Written by- It’s not just fast for a Subaru. With 376 horsepower and a launch that outpaces the Ferrari 360 Modena to 62 mph (4.4 seconds), the E-Outback brings some real heat to the EV game.
- Up to 279 miles of range from a 74.7kWh battery, with dual motors and Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive. Charges from 10 to 80% in under 35 minutes at up to 150kW.
- Comes with X-Mode, 210 mm of ground clearance, and a smooth flat underbody for off-road confidence.
- Big cargo space (slightly more than the Solterra, about the same as the Outback), and it can tow up to 1,588 kg — so it’s built for real family adventures too.
The Subaru Outback Goes Electric With Power and Purpose
Subaru is done testing the EV waters. The new E-Outback is coming to the UK in mid-2026, and it’s not just an electric Outback in name. It’s fast, roomy, trail-ready, and still very much a Subaru. If you wanted an electric car that can handle the rough stuff and smoke a sports car at a red light, this is it.
It was first introduced in the U.S. as the Trailseeker, but it’s coming to Europe with the E-Outback name. While it’s built on similar bones as Toyota’s bZ4X Touring, this version carries real Subaru hardware and intent.
Fast Enough to Surprise a Supercar
This thing makes 376 horsepower from dual electric motors and goes from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.4 seconds. That’s quicker than a Ferrari 360 Modena. It’s not just fast for a wagon. It’s fast, period.
It uses a 74.7 kilowatt-hour battery which gives it a claimed 279-mile range (pending official WLTP testing). And with 150kW charging support, you can juice up from 10 to 80 percent in about 35 minutes. That’s enough time to grab a coffee and hit the road again.
Off-Road Friendly Just Like a Real Subaru
Subaru didn’t ditch its roots. The E-Outback comes with full-time symmetrical all-wheel drive, Subaru’s X-Mode terrain system, and a ground clearance of 210 millimeters — that’s more than some crossovers.
It can also tow up to 1,588 kilograms. So whether you’re hauling bikes, a small camper or your kid’s race kart trailer, this wagon won’t flinch.
Cabin Is Familiar but Packed With Tech
Inside, the E-Outback feels like a modern Subaru should. It shares some layout with the Toyota bZ4X Touring but adds Subaru’s own style and tech. The main screen is a wide 14-inch display, and all the key safety gear is there.
You get EyeSight assist systems like adaptive cruise, blind spot monitoring, and lane keep. It’s also got more usable space than the Solterra, so you’re not sacrificing storage like in some other EVs.
When Is It Coming and Where It Fits
Subaru says the E-Outback will launch in the UK in mid-2026. It’ll sit above the Solterra in the lineup and likely cost more, too. This is part of a bigger EV push from the brand, which also includes a refreshed Solterra and the new Uncharted crossover.
Importantly, most of the parts and development are Subaru’s own. About 70 percent of the E-Outback’s components are in-house, meaning it’s not just a Toyota rebadge job. That should help keep the Subaru character intact.
Final Thoughts
The Subaru E-Outback isn’t just another electric crossover. It’s quick, it’s practical, and it’s built to handle the kind of adventures Subarus are known for. If you want an electric wagon that can haul, climb, and keep up with sports cars, this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Honestly, I’m just glad Subaru made an EV that still feels like a Subaru. I’d take this over a Model Y or bZ4X any day. What about you? Drop your pick in the comments.
