Subaru's all-new 'E-Outback' - known as the Trailseeker in the US - will land in the UK next summer, and it'll aim to be just as focused on getting muddy as the combustion version.
That trusty symmetrical all-wheel drive system remains, while the dual e-motors combine for 376bhp and 0-62mph in 4.4s. Expect 279 miles of range out of a fully juiced 74.7kWh pack.

The E-Outback gets extra doses of heavy plastic cladding around the arches and bumpers, plus a heady 210mm of ground clearance. It'll tow up to 1.5 tonnes of stuff with a trailer hitched up, too.
Cabin details remain tight for now, but we do know it'll get a 14in multimedia screen, various active and passive safety systems, and the familiar suite of terrain modes (think gravel, mud, snow, etc) to keep you going just about anywhere.
Subaru has also confirmed the E-Outback is scheduled to arrive shortly after the new Uncharted SUV, though pricing has yet to be disclosed.

I visited Aston Martin HQ to design my ultimate Valhalla - even I was surprised by the result
That's not the only interesting stat. 'In terms of male:female split, it's still early days,' says Barker. 'I think it's probably about 90:10. We have a few more female customers out in the Asia-Pacific region.' Valhalla buyers all have more than one car and most of them come from the US or Europe. The UK accounts for about 10% of sales. When you're choosing your spec, the screen is cool, but if you want to see your colour in the real world, a huge bank of paint, leather, carbonfibre and fabric samples sits behind you. A Storm Purple top layer for the bodywork looks mighty fine on the screen – and even better in hand under natural light. Seeing the car almost life-size in front of you makes it clear how much of an impact colour can have on something like the Valhalla. Which leads to the question of 'elaborate' specs… 'We're still Aston Martin,' says Vittorio Gabba, head of personalisation at the company's ultra-bespoke Q by Aston Martin division, 'and we want the car to represent the brand.' Q has, according to Gabba, played a role in 80% of the Valhallas specced so far. Autocar's purple beast could have a tinted purple carbon pack on it, custom decals, an off-book paint job or almost anything you can think of, which Q will do its utmost to make happen.
