Reviews Confirm 2026 Subaru Uncharted EV as Toyota C‑HR Twin With FWD Base Model

Early drives find a near‑duplicate of Toyota’s C‑HR that adds a lower‑priced front‑drive version to court range‑focused buyers.

Overview

  • Outlets report the Uncharted is effectively a rebadged C‑HR built alongside Toyota’s version in Japan, with only modest styling and feature differences.
  • Three configurations are confirmed: a 221 hp single‑motor Premium FWD and 338 hp dual‑motor AWD Sport and GT, all using a 74.7‑kWh pack with EPA estimates of about 308, 287, and 273 miles.
  • Subaru quotes NACS fast charging up to 150 kW for a 10%–80% charge in roughly 28 minutes, with Level 2 replenishment in about seven hours.
  • U.S. pricing starts at $36,445 for the limited‑availability FWD Premium, with AWD Sport at $41,245 and GT at $45,245, and first customer deliveries are expected this spring.
  • The model reintroduces FWD to Subaru’s U.S. lineup for the first time since 1997; reviewers note strong on‑road poise, a claimed 0–60 mph in 4.7 seconds for AWD trims, 8.2 inches of ground clearance, and X‑Mode off‑pavement aids, with media access hosted by Subaru.
