Subaru is cooking up a brand new electrical crossover. And now, we all know what it will be known as: Uncharted. Sadly, the identify was doubtless chosen to exude a way of journey and ruggedness, relatively than to pay tribute to the superb Uncharted online game collection revealed by Sony. Both means, the compact SUV’s debut is strictly one week away, and a teaser photograph suggests it may share a platform with a Toyota EV.

The Japanese carmaker launched a single picture of the Uncharted, removed from the digicam and shrouded in mud. However the rear finish’s proportions look suspiciously just like one other new EV from Japan: The Toyota C-HR. Although the picture is not very revealing, the dual-mini spoilers sprouting from the roof and the primary spoiler on high of the trunk lid appear to match up completely. And whereas the taillight bar is formed in a different way, the sunshine sample itself seems related.

Subaru has but to substantiate any of this, in fact. However the tie-up is sensible. Subaru and Toyota already work collectively to provide the bZ4X and the Solterra, two electrical crossovers that share a platform and far of their design. A rumor from October 2024 stated the 2 manufacturers had been teaming up as soon as once more to construct one other electrical crossover. And judging by the form of the Uncharted, it seems like that rumor is true.

If the 2 vehicles share a platform, the Uncharted will doubtless use the C-HR’s 74.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack and twin electrical motors, rated within the Toyota at 338 horsepower, with an estimated vary of 290 miles. We suspect Subaru may have its means with styling, because it did with the Solterra, which may have a small impact on remaining vary numbers.

The Uncharted would be the third EV in Subaru’s lineup, following the Solterra and the Trailseeker. Whether or not it is associated to the C-HR or not, it ought to make the compact electrical crossover section much more fascinating.

With a worldwide debut scheduled for July 17 and seven:30 PM ET, we cannot have to attend lengthy to see it totally revealed.
