The 2027 Subaru Getaway showed up at the New York Auto Showand left a big impression. A three-row EV SUV with 420 horsepower, a sub-5-second 0–60 time, and up to 300 miles of range wasn’t exactly on my Subaru bingo card. And somehow, it still keeps the stuff people actually want, like standard AWD, X-MODE, and real ground clearance. 420 Horsepower And A Sub-5-Second 0–60 Time Change The Formula 2027 Subaru Getaway front endSubaru isn’t easing into EVs with a slow approach or an overly efficiency-focused strategy. The Getaway comes in with up to 420 horsepower and a 0–60 time under five seconds, which immediately puts it in a very different category than most three-row SUVs.Range lands at up to 300 miles, which is right where it needs to be for something meant to handle daily driving and longer trips without turning into a planning exercise.Amanda Cline / HotCarsMost three-row EVs are built around efficiency and practicality first; performance is layered in later, if at all. The Getaway arrives looking like something that’s meant to be driven, not just used.What stands out more is how much of the brand’s identity carried over. Standard Symmetrical AWD is here, along with X-MODE, giving it real off-road credibility rather than just a drive mode menu. Add in 8.3 inches of ground clearance and up to 3,500 pounds of towing, and this starts to feel like a Subaru first and an EV second. Seating For Up To Seven And Plenty Of Space 2027 Subaru Getaway front cabinSubaru didn’t chase performance at the expense of usability, so the Getaway still works like a real three-row SUV. You can spec it with either a second-row bench for seven passengers or captain’s chairs if you want easier access to the third row, and Subaru says even six-footers can sit comfortably in all three rows. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of SUVs that technically have a third row but don’t really want you to use it.One-touch second-row folding makes getting into the third row less of a chore, and the power-folding third row means you can switch from people-hauler to cargo duty without fighting with seats. With the third row down, it offers 45.6 cubic feet of space, more than the Kia EV9. That’s not a small detail when this is going to be used for road trips, Costco runs, and everything in between.SubaruInside, a 14-inch touchscreen sits front and center with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a 12.3-inch digital cluster. There’s ambient lighting, wireless charging, and a full suite of driver-assistance features through EyeSight. There are cupholders and bottle holders for every seat, USB-C ports in every row, and available features like a panoramic roof and three-zone climate control. It doesn’t feel like they treated the interior as an afterthought just because the headline number is 420 horsepower. Charging, Tech, And The Stuff That Actually Makes It Easy To Live With Amanda Cline / HotCarsThe Getaway uses a standard NACS port, which means access to Tesla’s Supercharger network without adapters or workarounds. That alone removes much of the friction that still comes with owning an EV, especially for people who aren’t trying to plan their lives around charging stops.SubaruCharging speeds are competitive, too. Subaru says it can go from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes with peak speeds up to 150 kW, and there’s battery preconditioning built in so it doesn’t fall apart in colder weather. That’s the kind of detail that matters more than the headline numbers once you actually start using it. A 300-mile range sounds great, but consistent charging performance is what makes that usable.The Getaway feels like Subaru looked at the three-row EV space and decided to lead with performance, then backs it up with everything a family SUV actually needs. You still get real space, real capability, and the kind of usability people expect from a Subaru. If this is where Subaru is going with its EV lineup, they’re trying to make it fun again, and that's a pretty cool thing to see.
