Subaru Uncharted in the test: This Japanese SUV is Zen Buddhism on four wheels
Staying calm is a core competence of the Subaru Uncharted. The Toyota brother scores with composure and a good price. However, it also misses out on some things.
In Düsseldorf, many drivers view electric mobility as a religious conviction. Tesla, the market leader, has been ridiculed as "the church of the holy St. Elon" by some fans. Our featured vehicle this week, the Subaru Uncharted, is more like the quiet Buddhist among electric cars: calm, reliable, and self-sufficient. The term "Uncharted," when translated into German from Google, means "unknown."
This serves as a fitting description for the current standing of the brand in Germany. With around 1800 vehicles sold in this country, the Japanese automaker holds a market share of just 0.1 percent, making them a niche player. Seventy to eighty percent of Subaru's cars are sold in the United States. The German translation for "Uncharted" is closer to "unexplored" or "uncharted."
This is a more accurate representation, as the Uncharted is a new territory for Subaru. While the brand already offers an electric vehicle, the Solterra, the Uncharted stands out with its distinctive front-wheel-drive option.
