JAKARTA - Subaru continues to accelerate its steps in the electric vehicle segment by preparing a battery-based three-row SUV. This new model is said to be one of the largest in their EV lineup, while strengthening the Japanese brand's position in the environmentally friendly vehicle market.
Launching from Carscoops, Wednesday, March 25, this latest electric car is planned to make its debut at the New York Auto Show. Although the launch schedule coincides with April Mop, Subaru ensures that the vehicle is not just a gimmick, but a real product that will soon be introduced to the public.
So far, the information shared is still limited. However, through the teaser released, the front is seen with a familiar design. The appearance style reminds of Solterra, Trailseeker, and Uncharted, with a separate main light feature and an emblem that can light up.
Other elements such as the roof rail and shark fin antenna also seem to emphasize its modern character. Interestingly, this electric SUV is said to have a connection with Toyota Highlander's platform, and will likely be developed from the same base.
For specifications, it is stated that Highlander carries two battery options with a capacity of 77 kWh and 95.8 kWh, with the option of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The FWD variant produces 221 hp (165 kW / 224 PS), while the AWD is capable of spitting out up to 338 hp (252 kW / 343 PS).
With this configuration, the mileage is estimated to be in the range of 270 to 320 miles (435 to 515 km). In terms of charging, this vehicle is expected to use the NACS port and support DC fast charging that can charge the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 30 minutes.
Subaru is also likely to include a 120V/240V dual-level charging cable as standard equipment. Entering the cabin, this electric SUV is predicted to carry a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel as well as a 14-inch infotainment screen.
The entertainment features are supported by a six-speaker audio system and ambient lighting with 64 color options that add a premium feel. As an indication of the launch time, the 2027 Toyota Highlander is scheduled to arrive at the end of this year, and it is not impossible that Subaru's latest electric SUV will be launched in the adjacent time frame.
