Subaru unveiled the all-new 2027 Getaway at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, a three-row battery-electric SUV that brings 420 horsepower and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to every trim level. The Getaway is the most powerful production Subaru ever built and the brand's fourth BEV, with seating for up to seven, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and a 95.8-kWh battery rated for more than 300 miles of range. Buyers shopping the three-row electric family SUV segment may notice some familiar numbers in the Getaway's spec sheet: the 95.8-kWh battery, 45.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the third row folded, and 15.9 cubic feet with it upright are the same figures found in the 2027 Toyota Highlander EV, which shares platform underpinnings with the Getaway through the longstanding Toyota-Subaru development partnership. Where the Getaway distinguishes itself is powertrain output (420 horsepower versus the Highlander's 338) and its across-the-board Symmetrical AWD with a mechanical connection between axles. Powertrain and Range The 2027 Getaway uses dual electric motors producing 420 combined horsepower, enough to reach 60 mph in under 5 seconds. The 95.8-kWh battery is rated for more than 300 miles of range, and a standard NACS charging port supports up to 150-kW DC fast charging, bringing the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. Battery preconditioning is standard and maintains charging performance in temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, a practical feature that many competitors make optional. A standard-range model with a 77.0-kWh battery will also be available in 2027; Subaru has not yet released range or pricing details for that configuration. Capability Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on all Getaway trim levels, with a mechanical connection between the front and rear axles. X-MODE Dual-Mode with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings, Grip Control, and Downhill Assist Control are also standard, along with 8.3 inches of ground clearance. Towing capacity is rated at 3,500 pounds. Interior and Cargo Three-row seating for up to seven is available with a second-row bench seat; second-row captain's chairs (seating six) are standard or optional depending on trim level. Subaru claims six-footers can sit comfortably in all three rows. One-touch second-row folding and power-folding third-row seats are standard across the lineup. With the third row folded, cargo space measures 45.6 cubic feet, slightly more than the Kia EV9. Third-row-upright capacity is 15.9 cubic feet. Three-zone climate control, dedicated third-row vents, USB-C charging ports in every row, cup holders at every seat, and customizable ambient lighting are standard. An available panoramic moonroof is offered on certain trim levels, and heated front seats come standard. Heated second- and third-row seats, ventilated front and second-row seats, and a 360-degree heated steering wheel are available on higher trims. Technology A 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Two 15W wireless smartphone chargers are available up front, in addition to four USB-C ports for rear passengers. Five drive modes are available, including a customizable individual setting. EyeSight driver assistance is standard across all trims, covering pre-collision braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist, lane change assist, and emergency stop assist. Higher trim levels add front cross-traffic alert, intelligent park assist, and a digital rearview mirror. The daytime running lights also serve as a charging status indicator when the vehicle is plugged in. The 2027 Subaru Getaway arrives at dealers in late 2026. Pricing has not been announced. Subaru also debuted the updated Forester Wilderness with a new hybrid option at the 2026 New York International Auto Show. View full article -
The third-generation Volkswagen Atlas made its debut at the New York International Auto Show, built on an all-new MQB evo platform that adds about an inch of length to the three-row SUV and brings the most substantial interior redesign the Atlas has seen since its 2017 launch. Exterior Design The new Atlas adopts a sharper, more geometric front end. Double-stacked LED headlights run the full width of the nose, and an illuminated VW badge is standard on all trims except the base. Three new exterior colors join the Atlas palette for 2027: Blackberry, Sacramento Green, and Sandstone. A Completely Redesigned Interior Volkswagen describes the cabin architecture as a "bold loop" cockpit design, a sweeping dashboard structure that creates a visual separation between the driver-focused zone and the passenger side. Real wood trim is now standard across the lineup, and a column-mounted shift lever replaces the previous floor-mounted unit, freeing up the front center console. Three interior color palettes are available. Technology The base trim receives a 12.9-inch touchscreen; every other trim steps up to a 15-inch display. A 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster is standard across the range. Qi2 dual wireless charging accommodates two devices simultaneously, and a new Driver Experience Dial puts drive mode selection within easy reach. Volkswagen's Premium Speech AI is included with a one-year trial subscription. Rear sunshades and a power liftgate are standard on all trims, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system is available on the top trim. Safety The 2027 Atlas adds a front center airbag, bringing the total to seven. Volkswagen has upgraded IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist, and a new Emergency Assist feature can guide the vehicle to a controlled stop and alert emergency services if it detects an unresponsive driver. Powertrain and Capability Under the hood sits an updated 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (the EA888 evo5), now producing 282 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, a gain of 13 horsepower over the outgoing engine. Volkswagen expects improved fuel economy, though EPA figures are not yet available. 4Motion all-wheel drive remains available, towing capacity is rated at 5,000 pounds, and a hybrid powertrain is planned for a midcycle update. The 2027 Atlas will be assembled at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant, with sales expected to begin in fall 2026. Pricing has not been announced. The Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport combined accounted for roughly 30% of Volkswagen's U.S. sales in 2025. Volkswagen also showed the updated 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line at the 2026 New York International Auto Show. View full article
