Subaru rolled a modified Outback out of its proving ground north of Tokyo on October 18 and let it show what the company can build without Toyota's help. The test mule packs dual electric motors, all-wheel drive, and about 510 horsepower. It's the clearest look yet at Subaru's in-house EV ambitions.
Executives said some of the hardware under that wagon body could reach showrooms starting in 2029, though they stopped short of naming an actual production model. For now, it's a rolling demonstration of what Subaru's engineers have been building on their own.
