Subaru is back in the game
Subaru has revealed pricing for its new electric crossover, the Uncharted. The starting price is 139,980 PLN. Cheap, as electric cars go, right? The Uncharted offers over 480 km of range and up to 338 horsepower. That may sound impressive, but let's be honest – it's still no Formula 1 car.
Specs with a twist
Subaru improved on what the Solterra had to offer (which wasn't much), and is now bringing not one but two new models to market. We recently learned the details of the Trailseeker – more wagon than SUV. Now it's time for the Uncharted, its younger sibling.
On paper, this is a great proposition for those who want to jump on the electric carousel. Has Subaru found the sweet spot?
What can we afford?
The front-wheel-drive Uncharted delivers 221 hp, while the all-wheel-drive version delivers up to 338 hp. That's more than the Hyundai Kona EV or the Kia Niro EV. Looking at the competition, the Hyundai starts at around 132,000 PLN with 320 km of range. The Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5 compete with the Uncharted in the same price bracket, but their range is only 360 km. The Ioniq 5 has 168 hp? That's like riding a moped in a motorcycle race.
A new era or another myth?
The Chevy Equinox EV won the "Breakthrough EV of the Year" award at 139,980 PLN and 514 km of range. The 2026 Nissan Leaf beats that, offering 480 km for just over 120,000 PLN. Subaru is joining the race, meaning more quality, affordable EVs on the American market.
The fight for lower EV prices is on, and Subaru seems to know that taking electric cars seriously isn't just a trend – it's the future.
Will that be enough to conquer the market? Well, it's like trying to win the Dakar Rally on a bicycle – possible, but not easy.
