will start around $55,000, positioning it competitively with the Kia EV9 and potentially undercutting the Toyota Highlander. Pricing details will be confirmed later this year, along with further information regarding market availability.

The Getaway represents Subaru’s most powerful production vehicle to date and marks a significant step in the brand’s electric vehicle strategy.
