Subaru’s first electric model to drop in 2021

According to media reports, the first electric model of Subaru will be called Evoltis and will have its world premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2021. The electric SUV will be based on the electric vehicle platform developed by Subaru together with Toyota.

According to reports, the Evoltis will have a range of about 500 kilometers. Subaru gave a first preview of the model at a technology briefing in Tokyo at the beginning of this year. The vehicle should be about the same size as the SUV Crosstrek Hybrid, which is also a joint development of Subaru and Toyota (with technology of the Prius).

It is not yet clear is in which markets the Evoltis will be offered and whether it will carry this model designation everywhere. According to a US report, the Japanese company has already secured the naming rights in the USA in 2018.

Very little is known about the technology of the Evoltis so far. The electric vehicle platform is supposed to be suitable for “medium and large” cars, the first model is supposed to be a C-SUV – like the Evoltis. However, key data on possible battery capacities, charging capacities or engine layouts have not been communicated. With this cooperation, both groups want to reduce development costs, since the car-making giant Toyota is still hesitant about purely battery-electric cars and the small Subaru, on the other hand, has a hard time coping with such high investments on its own.

While the production cars usually look tamer than the vehicle concepts, the Evoltis could still get a very eye-catching design, as Carbuzz speculates. This should make the battery-electric model stand out from the rest of the product range and show its special features.

We’re trying to find electric full size suv . Everything we’re seeing is compact and that’s too small for us. We’re very interested in the new suburbs and would like to have current information

Couldn't agree more. Love Subaru's products and the company's commitment to Zero Landfill recycling and donations to the National Park Service. I will not buy a gasoline powered car ever again and am eager to see what they can come up with.

The electric vehicle is the way to go, I have solar, want a hybrid hot water heater, and an electric car, Subaru puts safety first, and now the environment, I would love to see if price and conmfort, are part of the electric dream, safety will always be there. Love your vehicles, I driven them as rentals, but would love to own one. Please make it affordable.

Bought my first Outback last year. Best car I ever owned. I'd love the exact same space design in all electric. Just don't involve Google, expect me to trade my privacy for ANY feature, or sell my data. It would be extra special to have private secure access to camera, speed, direction, location, and datetime data for my own ticket defence purposes.

I won't buy another car until I can get an electric one that matches what my Outback has going for it. Outbacks are almost the best selling car where I live. HURRY SUBARU!!!

I love our 2019 Outback and if Subaru makes an all electric car that isn’t ugly and too expensive we will buy one. Please make sure there is plenty of charging stations across the county so we can travel as usually.

I own a Subaru legacy and I love it! I owned BMW, BENZ, Jaguar FPace, Honda and by far I love my Subaru. I wait till the electric Subaru comes out. Please don't disappoint me!
