New Getaway Means Subaru Has an Electric SUV in Every Size

Key Points:

• Subaru unveiled the 2027 Getaway SUV at the New York Auto Show, marking its fourth electric vehicle in four years and aligning with its strategy to offer EVs paralleling Toyota models with unique Subaru styling and features.
• The Getaway closely resembles the 2027 Toyota Highlander EV in size and design but is exclusively available as a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model with 420 horsepower, surpassing the Highlander's 338 horsepower, and uses the same 95.8-kWh battery.
• Subaru plans to offer a 77-kWh battery version in 2027 for a lower starting price, includes a NACS charging port compatible with Tesla Superchargers, and estimates a 10% to 80% charge time of about 30 minutes.
• Unique to Subaru, the Getaway features the X-Mode drive system for enhanced off-road capability with 8.3 inches of ground clearance, targeting buyers who expect to drive off pavement more often than Toyota customers.
• The interior mirrors the Highlander with six or seven seats, a 14-inch touchscreen, and standard Subaru EyeSight safety features; pricing is expected between $60,000 and $70,000, positioning the Getaway against rivals like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9.
