  • DC fast charging increases to 150 kW and the onboard AC charger rises to 11 kW, with battery pre-conditioning enabled for cold weather.
  • The EV now uses a factory NACS port for access to Tesla Superchargers, with an adapter available for CCS stations.
  • Chassis and AWD retuning target real-world handling, including a Subaru-claimed 20% reduction in rolling-related sway.
  • Official 2026 pricing is still pending, while current models are being advertised with a $10,000 manufacturer credit and low-rate financing.
