Subaru Uncharted uses 74.7 kWh CATL battery

Subaru Australia has opened pre-orders for the 2026 Uncharted in Australia, with local pricing and product materials showing the small electric SUV will use a 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery sourced from CATL. CarExpert reported on May 16 that the Australian-market model is priced from A$59,990 before on-road costs and is due to arrive in mid-2026. Subaru Australia’s own model pages list the Uncharted as part of its electric lineup and show driveaway pricing from A$65,401 in Sydney. The battery detail matters because it ties the Uncharted to the same 74.7 kWh CATL pack Subaru is already using in other Australian EV launches. Subaru Australia’s March 27 product post for the Uncharted says the battery delivers up to 522 km of range and supports DC fast charging at up to 150 kW. CarExpert’s May 16 report matches those figures and says a 10% to 80% charge takes about 30 minutes. (carexpert.com.au) ### Which battery is Subaru putting in the Australian Uncharted? Subaru Australia said on March 27 that the Uncharted uses a 74.7 kWh CATL battery, and CarExpert repeated that specification in its May 16 pricing and launch report. The company’s Australian launch material describes the pack as delivering “up to 522km” of driving range for the local vehicle. (carexpert.com.au) CarExpert identified CATL as the battery supplier in its report on the Australian-market vehicle. Subaru Australia’s own Uncharted launch page also names CATL in the battery description. ### What range and charging figures are attached to it? The 522 km figure is the headline range number attached to the Australian Uncharted. (carexpert.com.au) Subaru Australia says that figure applies to the vehicle with the 74.7 kWh battery, while CarExpert specifies that the claim is on the WLTP test cycle. DC fast charging is listed at up to 150 kW, and both Subaru Australia and CarExpert say the battery can go from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes. (carexpert.com.au) Those figures place the Uncharted in line with Subaru’s broader Australian EV rollout, which now includes the Solterra and Trailseeker. ### Is Australia getting one version or several? (carexpert.com.au) CarExpert reported on May 16 that Australia will get the Uncharted in a single variant at launch, priced at A$59,990 before on-road costs. Subaru Australia’s retail site, however, also shows an Uncharted AWD and an Uncharted AWD with Panoramic Glass Roof, with recommended driveaway pricing from A$65,401 and A$66,661 respectively based on Sydney postcode 2000. (carexpert.com.au) The apparent difference reflects two pricing formats rather than conflicting launch timing: CarExpert cited the national list price before on-road costs, while Subaru Australia’s website shows recommended driveaway pricing that includes location-based on-road charges. ### How is Subaru positioning the Uncharted in its EV lineup? (carexpert.com.au) Subaru Australia said the Uncharted will arrive in mid-2026 as its third electric vehicle for the local market. CarExpert said it will sit below the Solterra on price, making it Subaru’s cheapest EV in Australian showrooms so far. The Australian-market Uncharted is listed with dual electric motors producing 252 kW and all-wheel drive only. (carexpert.com.au) Subaru Australia says the setup delivers an estimated 0-100 km/h time of five seconds, while CarExpert says local vehicles will use a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration rather than the lower-cost front-drive version offered in the United States. ### What should buyers watch next? Mid-2026 is the next concrete milestone for the Australian Uncharted, with Subaru Australia already taking pre-orders through its local website. The company’s online configurator and specs pages now carry pricing, model details and retailer links, while CarExpert’s May 16 report says the vehicle is due in Australian showrooms in the next few months.
