Subaru is working toward an in-house electric-vehicle (EV) platform, with details pointing to an AWD-focused architecture arriving in 2029. The reports say the company is moving away from a shared approach that currently ties Subaru closely to Toyota components.
Across the outlets, the core context is that Subaru’s EV strategy is evolving to become more independent. Car and Driver frames the platform as enabling Subaru to rely less on Toyota—described as its largest shareholder—as it expands EV ambitions. InsideEVs adds a broader development angle, highlighting a high-power “mule” and suggesting that elements such as a lighter battery and in-house electronics are part of the plan. Top Gear similarly emphasizes the timeline and notes that Subaru currently shares parts with Toyota, underscoring the shift toward proprietary design and engineering.
