The One FWD Subaru โ€” Said Out Loud.

Most dealers would bury the drivetrain in the fine print. We'll lead with it: this is the rare Subaru without AWD, and for a specific kind of SoCal life, that's a rational trade โ€” not a compromise.

What Premium FWD Gets You

The value play of Subaru's whole EV lineup.

  • 300+ miles of range โ€” more than either AWD trim above it
  • $34,995 โ€” the least expensive new EV Subaru has ever sold
  • The same compact, quick, city-sharp body as the $43,795 GT
  • Charge overnight at home, wake up full โ€” never think about a gas station again

The Honest Trade-Off

Said plainly, the way we'd tell a friend.

  • It's front-wheel drive โ€” if your car sees dirt roads, mountain snow trips, or trailheads, this is the wrong trim
  • If AWD is why you buy Subarus, the Sport at $39,795 brings it back โ€” with 338 hp attached
  • City-and-freeway commuting is where FWD costs you almost nothing โ€” be honest about which driver you are

$34,995 starting MSRP* โ€” your out-the-door number comes in writing before you set foot on a lot.

Step Down? Step Up?

Step down?

There isn't one โ€” this is the floor of the Uncharted lineup and the least expensive new EV Subaru has ever sold. If even this stretches the budget, the honest conversation is a lightly-used EV or a gas Crosstrek โ€” and we'll have that conversation with real numbers, not a shrug.

Step up?

The Sport at $39,795 is the proper-Subaru version: dual motors, AWD back in the picture, and 338 hp along for the ride. That $4,800 is worth it if your weekends leave pavement or your winters visit Big Bear โ€” and honestly not worth it if your miles are the 5, the 78, and a parking garage. You know which one you are; tell us and we'll price it straight.

No pressure either way โ€” we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $34,995 or $43,795.
