The 2026 Subaru Uncharted is available in three trim levels: Premium FWD, Sport, and GT. All three share the same all-electric drivetrain, EyeSight driver assist suite, 14-inch multimedia system, dual wireless phone chargers, digital key, and AC power outlet. The differences between trims are significant — starting with whether the vehicle drives two or four wheels. The Premium FWD is front-wheel drive only; the Sport and GT add Subaru Symmetrical AWD and X-MODE. For Nassau County buyers, this makes the trim decision more consequential than a typical feature-content choice.
Bottom Line: Every Uncharted is all-electric with EyeSight, the 14-inch display, dual wireless charging, digital key, and a 120V power outlet. The Sport adds AWD, X-MODE, StarTex upholstery, the 360-Degree Surround View Monitor, and driver seat memory. The GT adds the panoramic glass roof, Harman Kardon audio, 20-inch wheels, ventilated seats, heated rear seats, and two-tone paint.
- Premium FWD → Sport: AWD replaces FWD, X-MODE, StarTex upholstery, driver seat memory, power passenger seat, 360-degree camera, driver monitor, traffic jam assist, roof rails, illuminated logo
- Sport → GT: Panoramic glass roof, Harman Kardon (11 speakers), 20-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, digital rearview mirror, available two-tone paint

Premium FWD: All-Electric, Front-Wheel Drive
Drive: Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Wheels: 18-inch alloy with gloss black wheel covers Upholstery: Black Cloth
The Premium FWD is the entry into the 2026 Uncharted and delivers the vehicle’s full EyeSight safety suite, 14-inch multimedia system, dual wireless charging, 120V outlet, digital key, and All-Weather Package. The key distinction from Sport is that the Premium FWD is front-wheel drive — it does not have Subaru Symmetrical AWD or X-MODE.
For Nassau County buyers who drive primarily on paved roads, have covered parking, and experience limited winter driving, the Premium FWD is a complete all-electric vehicle. For buyers who rely on AWD for winter confidence on the Northern State, LIE, or Long Island residential streets in snow, the Sport’s AWD is the critical upgrade.
The Premium FWD’s interior is Black Cloth — the only trim with cloth upholstery. StarTex (Gray or Black) arrives with the Sport.
Best for: Buyers who want an all-electric Subaru at the most accessible price and for whom front-wheel drive is sufficient for their driving environment.
Sport: AWD, X-MODE, and the Full Feature Ladder
Drive: Subaru Symmetrical AWD Wheels: 18-inch alloy with gloss black wheel covers Upholstery: Black StarTex or Gray StarTex
What it adds over Premium FWD:
- Subaru Symmetrical AWD (replaces FWD)
- X-MODE Dual Mode System with Hill Descent Control
- StarTex upholstery (Black or Gray — Premium FWD has Black Cloth only)
- Heated steering wheel
- Driver seat memory
- 8-way power passenger seat
- Driver Monitor: Distraction Mitigation System
- Traffic Jam Assist
- 360-Degree Surround View Monitor
- Low-profile roof rails
- Illuminated front Subaru logo
The Sport is where the Uncharted becomes a fully Subaru-characteristic vehicle. AWD and X-MODE are the features that define Subaru’s identity; the Sport delivers them on the all-electric platform. For Nassau County buyers who want AWD confidence on icy winter roads and the traction management of X-MODE for slippery conditions, the Sport is the minimum viable Uncharted.
The addition of the 360-Degree Surround View Monitor — a camera system that shows an overhead composite view — is a practical daily upgrade for parking. Driver seat memory, the power passenger seat, and StarTex upholstery make the cabin meaningfully more comfortable and premium than the Premium FWD.
Best for: Buyers who want AWD, X-MODE, and a complete daily EV with the full Subaru safety and traction profile. The Sport is the sweet spot of the Uncharted lineup for most Nassau County buyers.
GT: Maximum Specification
Drive: Subaru Symmetrical AWD Wheels: 20-inch alloy with gun metal finish and gloss black inserts Upholstery: Black StarTex or Gray StarTex
What it adds over Sport:
- Panoramic glass roof with power shade
- Harman Kardon Speaker System with 11 speakers
- 20-inch alloy wheels with gun metal finish and gloss black inserts
- Ventilated front seats
- Heated outboard rear seats
- Digital Rearview Mirror with HomeLink
- Available two-tone paint (GT exclusive)
The GT’s primary differentiators from the Sport are the panoramic glass roof and the Harman Kardon audio system. The panoramic roof transforms the cabin — the overhead glass creates an open, airy feel that a conventional roof cannot match. The 11-speaker Harman Kardon system is a significant audio upgrade over the Sport’s standard 6-speaker installation.
The 20-inch wheels with gun metal finish and gloss black inserts change the Uncharted’s visual presence at the wheels — a distinctive, premium wheel design that reads as intentional rather than standard. Ventilated front seats and heated rear seats extend seasonal comfort across all four passengers. The digital rearview mirror provides a wider camera-based view.
The two-tone paint option — body color with Astro Black Mica roof — is exclusive to GT, giving buyers who want a two-tone Uncharted a single trim path.
Best for: Buyers who prioritize the panoramic glass roof, want Harman Kardon audio, prefer the 20-inch gun metal wheel design, or want the two-tone paint option.

"The most important question for an Uncharted buyer is: do you want AWD? If yes, you need at least the Sport — there's no AWD on Premium FWD. For Nassau County buyers who deal with winter weather and want the Subaru all-weather character, Sport is the starting point. From there, the GT question is whether the panoramic roof and Harman Kardon are worth the step-up. Most buyers who sit in the GT with the roof open know the answer pretty quickly."
