The 2027 Subaru Uncharted gives shoppers a choice Subaru does not usually emphasize: front-wheel drive or Symmetrical AWD. Premium FWD is the range-focused version, while Sport and GT add AWD and more power.

Bottom Line: Premium FWD is best if you want more than 300 miles of listed range. Sport and GT AWD are best if you want Subaru traction confidence, 338 horsepower, roof rails, and dual-function X-MODE.

  • Premium FWD: 221 hp
  • Sport / GT AWD: 338 hp
  • Premium FWD range: more than 300 miles
  • AWD range: more than 285 miles

What You Gain With FWD

Premium FWD is lighter and range-focused. It lists more than 300 miles of range, making it the longest-range Uncharted trim. For drivers who spend most time on paved roads, commute regularly, and want the lowest Uncharted entry point, it makes sense.

The FWD trim still has 8.2 inches of ground clearance and the same NACS charging approach as the AWD trims.

What You Gain With AWD

Sport and GT add a rear eAxle, increasing combined output to 338 horsepower. More importantly for many Subaru shoppers, they add Symmetrical AWD and dual-function X-MODE.

That matters in rain, snow, gravel lots, steep driveways, and beach-town winter driving. It also gives the Uncharted a stronger acceleration feel, with 0-60 mph performance listed in less than 5 seconds for Sport and GT.

Which Is Better for Long Island?

For maximum range, pick Premium FWD. For year-round traction confidence, pick Sport or GT AWD.

Long Island shoppers who already associate Subaru with winter stability and bad-weather confidence will likely gravitate toward AWD. Drivers who are EV-first and range-first may prefer Premium FWD.
