- The Subaru Getaway is an all-new vehicle for 2027.
- 420 horsepower, and 0-60 in under 5 seconds.
- More than 300 miles of all-electric range.
At the 2026 New York International Auto Show, Subaru showed off its all-new, fully electric 3-row 2027 Subaru Getaway offering 420 horsepower and more than 300 miles of all-electric range.
While it’s a closely related sibling to the 2027 Toyota Highlander EV, it’s quicker to 60 mph, more powerful than the Toyota, and gets standard all-wheel drive across the line up.
The new Getaway offers plenty of room for up to seven passengers, whether you’re tackling a run to the grocery store or headed out for some light off-roading. Subaru says that it’s the company’s “most powerful” production vehicle yet and that it does zero to 60 mph in under 5 seconds.
At launch the Getaway will come in three trims: Premium, Limited, and Touring.
Powertrain and Stats
Subaru has been working with Toyota to build four EVs since 2024, with the goal of releasing them all by 2026. The Getaway is one of those EVs, sharing the same underpinnings with the Toyota Highlander EV.
The Subaru Getaway gets a dual-motor setup and shares some design cues and dimensions with the Highlander EV, but that’s largely where the similarities stop. Size-wise, the Getaway is two inches longer and wider than the Subaru Ascent, Subaru’s largest gasoline powered offering.
The Getaway packs an additional 100 horsepower over its Highlander brethren, for a total of 420 hp, with either a standard range 77 kWh or a larger 95.8 kWh battery pack nestled under the floor. The Getaway will debut with the larger battery pack when it arrives in late 2026, and details on the shorter-range Getaway will arrive in early 2027, when it goes on sale.
Subaru says the Getaway will get more than 300 miles of range with the bigger battery pack and come standard with a NACS charging port, making it easy to charge on the Tesla Supercharger Network and recharge to 80% (on 150kW chargers) in about 30 minutes.
It will come with Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly outfitted. It has 8.3-inches of ground clearance making it, like other Subarus, suitable for some light soft-roading. Five drive modes are available, including Snow/Dirt, Deep Snow/Mud Modes, grip control, and downhill assist control as well as a customizable individual mode.
Tech and Safety
As standard, the Getaway will come with a 14-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with wireless integration and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. You also get a pair of 15W smartphone chargers for the driver and front-seat passenger, plus four USB-C charging ports for passengers in the rear. It will also come with ambient lighting that changes with the selected drive mode.
The Getaway also gets Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance suite as standard, which includes pre-collision braking, blind-spot monitor, lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control, Traffic Jam Assist, emergency stop assist, and more. Additional options include front cross-traffic alert, intelligent park assist, and a digital rearview mirror.
Interior and Features
Inside is plenty of room for up to seven passengers as the Getaway comes with either a second-row bench seat (for seating seven) or a pair of captain’s chairs (reducing passenger count to six), depending on trim level.
The second row gets one-touch folding seats and a power folding third row, offering up to 45.6 cubic feet of cargo space, which is more than the Ascent’s 43.5 cubic feet. Behind the third row is 15.9 cubic feet of cargo room, which is slightly less than the Ascent’s 17.8. Competitors like the Kia EV9 get more rear cargo space behind that third row than the Subaru Getaway. With both rows folded, there’s a voluminous 80.6 cubic feet, handily beating the Ascent’s 75.6. That’s just shy of the EV9’s 81.7 cubic feet.
It wouldn’t be a Subaru without loads of cup holders (much like the Ascent), a 3-zone climate control system with third row vents, and an available panoramic roof.
While we don’t have all the details and specs yet, we do know that at the Limited and Touring trims, you get the addition of second- and third-row heated seating and ventilated second row seating, plus a 360-view camera. The top-line Touring trim seats six passengers, gets an upgraded Harman Kardon audio system, Nappa leather interior, and a digital rearview mirror.
On the exterior, you get daytime running lights that indicate charging status when the Getaway is plugged in. You also get ladder-type roof rails as standard on Limited and Touring trims, with flush door handles and 19- or 20-inch wheels as standard depending on trim levels.
Should You Wait for the Subaru Getaway?
Depending on configuration, you’ll have to wait until late 2026 or early 2027 to actually get your hands on a new Getaway, and there are plenty of other really good electric SUVs on the market right now. If you’re in the market for an electric SUV now, you could opt for a Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Volvo EX90, Lucid Gravity, Rivian R1S, and the Tesla Model Y.
If you’re interested in the new Getaway, stay tuned, as pricing and more detailed specs will be released closer to the Getaway’s market launch in late 2026.
