Dual-motor Highlanders make do pinch conscionable 338 hp.

I already for illustration nan styling of nan Highlander, but I deliberation nan Getaway looks moreover better. It's a awesome execution of a grille-less EV beforehand that still feels for illustration a face, and I really for illustration Subaru's caller six-light DRLs, which are successful a cat's oculus lodging supra nan mini headlights astatine nan apical of achromatic inserts successful nan bumper. Every trim level has an illuminated beforehand logo, and nan DRLs besides show nan complaint status.

Subaru moved nan licence sheet holder to nan tailgate, compared pinch nan little 1 connected nan Highlander, and nan Getaway has a unsocial taillight barroom pinch an illuminated Subaru script, different move awesome placement successful nan corners of nan bumper, and a chunkier-looking diffuser element. Ladder-style tile rails are almost each trim, which is important for Subaru arsenic it says much of its customers spot that arsenic a must-have characteristic than buyers of immoderate different brand. The Getaway has its ain 19- and 20-inch instrumentality designs arsenic well, though, location are nary optional 22s for illustration connected nan Toyota. There are six colors, 3 of which aren't greyscale: Night Dive Blue Silica (dark blue), Pacific Pine Metallic (a teal-y emerald), and Supernova Mica (the guidelines beer-y purple astatine nan apical of this story).

The Getaway's interior is overmuch much akin to nan Highlander's than nan extracurricular is, but location are a mates of awesome differences that make nan Subaru a batch much appealing. First connected nan database is that Subaru will waste you a Getaway with Nappa leather seats, wherever nan Toyota is stuck pinch SofTex synthetic upholstery. Even better, you tin get those seats successful Pine Grey, a beautiful somewhat minty greenish that is difficult to seizure successful photos (below) but looks awesome successful person. Other than a mates of different insignificant trim and worldly differences, it's each what we've already seen from nan Highlander inside.

Compared to nan gas-powered Ascent, nan Getaway is 2 inches longer and 2.3 inches wider, but 2.7 inches little successful height. Its wheelbase is 6.3 inches longer, which, mixed pinch nan level floor, makes nan compartment a nicer spot to beryllium for occupants. With nan 3rd statement of seats up, nan Getaway has somewhat little cargo space, astatine 15.9 cubic feet versus 17.8 successful nan Ascent, but nan Getaway has a fewer cubes much room some pinch conscionable nan 3rd statement down, and pinch nan 2nd and 3rd rows folded. A three-across chair successful nan 2nd statement is modular connected nan mediate trim, but captain's chairs are modular connected nan apical and bottommost models, and optional connected nan mediate one.

Subaru says pricing and much specs will beryllium announced person to nan Getaway's on-sale day successful precocious 2026. If I had to guess, I would opportunity nan Getaway will astir apt commencement astatine astir $50,000, but we don't moreover cognize really overmuch nan Highlander will costs yet, truthful return my connection pinch a atom of salt. But what feels for illustration a judge stake is that Subaru will advertise these pinch footage of dogs going off-roading.
