Subaru has introduced the new 2026 electric Uncharted to the U.S. market and immediately surprised buyers: the base version is front-wheel drive—the brand’s first such offering in North America in many years. The entry Premium FWD is priced at $34,995 and, according to Subaru, offers more than 483 km of EPA-cycle range with 221 hp. This configuration will be produced in limited numbers, as shoppers in this segment tend to opt for AWD. It’s a rare move for Subaru, yet a pragmatic way to keep the entry price in check and maximize range.

Above it sit the Sport and GT, with a different approach: dual-motor all-wheel drive and 338 hp. The Sport starts at $39,795 and claims more than 459 km, while the flagship GT begins at $43,795 but with a shorter range of more than 435 km. For the U.S., a key detail is standard NACS, meaning built-in compatibility with Tesla’s Supercharger network. That decision looks like a timely, practical step for everyday charging.

The hardware is unified across the lineup: a 74.7-kWh battery, an 11-kW onboard charger with preconditioning, and up to 150 kW on DC fast charging. In optimal conditions, Subaru says the Uncharted can go from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes. They also note Japanese assembly at a Toyota facility and a fixed $1,450 delivery fee. The charging figures come across as conservative rather than flashy, but they look realistic for daily use.

Standard equipment includes a 14-inch infotainment system with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, a bad-weather package, and the EyeSight suite of driver assists. The Sport adds X-Mode off-road settings, a surround-view camera system, and expanded driver-assistance functions, while the GT focuses on comfort and visual touches, including two-tone paint. The trim structure seems well-judged: the Sport likely hits the capability sweet spot, with the GT appealing to those who value style and amenities.
