According to insideevs, Subaru has announced that it will launch a pure electric mid-size SUV, which will be similar in size to the Forester.
Similar to Toyota, Subaru has been relatively conservative in the development of pure electric models for a long time, and has invested the most in hybrid models. Subaru has stated that it has been developing a pure electric SUV since it unveiled a concept car several years ago.
Now, Subaru’s European subsidiary has confirmed that this pure electric vehicle will be launched in the first half of 2021 and will share the same electric platform with Toyota.
In September 2019, Toyota announced further investment in Subaru to increase its stake from 16.83% to over 20%. As a result, Subaru has become a subsidiary of Toyota.
The news was announced by Subaru’s European subsidiary, indicating that this model may be the first to enter the European market with stricter emission regulations.
