The only electric car Subaru sells in the U.S. is a Toyota. The Solterra electric crossover is a cross-badged Toyota bZ4x. Just like the rest of Japan’s auto industry, the adventure-loving brand has been slow to electrification.
Sure, it’s teaming up with Toyota for its upcoming EVs, but it’s unclear if they will be true Subies or more rebadged Toyotas. However, there could be something in the pipeline that has Subaru DNA, but with an electric twist.
AutoGuide reported today that Subaru has trademarked the “e-Outback” moniker in Japan. The trademark application was filed in early August and published today. Rumors of a hybrid Outback have been running wild among Redditors for months but Subaru has yet to confirm anything on those lines.
