Subaru has announced pricing for the 2026 Uncharted EV, starting at $34,995 before destination fees.

Why it matters: The Uncharted becomes Subaru’s most affordable EV as competitors slash prices and automakers abandon electric models amid post-subsidy market pressures.

EVXL’s Take

Subaru’s pricing undercuts the Chevy Equinox EV and matches the new Nissan Leaf in the increasingly crowded sub-$35,000 EV segment. The 300-mile range on the base model is competitive, though buyers wanting AWD will sacrifice 15 miles of range and pay $4,800 more. The limited availability of the FWD model suggests Subaru expects most buyers to opt for pricier AWD trims.

When EVXL covered the Uncharted’s debut in July, Subaru emphasized it wasn’t abandoning EVs despite industry headwinds. This pricing proves that commitment, delivering genuine value in a market where competitors are either raising prices or killing models entirely. Whether Subaru can produce enough FWD models to meet demand at that attractive price point remains the key question.
