SUV-like model is being developed in collaboration with Toyota
Electric platform Subaru and Toyota
Subaru announces its first fully electric model during a technology briefing. This is an SUV-like car that is on a completely new platform.
The Subaru brand also does not escape the electrification of its models. The brand is currently rolling out the first hybrid models and is currently developing a new platform for electric cars. For this Subaru works together with Toyota, which will also release electric models on this technical basis. The new platform is needed because the current base plate that Subaru uses is not suitable for full electric drive.
The first electric Subaru is an SUV-like model, approximately the size of the Forester. The brand does not yet release technical details, but it also takes a while before the model appears. Subaru wants to bring the car to the market in 2025, but whether the electric SUV will also come to Europe immediately is questionable.
The brand has the goal that in 10 years 40 percent of all Subaru’s sold will be electrified. That is, hybrid or fully electric. The new electric SUV must make an important contribution to that objective.
