Subaru just revealed the 2027 Getaway, and this is the rare three-row EV that immediately sounds useful instead of just expensive. According to Subaru’s own launch details, it comes standard with all-wheel drive, 420 horsepower, a 95.8-kWh battery, and an estimated range of more than 300 miles. That already puts it in the part of the market where normal family buyers start paying attention, because seven seats and real road-trip range are still not a common combo. The bigger deal is that Subaru did not build this thing like a rolling appliance. The official reveal says the Getaway can tow up to 3,500 pounds, has 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and uses X-MODE Dual-Mode for snow, dirt, and rougher stuff, while Subaru’s reveal release also calls out NACS charging and a 10% to 80% fast-charge time of about 30 minutes. If you are the kind of buyer who actually hauls kids, gear, or a small trailer, those details matter a lot more than another flashy ambient-lighting demo. What Subaru has not said yet is the part that will decide whether this becomes a real hit or just a nice auto show conversation piece: the price. That is why this launch feels promising but unfinished. The closest current benchmark is the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, which starts at $58,955 and goes up to $76,490 depending on the trim. If Subaru lands somewhere near the lower-middle part of that range, the Getaway could make a lot of sense for buyers who want three rows without giving up all-weather confidence or a little towing flexibility. My early take is simple: this thing looks far more interesting than many oversized EV family barges, but I would wait for the MSRP before getting too emotionally attached. The spec sheet is good. The shape is practical. The charging setup is finally normal-person friendly. Now Subaru just has to prove it understands that families shopping this class are comparing monthly payments, trim value, and long-term ride-and-handling confidence, not just horsepower bragging rights.
