Subaru Australia has opened pre-orders for its new all-electric Uncharted SUV, pricing the dual-motor model from $59,990 before on-road costs, while also cutting prices across its updated Solterra and incoming Trailseeker electric SUV ranges.
The new Uncharted will sit in Subaru’s growing “Sport Electric Vehicle” line-up alongside the Solterra and Trailseeker, giving the Japanese brand a smaller and more affordable electric SUV option in Australia.
The Uncharted will arrive locally mid-year in a single AWD variant, powered by a dual-motor electric drivetrain producing a combined 252kW. Subaru claims a 0-100km/h time of around five seconds, putting it closer to the brisk end of the mainstream electric SUV market.
The Uncharted uses a 74.7kWh CATL lithium-ion battery, with Subaru quoting a preliminary WLTP driving range of up to 522km. DC fast charging is rated at up to 150kW, with Subaru claiming a 10-80% charge time of around 30 minutes. AC charging is listed at up to 22kW, meaning it is three-phase capable where the right home or public charging infrastructure is available.
As you would expect from Subaru, all-wheel drive is central to the pitch. The Uncharted gets Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, dual-mode X-Mode with Grip Control, Downhill Assist Control and a Multi-Terrain Monitor. Ground clearance is listed at 211mm, which gives it more of a light-adventure brief than some low-slung electric crossovers.
Inside, the Uncharted looks a pretty similar setup to the Solterra and Trailseeker, featuring a 14-inch centre touchscreen, a 7-inch LCD multi-information display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in-built satellite navigation, dual wireless phone chargers, a digital rear-view mirror.
It also features heated front and rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
There is also a 360-degree camera system, powered tailgate, 20-inch alloy wheels and a vehicle-to-load outlet rated at 220V/1500W. Safety equipment includes Subaru Safety Sense, Vision Assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, safe exit assist, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive driving beam and a driver monitoring system.
“The Uncharted needs to be experienced to be truly understood, it will surprise you in all the best ways,” said Scott Lawrence, general manager of Subaru Australia. “It’s super energised, nimble, corners on a dime and makes you feel like the car constantly wants more from you.”
The Uncharted AWD is priced from $59,990 before on-road costs. A panoramic roof is available for an additional $1,200, while a panoramic roof with two-tone paint costs an additional $2,400.

Meanwhile, Subaru has announced revised pricing for the MY26 Solterra and Trailseeker ranges, with cuts of between $2,000 and $4,000 depending on the model.
The Solterra AWD now starts at $61,990, down from $63,990, while the Solterra AWD Touring drops from $69,990 to $67,990. The larger Trailseeker AWD has been cut from $67,990 to $63,990, while the Trailseeker AWD Touring drops from $73,990 to $69,990 (all before on-roads).
The pricing moves suggest Subaru is trying to sharpen the value equation for its electric range as competition intensifies in the Australian EV market and competes for marketshare along with the likes of Tesla’s Model Y, Zeekr’s 7X, Renault’s Scenic e-tech, Hyundai’s Elexio, BYD’s Sealion 7, just to name a few.
The new Uncharted now becomes Subaru’s cheapest electric model in Australia, undercutting the revised Solterra AWD by $2,000 and the Trailseeker AWD by $4,000.
Pre-orders for the Subaru Uncharted are open now through authorised Subaru retailers and Subaru’s Australian website.
