The Three-Row Subaru SUV That's Secretly A Toyota

Belinda has written about cars for more than a decade and has various post-graduate degrees majoring in creative writing, research, and literature. She has served as Senior Editor and Section Lead at CarBuzz since 2019, and was appointed Deputy Editor in 2024.  Born to a family of Ford people, motoring enthusiasts, and mechanics, Belinda wouldn’t find her calling in the motor industry until after completing her postgraduate studies in the behavioral sciences. Majoring in English literature and creative writing, she was appointed at the University of Johannesburg to assist and tutor students in composition, writing, and research. She served as assistant and contributor to numerous academic journals, research articles, and published works, and started her own freelance writing and editing company shortly thereafter. After falling in love with the idea of merging her passions for cars and writing, Belinda spent four years writing for local motoring publications before joining the CarBuzz team full-time as Senior Editor in mid-2019.  A lover of fast cars and an avid watcher of weekend motorsports, Belinda appreciates a broad spectrum of vehicles ranging from small daily drivers to the most opulent luxury machines. Her love for vehicles that stir up emotion has rubbed off on her son - an enthusiastic young gearhead who strives to outdo his mom’s knowledge and motoring infatuation. She is both proud and terrified.  When not writing and editing, you’ll find Belinda soaking up knowledge of the automotive world, reading, unwinding with an Xbox controller in hand, or testing the limits of her beloved Japanese hot hatch.

Subaru

Subaru has revealed its biggest and most powerful model yet - and, while it's adventure-ready name is unlike any Subaru we've heard of before, it's not an entirely unfamiliar vehicle. Like the latest Subaru electric vehicles introduced recently, the 2027 Subaru Getaway shares most of its bits and pieces with a new Toyota model, in this case, the 2027 Highlander EV which made its debut earlier this year. The new Getaway

There are slight differences to the exterior of the 2027 Subaru Getaway that set it apart from the Highander EV, but the overall similarities are there, showing the shared DNA.

Inside, there's no getting away from the fact that the Highlander EV and the new Subaru Getaway share interior designs. Fortunately, that design is a good one, elevating the Getaway to a more modern and high-end cabin than Subaru products traditionally offer.

Interior details for the 2027 Getaway are still sparse, but press images show high-end materials with contrast piping and perforations on the seat, and bolstered perches for the driver and front passenger.

There's seating for up to seven inside the 2027 Subaru Getaway, with some trims offering second-row captain's chairs that reduce overall occupant count to six. Subaru claims exceptional head- and legroom with enough room for six-footers in every row.

All Getaway models come with one-touch second-row folding seats and a power-folding third row - interior cargo space for the new Subaru Getaway comes to 45.6 cubes behind the second row - more than rival Kia EV9 offers.

Interior features for the 2027 Subaru Getaway include a standard 14-inch Multimedia touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The front seats are heated on all trims, with heating and ventilation for other rows available higher up in the lineup.

The exterior of the new Subaru Getaway is characterized by the Subaru unique lighting signature up front, with a six-star illuminated logo on the grille, dynamic DRLs, and and ladder-type roof rails.

19- or 20-inch wheels are available to change up the exterior of the Getaway for 2027, depending on trim level, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance helping to make slightly more rugged terrain more accessible.

The rear of the 2027 Subaru Getaway features a three-dimensional illuminated Subaru logo rear gate garnish, with a distinctive lighting signature. The back end is arguably where differences between the new Getaway exterior and the Toyota Highlander EV are most easily seen.

The Subaru Getaway electric powertrain means 420 horsepower across the lineup, standard all-wheel drive, a 0-60 time of less than 5 seconds, and a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. It arrives at dealers in late 2026.
