Overview

• Auto Express reports Subaru will add seven EVs to the UK lineup by the end of 2028, with four still to be revealed, one not destined for Europe, and the halo model planned as the only non-Toyota co-development.
• Subaru says most upcoming EVs are being developed with Toyota but stresses distinct tuning and character, citing 146 differences between the Solterra and Toyota’s bZ4X.
• Europe GM David Dello Stritto says EV technology enables performance ideas the company had shelved and suggests Subaru could explore enthusiast-focused models.
• A Subaru insider cautions that recreating the Impreza’s emotional appeal in an EV is difficult because much of its charm came from its engine note.
• The company intends to keep selling petrol models where customers want them until regulations require a shift, with the UK’s 2035 ban given as an example.
