Subaru Getaway: Three-row electric SUV debuts at New York Auto Show
Subaru has taken the wraps off its largest and most powerful production vehicle to date. The 2027 Getaway, a three-row electric SUV, made its world premiere at the 2026 New York International Auto Show on April 1. It is the fourth fully electric model in the Subaru lineup, following the Solterra, Uncharted, and Trailseeker.
The Getaway is built on Toyota's TNGA-K platform — the same architecture that underpins the Toyota Highlander AWD 95.8 kWh. That platform choice places it squarely in the mid-size three-row segment, where it will compete with the Kia EV9 Long Range AWD, Hyundai IONIQ 9 AWD Long Range, Lucid Gravity Touring, and Cadillac VISTIQ AWD.
Platform and dimensions
The Getaway rides on the TNGA-K platform, which is an EV-only architecture co-developed with Toyota. The SUV measures 5,050 mm in length with a 3,051 mm wheelbase and stands 1,709 mm tall. Ground clearance is 8.3 inches (211 mm), which places it near the top of its class for off-pavement capability — a priority for any Subaru.
The long wheelbase enables a genuine three-row interior. Subaru says all three rows can accommodate six-foot passengers, with seating for six in captain's-chair configuration or seven with the second-row bench.
Powertrain and performance
The Subaru Getaway AWD 95.8 kWh pairs front and rear electric motors for a combined 420 hp (313 kW) with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Subaru quotes a 0–60 mph time of under five seconds.
Towing capacity is rated at up to 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg). The drivetrain includes five selectable drive modes and X-MODE with a dual-mode system covering Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings, along with Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control.
Battery and charging
At launch in late 2026, the Getaway will be offered exclusively with a 95.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack using NMC chemistry and a usable capacity of 90 kWh. Subaru claims a range of more than 300 miles on a single charge.
A smaller 77.0 kWh battery option has been confirmed for the first half of 2027. Range figures for that variant have not been disclosed.
Charging uses a standard NACS port, giving access to the Tesla Supercharger network across North America. Maximum DC fast charging speed is 150 kW, and Subaru quotes a 10–80% charge time of approximately 30 minutes. A heat pump is standard across all trims, and battery preconditioning works down to -10°C (14°F).
Interior and technology
The cabin follows a functional layout with what Subaru describes as high-quality materials. The standard interior uses black SofTex leatherette. The center console is a split-level design.
Standard equipment includes a 14-inch central touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and three-zone climate control with dedicated third-row vents. Multicolor ambient lighting runs through the footwells, across the dashboard, and along the door panels.
The second row offers one-touch folding, while the third row folds electrically. Cargo capacity behind the third row is 15.9 cubic feet, expanding to 45.6 cubic feet with the third row folded.
Other available features include two 15W wireless phone chargers, USB-C ports throughout the cabin, and a panoramic sunroof.
Trim levels
The Getaway launches with three trims: Premium, Limited, and Touring.
The base Premium comes with heated front seats, the full EyeSight suite, three-zone climate, and the 14-inch touchscreen. The Limited adds a heated steering wheel, heated second- and third-row seats, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, and the option of a panoramic sunroof. The Touring tops the range with standard panoramic sunroof, a digital rearview mirror, 20-inch wheels, Nappa leather, and a Harman Kardon sound system.
All trims get an illuminated six-star Subaru logo, dynamic daytime running lights that double as a charge-status indicator, flush door handles, and three-dimensional illuminated SUBARU lettering at the rear.
Driver assistance
The full EyeSight suite is standard on every Getaway. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, automatic emergency braking, automatic emergency steering, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, drowsiness alert, exit warning, traffic sign recognition, and hill descent assist.
Higher trims add Traffic Jam Assist with lane-change assist, intelligent park assist with remote parking, and front cross-traffic alert. The sensor setup consists of cameras, front long-range radar, corner mid-range radars, and twelve ultrasonic sensors.
Pricing and availability
Subaru has not announced pricing. The Getaway will be available in the United States and Canada, with sales beginning in late 2026. The long-range 95.8 kWh variant arrives first, followed by the standard-range 77.0 kWh model in the first half of 2027.
Given its positioning on the TNGA-K platform and the competitive set — Kia EV9 Long Range AWD, Hyundai IONIQ 9 AWD Long Range, Toyota Highlander AWD 95.8 kWh — pricing somewhere in the $55,000–$70,000 range would be a reasonable expectation, though Subaru has said nothing official on this point.
Where it fits
The Getaway fills an obvious gap in Subaru's EV lineup: a family-sized vehicle with real third-row space. Its closest relative is the Toyota Highlander EV, which shares its platform and battery options. The differentiation will come down to Subaru's tuning of the all-wheel drive system, the X-MODE off-road features, and whatever pricing separation exists between the two.
In the broader market, it enters a segment that has filled up quickly. The Kia EV9 and Hyundai IONIQ 9 are already established, and the Lucid Gravity and Cadillac VISTIQ sit at higher price points. Whether the Getaway can carve out space will depend heavily on its final pricing and on how effectively the Subaru brand — with its loyal outdoor-oriented customer base — translates to the EV segment.
