Subaru’s 2027 Getaway photo drop
The 2027 Subaru Getaway is one of the show’s linger‑worthy reveals — photographers and editors at the Auto Show kept running galleries of the new model. (Post‑show coverage singled out the Getaway and rolled out multiple photo galleries for readers to inspect design and packaging.) (thetruthaboutcars.com). If you care about form and functionality, these galleries are the fastest way to judge whether Subaru’s new crossover matches the segment’s practical needs. (thetruthaboutcars.com)
The photos kept getting their own gallery posts because Subaru did not bring a trim tweak or a facelift to New York on April 1, 2026. It brought the 2027 Getaway, a brand-new three-row electric sport utility vehicle with seating for up to seven. (subaru.com) Subaru says the Getaway is its most spacious electric vehicle yet, and the basic numbers explain why editors lingered on it. Every version gets standard all-wheel drive, 420 horsepower, and an estimated range of more than 300 miles. (media.subaru.com) This is Subaru stepping into a thin part of the market. Three-row electric sport utility vehicles still have only a few real players, and Cars.com immediately placed the Getaway against the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 instead of against smaller two-row crossovers. (cars.com) The shape in the photos tells you Subaru wants family-duty practicality, not just a sleek electric-vehicle silhouette. The roof stays tall into the third row, the rear opening looks square, and Subaru promises generous cargo space rather than a coupe-like taper. (subaru.com) The hardware underneath is aimed at buyers who still expect Subaru trailhead credibility. Subaru lists 8.3 inches of ground clearance, a dual-mode X-MODE traction system, and 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, which is more “camp trailer and muddy parking lot” than “school-run appliance.” (media.subaru.com) The cabin shots matter because this is where large electric sport utility vehicles usually win or lose. Subaru fitted a 14-inch center touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, multiple charging points, and available captain’s chairs in the second row, all details that change how a seven-seat vehicle actually works on a trip. (media.subaru.com) Charging is part of the packaging story too. Subaru says the Getaway uses a North American Charging Standard port, works with the Tesla Supercharger network, and can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 30 minutes at up to 150 kilowatts. (media.subaru.com) There is also a second story hiding in the proportions. Consumer Reports says the Getaway shares much of its design with the 2027 Toyota Highlander electric vehicle, which fits Subaru and Toyota’s recent pattern of developing electric models together and then tuning them for different buyers. (consumerreports.org) That is why the photo drop got attention beyond the usual auto-show glamour shots. When a new vehicle is this closely related to another company’s model, the details people zoom in on are the things Subaru changed: the front-end treatment, the interior layout, the ride-height stance, and the way it tries to look more outdoorsy than suburban. (motortrend.com) Subaru says the Getaway goes on sale in late 2026, so these galleries are doing early work that a test drive cannot do yet. They let shoppers inspect whether Subaru’s first three-row electric family hauler looks like a real alternative to the current gas-powered Ascent and to the new wave of big battery-powered family crossovers.
