​Today at the New York International Auto Show, Subaru announced its first three-row electric SUV: the Getaway. Like Subaru’s other EVs, the Getaway is based on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform and it shares many features and specs with the 2027 Highlander EV. Initially, all models will come with the company’s Symmetrical all-wheel drive system, 420 horsepower and a native NACS-compatible charging port. That said, charging speeds don’t look especially impressive as the Getaway’s estimated 150kW system is expected to refill its battery from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. The first batch of Getaways will arrive late this year as 2027 models featuring a 95.8kWh battery that Subaru says will provide more than 300 miles of range on a single charge and a zero to 60 time of under five seconds. It will also come with preconditioning tech to help maintain charging speeds in cold weather (down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit). Then later in the first half of 2027, Subaru will release a standard-range model with a 77kWh power pack and AWD. The EV SUV offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance while its X-Mode system provides settings for Snow/Dirt, Deep Snow/Mud, Grip control and Downhill Assist along with a tow rating of up to 3,500 pounds. The Getaway’s infotainment system is based around a 14-inch touchscreen with support for both Android Auto and CarPlay.SubaruOn the inside, the Getaway will offer seating for up to seven people by way of a second-row bench, though if you don’t mind dropping the passenger count to six, you can also opt for two captain’s chairs. Its infotainment system is based around a 14-inch touchscreen with support for both wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the driver gets a secondary 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. As you’d expect from a Subaru, the Getaway also comes with a lot of outdoorsy features like ladder-type roof rails on “most” trims, plus the option of 19 or 20-inch wheels and up to 45.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the third row seats folded down. Heated front seats will also come standard, with the ability to upgrade to ventilated seats in the first two rows and a heated steering wheel on more premium trims. Subaru claims the Getaway has more cargo space than a Kia EV 9 with the third row folded. SubaruIn the end, while the Getaway might not be the most original EV SUV due to its similarities to Toyota’s upcoming Highlander EV, for any Subaru fans with larger families, this vehicle could be just what they need to make the jump from gas to electric. Specific details on pricing and trim levels are expected closer to the Getaway’s official release date in late 2026. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/the-getaway-is-subarus-first-three-row-electric-suv-142500177.html?src=rss
