Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Toyota-based Solterra, Uncharted, Trailseeker, and Getaway keep Subaru in EV showrooms.
  • May 2026 price cuts improve competitiveness amid an incentive-heavy EV market.
  • National Park Foundation partnerships reinforce Subaru's outdoors identity and customer loyalty.

What critics are saying

  • The shelved in-house EV program cedes differentiation to Toyota and Chinese rivals.
  • $1.42 billion tariff hits and $362 million write-downs compress margins and delay investment.
  • Oizumi's gas-and-hybrid retooling signals weak EV conviction, hurting dealer and buyer confidence.

What makes Subaru unique

  • Subaru pairs rugged branding with Toyota-backed EVs and loyal outdoor-minded owners.
  • The Oizumi plant pivot preserves flexibility while deferring risky in-house EV capital spending.
  • Loyalty and Aftersales emphasis targets higher-margin recurring revenue beyond vehicle sales.

Japanese brand cuts $4000 off price of EVs.

Japanese brand cuts $4000 off price of EVs. By Dom Tripolone Updated May 13 2026 - 8:02pm, first published 8:00pm The expanding electric car price war has a new entrant. Subaru has just announced it has slashed thousands off the price of its Solterra and Trailseeker electric SUVs. The Solterra range now kicks off at $61,990 (before on-road costs) for the base variant, a reduction of $2000. The range-topping Touring grade gets a similar price cut to $67,990. Subaru already cut the price of the Solterra by $6000 late last year, while adding improvements. The regular Solterra has a driving range of 566km and the Touring 517km. Both use a dual-motor setup that delivers all-wheel-drive grip and pumps out 252kW and 337Nm. Subaru's big five-seat all-wheel-drive Trailseeker EV has had $4000 ripped off the price tag before it has even gone on sale. Subaru's website is still asking for expressions of interest for the Trailseeker. 2026 Subaru Trailseeker The Trailseeker now starts at $63,990, and rises to $69,990 for the Touring grade. It brings dual-motor grunt, which delivers Subaru's trademark all-wheel-drive grip. The two electric motors combine for 280kW and 537Nm (according to US versions), which allow it to sprint to 100km/h from a standstill in about 4.5 seconds. 2026 Subaru Trailseeker At its heart is a circa-75kWh battery that delivers 533km of driving range in the base version and 488km in the Touring. The prices are effective from May 14th and Subaru urges customers who have already placed an order to contact their dealer to see if the update applies to them. Subaru also announced the arrival of its Uncharted compact electric SUV, which is its cheapest EV at $59,990. 2026 Subaru Solterra All three SUVs have been co-developed with Toyota, with the bZ4X the equivalent of the Solterra and the Trailseeker and Uncharted are the twin to the bZ4X Touring and C-HR+ EV. The latter is not on sale in Australia yet, but has been confirmed for launch here in 2027. Subaru isn't alone in rushing to sell EVs, with Hyundai, Cadillac, Volvo and Zeekr all cutting the price of some of their electric cars in recent months. A wave of new Chinese models, such as the GWM Ora 5, MG4 Urban and BYD Atto 1, are all lowering the entry price to electric motoring, which is forcing other makers to be more competitive. 2026 Subaru Trailseeker Subaru's electric vehicle sales are flat compared to rivals, with the Solterra moving just 324 units through the first four months of the year. Tesla's Model Y is the best-selling EV so far this year with more than 6700 finding a new home. * Model, Old Price (before on-road costs), New Price (before on-road costs) * Subaru Uncharted, NA, $59,990 * Subaru Solterra, $63,990, $61,990 * Subaru Solterra Touring, $69,990, $67,990 * Subaru Trailseeker, $67,990, $63,990 * Subaru Trailseeker Touring, $73,990, $69,990

Championship leaders Travis Pastrana and co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino will campaign the Subaru WRX ARA25L as they look to build on their strong start to the season. Carrying momentum from their victory at the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood, the team now turns to one of the most demanding events on the ARA calendar. Olympus features more than 200 stage miles and 1,250 feet of elevation change across 18 stages and three days of competition on the tight, technical roads of Washington's forests. Extreme sports legend Pastrana describes Olympus as "an extremely technical and fun rally. It feels like a British Championship rally, with fog and rain likely." "This event always has some of the trickiest conditions in the USA," Gelsomino added. "You never quite know what weather you'll get. It's the type of rally that tests everything, technical sections, fast sections, a huge mix of conditions." Adding to the challenge, the Limited 4-Wheel Drive ARA25L will compete against a record field of 10 Rally2 entries - the championship's top class - including WRC veteran Jari-Matti Latvala, ex-Subaru champion and friend of the team Brandon Semenuk, and five-time Mexican national champion Ricardo Cordero. "Latvala coming over, along with the return of some top drivers, should make this rally extremely entertaining, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out," Pastrana said. "Travis and I go into this one leading the championship, but rallies like this don't give you anything easy," Gelsomino said. The 2026 Olympus Rally marks the longest event of the ARA season, with a full three days of competition ahead.

Subaru teases powerful new electric SUV ahead of 2026 NY Auto Show.

Subaru teases powerful new electric SUV ahead of 2026 NY Auto Show. Subaru is accelerating its transition to electrification at a surprising pace. After years of lagging behind rivals, the Japanese automaker is quickly building out a growing EV lineup - and its next model could be the most significant yet. Set to debut at the New York International Auto Show, Subaru's newest electric SUV has been previewed through a single teaser image and a handful of intriguing details. A familiar yet evolved EV design. The teaser image shows a shadowy SUV driving along a coastal road at sunrise or sunset, revealing just enough to spark interest. The new model appears to adopt Subaru's evolving EV design language, including its signature six-pod daytime running lights - already seen on models like the Subaru Solterra, Subaru Uncharted, and Subaru Trailseeker. Other visible cues include an illuminated front logo and roof rails, reinforcing the brand's outdoors-focused identity. The overall silhouette suggests a traditional two-box SUV shape, with little doubt that Subaru is sticking to its rugged roots. 420 HP and standard all-wheel drive. Subaru has confirmed that the new EV will feature standard all-wheel drive, a hallmark of the brand's lineup. This implies a dual-motor setup, delivering a combined 420 horsepower - making it the most powerful production Subaru ever built. This performance figure not only puts it ahead of current Subaru offerings but also positions it competitively within the electric SUV segment, where power and capability are key selling points. Subaru's first three-row EV? While Subaru has yet to confirm full specifications, hints in the announcement suggest this could be a family-focused vehicle with seating for more than five passengers. That strongly points toward a three-row configuration. If true, it would fill a major gap in Subaru's EV strategy. The current electric lineup mirrors much of its combustion range: - The Uncharted aligns with the Crosstrek - The Trailseeker parallels the Outback (even marketed as the E-Outback in some regions) - The Solterra sits close to the Forester That leaves only the Ascent - the brand's three-row SUV - without an electric counterpart. This upcoming model could finally complete that puzzle. Adding weight to this theory, Subaru's partner Toyota recently introduced a three-row electric SUV of its own, signaling a shared development direction between the two companies. Full reveal just around the corner. All questions - including the model's name, range, and interior details - will be answered during its global debut at the 2026 New York Auto Show. With strong performance, standard AWD, and the possibility of three-row practicality, Subaru's next EV could mark a major turning point for the brand in the electric era.
