Subaru’s Electric Outback Is Here: Faster Than You Think

Subaru is officially bringing its electrified outdoor icon to Europe with the debut of the all-new E-Outback. This electric crossover estate is not just another adaptation—it is built to carry the true spirit of the Outback into the electric future. From its rugged design to its off-road-ready capabilities, Subaru has stayed true to what made the Outback a staple for adventurous drivers, while adding modern tech and impressive electric power.

At the heart of the E-Outback is a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that produces approximately 375 horsepower, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from zero to sixty-two miles per hour in around 4.4 seconds. Power comes from a 74.7 kilowatt-hour battery, giving the E-Outback an estimated driving range of up to 279 miles on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure cycle, though official certification is still pending. When it is time to recharge, the E-Outback supports up to 150 kilowatt direct current fast charging, topping up from ten percent to eighty percent in under 35 minutes.

True to its roots, the E-Outback includes Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and dual X-Mode terrain management, allowing it to handle snow, dirt, and muddy off-road trails with confidence. The 210 millimeter ground clearance and a towing capacity of around 1,500 kilograms keep it versatile and capable for road trips and outdoor adventures.

The design continues Subaru’s rugged theme with durable black cladding, functional roof rails, and silver skid plates. Inside, the cabin brings a modern feel with a large 14-inch infotainment touchscreen, smartphone connectivity, and Subaru’s latest EyeSight safety suite. Cargo space is also a highlight, with room to easily accommodate four full-sized suitcases, making it more practical than many compact electric SUVs.

Set to launch across Europe in early 2026, the E-Outback will join the Solterra and the upcoming Uncharted in Subaru’s expanding electric vehicle lineup. With its own platform and independent engineering—not just a rebadged Toyota—the E-Outback stands out as a truly Subaru-developed electric car. It signals the company’s commitment to electrification while preserving everything drivers love about the brand: confidence, capability, and reliability in any condition.
