Subaru recently revealed details about its upcoming exhibit at the Japan Mobility Show 2023. While a special edition Forester and new Levorg variant will be showcased, the highlight of the event is expected to be the debut of Subaru’s latest EV sports car concept. The brand has only released a single photo of the Subaru Sport Mobility Concept, which showcases a sleek, low-slung coupe with a distinctive glass canopy replacing the traditional roof.
The design of the concept car is reminiscent of Subaru’s previous SVX model, known for its unique and bold style. The front and rear fenders stand out with their prominent grooves, resembling the plastic cladding typically found on the current WRX. Subaru’s description of the car as embodying the “pleasure of going anywhere, anytime, and driving at will in everyday to extraordinary environments” suggests a focus on versatility and adventure.
Traditionally, Subaru has been known for its sporty vehicles with loose surface capability, with the exception of the BRZ. It would be fitting for Subaru’s first electric sports car to also offer rally-prepped capabilities. Subaru President Atsushi Osaki is scheduled to debut the concept at the Japan Mobility Show on October 25, where it will be streamed on Subaru’s YouTube page.
While it remains to be seen if the concept will make it into production, it is an exciting step for Subaru as it navigates the transition to electric vehicles. This concept showcases Subaru’s commitment to incorporating their signature sporty values into their EV lineup. As automotive enthusiasts anticipate the Japan Mobility Show, they eagerly await further details about Subaru’s EV sports car concept and its potential impact on the market.
