Subaru EV Lineup: Solterra vs. Trailseeker vs. Uncharted vs. Getaway
Which Subaru electric SUV is right for you?
Subaru now offers four distinct all-electric SUVs, each built around a different kind of driver and lifestyle.
- Solterra: Best for everyday AWD EV driving
- Trailseeker: Best for adventure, capability, and towing
- Uncharted: Best for compact size, sporty performance, and maximum range
- Getaway: Best for families, three-row seating, and maximum passenger and cargo space (coming soon!)
All four bring Subaru capability and safety into an electric platform, but the differences in size, range, passenger room, power, towing, and driving personality can make one a much better fit for your life than another.
Which Subaru EV Is Right for Me?
| Subaru EV | Best For | Available Range | Power | AWD | Ground Clearance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solterra | Everyday driving and first-time EV buyers | Up to 288 miles | Up to 338 hp | Standard | 8.3 in. |
| Trailseeker | Adventure, towing, and outdoor lifestyles | Up to 281 miles | 375 hp | Standard | 8.5 in. |
| Uncharted | Sporty driving, compact size, and range | Up to 308 miles | Up to 338 hp | Available | 8.2 in. |
| Getaway | Families, three rows, passengers, and cargo | Approx. 300 miles or more | 420 hp | Standard | 8.3 in. |
Specifications vary by trim and configuration. Range figures are estimates or manufacturer ratings and may vary with driving conditions, weather, charging habits, and vehicle configuration.
Why Subaru EVs Make Sense in Southern Oregon
Southern Oregon is a place where a vehicle can experience very different conditions in a single day.
A trip that begins on dry pavement in Medford can lead to rain in the Rogue Valley, colder temperatures in the mountains, snow at higher elevations, gravel roads, or a weekend trip toward the Oregon coast.
Subaru EVs are designed with those changing conditions in mind. Depending on model and trim, the lineup offers features such as Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE®, more than eight inches of ground clearance, battery preconditioning for cold-weather charging, and access to the Tesla Supercharger network through the North American Charging Standard.
That means choosing an EV no longer necessarily means giving up the capability many Southern Oregon drivers expect from a Subaru.
Subaru Solterra: The Everyday Electric SUV
The Solterra is the most familiar entry point into the Subaru EV lineup.
It combines standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with up to 288 miles of range, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and available output of up to 338 horsepower.
Fast-charging capability can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 28 minutes, and battery preconditioning helps optimize charging performance in colder weather.
For Southern Oregon drivers who want an EV for commuting, errands, everyday family use, and weekend travel without giving up standard AWD capability, the Solterra may be the most natural place to start.
Best for: Everyday driving, AWD confidence, value, and first-time EV ownership.
Subaru Trailseeker: The Adventure EV
The Trailseeker moves the Subaru EV formula toward outdoor recreation and greater capability.
Its standard dual-motor drivetrain produces 375 horsepower, while standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, dual-function X-MODE®, and 8.5 inches of ground clearance help prepare it for rougher roads and changing weather.
The Trailseeker offers up to 281 miles of range and can charge from 10% to 80% in about 28 minutes under appropriate fast-charging conditions.
It also offers up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, making it especially interesting for drivers who want to bring along small trailers, recreational equipment, or other gear.
For camping, trailheads, mountain roads, snow, forest access roads, and the kind of outdoor lifestyle that makes Southern Oregon special, the Trailseeker makes a compelling case.
Best for: Adventure, towing, outdoor recreation, and maximum EV capability.
Subaru Uncharted: The Sporty, Long-Range Choice
The Uncharted takes a different approach.
It is the most compact and sport-oriented member of the Subaru EV family, with fastback styling, agile handling, and an available range of up to 308 miles.
Depending on trim, the Uncharted offers up to 338 horsepower and available Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Ground clearance is 8.2 inches, preserving useful Subaru capability while keeping the vehicle relatively compact.
One important distinction is that the entry-level Uncharted is available with front-wheel drive, while Sport and GT trims add Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
That gives the Uncharted an interesting role in the lineup. It can appeal to someone who prioritizes efficiency and range, while AWD versions add the traction many Southern Oregon drivers prefer.
Best for: Long range, sporty driving, compact dimensions, and drivers who want a more performance-oriented EV.
Subaru Getaway: The Three-Row Family EV
The Getaway expands the Subaru EV lineup into territory the other three models do not cover.
It is Subaru's most spacious electric vehicle, offering three rows of seating for up to seven passengers and up to 80.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
A standard dual-motor electric drivetrain produces 420 horsepower, while standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, dual-function X-MODE®, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance provide the capability expected from a Subaru.
The Getaway also offers up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity and an available driving range of approximately 300 miles or more.
Fast-charging capability can take the battery from 10% to 80% in as little as approximately 30 minutes under appropriate conditions.
For families who want three rows, significant cargo room, towing capability, and all-electric driving without moving away from Subaru AWD capability, the Getaway fills an important new role.
Best for: Families, three-row seating, long trips, towing, and maximum passenger and cargo capacity.

Which Subaru EV Would I Choose for Southern Oregon?
There is no single best Subaru EV for everyone.
The right choice depends much more on how you actually use your vehicle.
If most of my driving involved commuting and everyday errands, I would start with the Solterra.
If weekends often meant camping, trailheads, mountain roads, or towing recreational equipment, the Trailseeker would move quickly to the top of my list.
If I wanted a smaller EV with a sporty personality and the most available range, I would look closely at the Uncharted.
And if I needed three rows, room for a family, significant cargo capacity, and towing capability, the Getaway would be the obvious place to start.
That is ultimately the advantage of Subaru expanding its electric lineup: choosing an EV is becoming less about whether an electric vehicle can fit your lifestyle and more about which electric Subaru fits it best.
