Subaru Europe has confirmed the company is preparing for the launch of a full electric vehicle.
Scheduled for introduction in the first half of this decade, Subaru’s all-electric vehicle will be a mid-size SUV and similar in size to its current Forester model. It will be built on a platform shared with Toyota.
Additional information will be shared sometime next year, the manufacturer reported.
The news underlines Subaru’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint in Europe and satisfy a growing demand for alternative powertrains.
It also signals the brand’s second electrification step in Europe after it recently launched mild-hybrid variants of two core models in the region. The Subaru XV e-BOXER and Forester e-BOXER models currently represent 60% of the sales volume.
