Subaru just got serious about its EV game in Australia, with pricing for its new Uncharted small SUV released. 

It will start from $59,990, making it $2000 cheaper than its mid-size Solterra electric sibling. 

The Uncharted will take on popular, but cheaper rivals in the segment such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Kia EV3

The Uncharted comes as standard with an all-wheel drive system as opposed to the front-wheel drive exclusive Kona and EV3. 

The 211mm of ground clearance on the Subaru aids the car’s all-terrain capabilities further. 

Its dual electric motor set-up produces 252kW to offer a sharp 0-100km/h time of five seconds. 

It is equipped with a 75kWh battery and a total driving range of 522km, according to WLTP standards. 

It takes roughly half-an-hour to charge from 10-80 per cent at DC speeds. It also supports vehicle-to-load, allowing for external appliances to be powered through the car’s battery.

The car’s interior boasts a 14.0-inch central touchscreen and 7.0-inch digital driver display, along with dual wireless phone chargers. 

The Uncharted is the latest in a sustained EV push from Subaru with the Trailseeker large SUV also on sale.  

More EVs will help the brand fight off potential fines, following the first performance period of the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES), where Subaru incurred the third-most penalties of any brand. 

Pre-orders on the Uncharted are now open, ahead of its official launch in the coming weeks, with customer deliveries beginning in July.
