If you have been waiting for Subaru to go all-in on a family-sized EV that does not compromise on the brand’s rugged, go-anywhere DNA, your patience just paid off. Unveiled at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, the all-new, all-electric 2027 Subaru Getaway is making a massive entrance.
As the flagship fourth vehicle in Subaru’s growing electric portfolio – joining the Solterra, Trailseeker, and Uncharted; this three-row powerhouse is aiming directly at active families who want electric efficiency without losing the ability to head off the beaten path.

Serious Power and Real Off-Road Capability
Do not let the family hauler label fool you; this is the most powerful production Subaru ever built. Equipped with high-output electric motors on both the front and rear axles, it cranks out a whopping 420 horsepower.
Here are the performance highlights that stand out:
- Electrifying Speed: It launches from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds.
- Legendary Traction: Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard on all trims.
- Best-in-Class Ground Clearance: You get a solid 8.3 inches of clearance, matching the off-road-ready Solterra.
- Advanced Grip: The X-MODE Dual-Mode System is standard, featuring Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings, plus Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control for technical descents.
- Towing Power: It is rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds, perfect for small campers or trailers.
Range and Charging: The New NACS Standard
Subaru is addressing range anxiety head-on with a high-capacity 95.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that yields over 300 miles of range. For those seeking a more budget-friendly entry point, a standard-range model with a 77.0-kWh battery will join the lineup later in 2027.
The biggest news for road-trippers is the switch to a standard NACS (North American Charging Standard) port. This gives Getaway owners native access to more than 25,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America without needing an adapter.
- Fast Charging: Replenish from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes (up to 150 kW).
- Winter Ready: A standard on-board battery preconditioning system ensures charging speeds don’t lag in the cold, working efficiently down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
A Spacious, Family-Focused Interior
Inside, the Getaway is built for large families and heavy gear. Depending on the trim, you can choose a second-row bench (seven passengers) or captain’s chairs (six passengers). Subaru’s smart packaging ensures enough legroom for six-footers across all three rows.
How does the storage space stack up?
- Generous Third-Row Space: 15.9 cubic feet with all seats up.
- Class-Beating Capacity: Fold the third row for 45.6 cubic feet of cargo room—notably more volume than the rival Kia EV9.
- Adventure-Ready Exterior: Robust ladder-type roof rails come standard, allowing for heavy-duty roof racks and rooftop tents.
Tech and Styling That Stand Out
The Getaway features clean bodylines, flush door handles, and 19- or 20-inch wheels. The most striking detail is the new lighting signature: the daytime running lights double as a visual charging status indicator when the vehicle is plugged in.
The cabin balances modern tech with rugged utility:
- The Hub: A massive 14-inch multimedia touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
- Luxury Touches: Available ventilated front and second-row seats, a 360-degree heated steering wheel, and a massive panoramic sunroof.
- Safety First: The latest EyeSight suite is standard, featuring Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Change Assist.
Arriving Late 2026
While official pricing is still under wraps, the Getaway will sit at the top of the lineup above the Uncharted (which starts at $34,995). The 2027 Subaru Getaway will begin arriving at retailers nationwide in late 2026.
