2026 Subaru Uncharted Teased: Full Reveal Next Week

Because you can't spell "Uncharted" without "C-HR"...

Subaru is teasing its third all-electric model ahead of a mid-July debut. Dubbed the Uncharted—with no tie-in to the popular Sony PlayStation franchise in sight—we know very little about the EV, other than it will debut a week from now on July 17. Except, well... we might already know quite a bit.

The teaser image above shows the newest Subaru doing Subaru things, kicking up dirt on a trail. We can While it doesn't give a whole lot away, it's clear that there are two little baby spoilers on the outer edges of the roof—just like the recently revived Toyota C-HR. Zoom in, as we did below, and you'll see the same shoulder line kink, tiny lip spoiler, and perfectly straight vertical shutlines of the Toyota, too.

This isn't exactly a new concept for the two Japanese brands. The original bZ4X and Solterra were obvious siblings, and the upcoming Trailseeker and bZ Woodland are two takes on the electrified-wagon-SUV idea. When Toyota revealed the C-HR earlier this year, we wondered if Subaru would get its own version down the road... or, er, trail.

And look, just because it's likely to share a shape with a Toyota, doesn't mean the Uncharted won't be different. As a refresher: the '26 C-HR will come only with the larger, 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery pack, a standard NACS port, and a dual-motor setup good for 338 horsepower. Range is estimated at 290 miles (467 kilometers).

Again, we're just guessing here, based on the one teaser image. Perhaps Subaru will lean into a more rugged feel for its smallest EV SUV, to distance it from its cousin? Whatever it does, we'll find out next week—and AutoGuide will be there, so stay tuned.
