Segment
Mid SUV
Subaru's first EV — Toyota bZ4X's twin under the skin, but UK-spec gets dual-motor AWD only (the Subaru way). 71.4 kWh pack until the 2025 facelift bumped it to 74.7 kWh and added X-MODE off-road traction modes. Co-developed with Toyota on the e-TNGA platform; same recall and same range gap to rivals. Pricier than the bZ4X for what is essentially the same car with a different badge — Subaru loyalty buy only.
