The 2027 Subaru Getaway is the brand’s most ambitious EV yet — an all-electric, three-row family SUV with 420 horsepower, standard all-wheel drive and more than 300 miles of range. It’s Subaru’s fourth electric model and its first proper three-row EV, slotting in above the Trailseeker as the new flagship of the lineup. Built on an electric platform co-developed with Toyota (it shares underpinnings with the Toyota Highlander EV, but Subaru tunes it to 420 hp versus Toyota’s 388 hp), the Getaway pairs genuine seven-seat practicality with Subaru’s trademark capability: 8.3 inches of ground clearance, dual-function X-Mode, a 3,500-lb towing rating, and a 0–60 mph time under 5.0 seconds. The long-range model goes on sale in late 2026, with a standard-range version following in the first half of 2027. Pricing is expected in the mid-to-upper $40,000 range.
Performance & Powertrain
Every Getaway is dual-motor — one electric motor on each axle for standard all-wheel drive — producing a combined 420 horsepower. Subaru quotes a 0–60 mph sprint of under 5.0 seconds, genuinely quick for a three-row family hauler, plus a 3,500-lb towing capacity. Two battery sizes are offered: the long-range 95.8 kWh pack (on sale first, late 2026) delivering over 300 miles, and a standard-range 77.0 kWh pack arriving in the first half of 2027. DC fast charging runs at up to 150 kW, taking the battery from 10–80% in about 30 minutes, and the Getaway ships with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port for native access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. Crucially for a Subaru, capability isn’t an afterthought: 8.3 inches of ground clearance and a dual-function X-Mode system (Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud, with Grip Control and Downhill Assist) keep it credible off the pavement.

At 5,050 mm long on a 3,050 mm wheelbase, the Getaway is a genuinely large three-row SUV — two inches longer and 2.3 inches wider than the gas Ascent, with a wheelbase stretched 6.3 inches over the related Solterra platform specifically to make the third row usable rather than token. Subaru says adults up to six feet can sit comfortably in all three rows. Configurations include a second-row bench for up to seven or captain’s chairs for six. Cargo is 15.9 cubic feet behind the third row, growing to 45.6 cubic feet with the third row folded — more than a Kia EV9 behind the third row, per Subaru. Roof rails are standard, and wheels come in 19- or 20-inch sizes.

Design, Interior & Technology
The Getaway wears Subaru’s latest EV design language — a clean, slab-sided three-row body with full-width front and rear light bars, body cladding and a floating-roof effect, shown here in a deep aubergine and a glossy black. Inside, the dashboard is dominated by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.0-inch central touchscreen, with 15-watt wireless phone charging, three-zone climate control, standard heated seats and an available ventilated front-seat and heated-steering-wheel package. As a family EV it leans on Subaru’s usability-first approach rather than gimmickry, and it carries the brand’s reliability halo: Subaru was named Consumer Reports’ Best Overall Automotive Brand for both 2025 and 2026.
How It Compares
Verdict
- 420 hp and sub-5.0s 0–60 — quick for a three-row family EV
- Real seven-seat space with a usable third row
- Standard AWD + 8.3-in clearance + X-Mode keep Subaru capability
- NACS port with native Tesla Supercharger access
- 3,500-lb towing, more than most three-row EVs
- Consumer Reports Best Brand 2025 & 2026 reliability halo
- 300+ miles is solid, not class-leading, for the segment
- 150 kW peak charging trails 800V rivals that hit 200kW+
- Closely related to the Toyota Highlander EV — limited Subaru exclusivity
- Final pricing, exact range and EPA figures not yet confirmed
- Standard-range model not out until H1 2027
- 8.3-in clearance is lower than Subaru’s Wilderness models
The 2027 Getaway is the three-row EV Subaru loyalists have been waiting for — and it arrives with more punch than expected. By tuning the Toyota-co-developed platform to 420 hp, keeping standard AWD, 8.3 inches of clearance and X-Mode, and adding a genuine seven-seat cabin with 3,500-lb towing and native NACS charging, Subaru has built a family EV that doesn’t abandon the brand’s rugged identity. It won’t out-range or out-charge the sharpest 800V rivals, and its close kinship to the Highlander EV means it isn’t wholly unique under the skin. But for the huge base of Subaru owners who want to go electric without giving up space, capability or the brand’s reliability reputation, the Getaway looks like the natural next step — especially if the mid-to-upper-$40k pricing holds when it lands in late 2026.
