Subaru will launch its first all-electric vehicle in Europe

14 December 2020, 15:02:05

Subaru Europe today confirmed the company is preparing for the launch of a battery-electric vehicle for the European market. The introduction schedule is very vague - Subaru mentions "the first half of 2020's" which means that it should happen by 2025 if there isn't a typo in the press release and it meant "the first half of 2021". Subaru's all-electric vehicle will be a mid-size SUV, similar in size to the Subaru Forester model. It will be built on a platform shared with Toyota. Additional information will be shared sometime in 2021.
