Subaru’s 279-mile E-Outback is coming to the UK next year with 376bhp

Subaru’s all-new ‘E-Outback’ - known as the Trailseeker in the US - will land in the UK next summer, and it’ll aim to be just as focused on getting muddy as the combustion version.

That trusty symmetrical all-wheel drive system remains, while the dual e-motors combine for 376bhp and 0-62mph in 4.4s. Expect 279 miles of range out of a fully juiced 74.7kWh pack.

The E-Outback gets extra doses of heavy plastic cladding around the arches and bumpers, plus a heady 210mm of ground clearance. It’ll tow up to 1.5 tonnes of stuff with a trailer hitched up, too.

Cabin details remain tight for now, but we do know it’ll get a 14in multimedia screen, various active and passive safety systems, and the familiar suite of terrain modes (think gravel, mud, snow, etc) to keep you going just about anywhere.

Subaru has also confirmed the E-Outback is scheduled to arrive shortly after the new Uncharted SUV, though pricing has yet to be disclosed.
