The most powerful production Subaru ever has arrived as the 2027 Subaru Getaway, a three-row electric SUV that shares its underpinnings with the Toyota Highlander EV. But while the Toyota produces 388 horsepower, Subaru's take on the electric family SUV puts out an impressive 420 hp. That power goes to all four corners (19-inch wheels in front and 20s at the back) through a dual-motor setup, regardless of trim, and enables 0-60 mph in under five seconds. It also allows the Getaway to tow up to 3,500 lbs, and when the 95.8 kWh battery is depleted, a standard NACS-compatible charging port can refill it at up to 150 kW, enough to go from 10-80 percent in around 30 minutes. When full, Subaru claims over 300 miles of range on a single charge.
2027 Subaru Getaway: Seven Seats, Plenty of Space

Subaru says it chose this name to "highlight the SUV's family-friendly versatility and utility," and with seven seats and 8.3 inches of ground clearance (plus Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with X-Mode), it should be a decent companion for adventures. Of course, not everyone needs that many seats, so while the Getaway can be had with a second-row bench seat, the standard configuration has captain's chairs in the second row. Either way, the area behind the third row delivers 15.9 cubic feet of cargo volume. Subaru says six-footers will fit in any row comfortably, and when that space is needed to carry cargo, the second-row seats fold at the touch of a button. Fold the third row and keep the second row in place, and Subaru boasts that you get more space than in a Kia EV9 (one of the best vehicles in this segment), with 45.6 cubes behind the captain's chairs or bench.

All seats get cup and bottle holders alongside USB-C charging ports, and the three-zone climate control has dedicated third-row vents to keep everyone comfortable. Speaking of, Subaru provides heated front seats as standard, while some trims will also get heated second- and third-row seats and ventilated front and second-row seats, along with a heated steering wheel. The SUV should also feel spacious, thanks to the availability of a fixed panoramic sunroof.
2027 Subaru Getaway Tech

Up front, a 14-inch touchscreen is accompanied by a 12.3-inch driver cluster and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A pair of wireless smartphone chargers is also available, and the Getaway offers customizable ambient lighting. As usual, Subaru's EyeSight driver aids are included, with pre-collision braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, emergency stop assist, lane-change assist, adaptive cruise control, and more. Because the SUV is so long, it also makes sense to include a digital rearview mirror, though this won't be available on every trim.
Subaru's fourth EV (following the Solterra, Uncharted, and Trailseeker) arrives at the end of 2026, and in 2027, a standard-range version with a smaller 77 kWh battery will arrive. As with most new cars revealed in New York this week, more specific details, trim levels, and pricing will follow closer to the launch.
