Overview

• Subaru previewed two STI concepts set for an October 29 reveal at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo: the all‑electric Performance‑E and the petrol‑based Performance‑B.
• Teaser materials describe Performance‑B as using a boxer engine with Symmetrical All‑Wheel Drive, indicating a gas or hybrid architecture rather than full electric.
• Both concepts appear hatchback‑shaped in Subaru’s imagery, with Performance‑E showing a grille‑free front, slim three‑line LEDs, STI badging, and gold‑trimmed wheels.
• Subaru frames Performance‑E as spearheading a new generation of STI with a driver‑focused layout, spacious interior, and new tech aimed at delivering exhilarating driving.
• Atsushi Osaki will hold a press conference on October 29 at 12:30 p.m. JST, with Subaru’s stand also featuring the Trailseeker EV, Forester and Outback Wilderness prototypes, and the GL Family Huckster; production plans for the STI concepts remain unconfirmed.
