Subaru Delays 2027 Getaway EV
What Car Shoppers Need to Know
- Subaru’s version of the 2027 Toyota Highlander, the all-electric 2027 Getaway, has been delayed.
- The Getaway was expected to start arriving at dealers later in 2026.
- Subaru attributes the delay to some adjustments needed before the official launch.
Following the delay of the redesigned, all-electric 2027 Toyota Highlander, Subaru has decided to delay its related version, the 2027 Getaway. In an email to Cars.com, Subaru confirmed the three-row EV has been postponed. While Subaru said the delay is “to allow sufficient time for final adjustments before launch,” echoing the language Toyota used in its announcement, there were no further details given.

There was no word on how long the delay would last or when a new launch date will be issued. But given that both the Highlander and Getaway are built at Toyota’s plant in Georgetown, Ky., it’s reasonable to assume that both electric vehicles have roughly the same wait.
The Getaway is still set to be Subaru’s fourth EV and — being 2 inches longer than the gas-only Ascent and featuring 2 cubic feet more cargo capacity with the third row folded — its largest vehicle to date. With room for seven, the Getaway will go up against other three-row EV competitors, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9.
Interestingly, despite being mechanically related to the new Highlander, the Getaway will get more power and range than its Toyota platform mate. Subaru says the Getaway will be able to go over 300 miles on a charge and make 420 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, 82 hp more than the most powerful Highlander and 199 hp more than the base front-wheel-drive Highlander. How soon we’ll see it at dealerships, however, remains to be decided. Stay tuned.
