Not to be confused with the movie and video game of the same name, Subaru has announced its third – and potentially cheapest – electric car for Australia.

Subaru has confirmed the Uncharted electric SUV for Australian showrooms in the middle of this year, as its smallest battery-powered model yet.
It will be the third Subaru electric car sold in Australia, after the Solterra mid-size SUV and Trailseeker high-riding wagon, and is the sibling to the Toyota C-HR BEV due locally 12 months later, in mid-2027.
Prices are yet to be confirmed, but the Uncharted is likely to undercut the larger Solterra, which starts from $63,990 plus on-road costs.
It will be powered by dual electric motors for all-wheel drive and a claimed 252kW, claimed to enable a zero to 100km/h acceleration time of five seconds. A front-wheel-drive version sold overseas won't be offered in Australia.
It uses a 74.7kWh CATL battery, which contributes to a 522km WLTP electric driving range rating and will support up to 150kW DC fast charging for a 10 to 80 per cent recharge in approximately 30 minutes.
It can also be charged at home, thanks to 22kW three-phase AC charging.
The Uncharted is offered with 1500-watt vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, allowing the battery pack to power external devices such as tools and camping equipment.
It is based on similar underpinnings to the Solterra and Trailseeker, but the Uncharted rides on a shorter wheelbase with sportier bodywork, unique 20‑inch alloy wheels, and a brighter colour palette.
Inside, it features a 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless phone charging, and a suite of advanced features, including blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera and driver monitoring system.
Subaru says the Uncharted is due to arrive locally in the middle of the year, with pricing and final specifications to be revealed closer to launch.
