With the upcoming Subaru Performance-E STI concept, a hot hatch that is sure to evoke nostalgia for fans of the legendary ICE-powered Impreza WRX STI, Subaru is preparing to redefine its electric performance identity. This innovative new idea will be formally unveiled by the Japanese carmaker at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, which starts on October 31.
The Performance-E STI concept, which Subaru has only partially disclosed, is referred to as “the future of the performance scene” and marks the beginning of Subaru’s next generation of high-performance EVs. According to the brand, it hints at a balance between power and usability by fusing exciting aesthetic proportions, cutting-edge aerodynamics, and everyday practicality.

Subaru claims that the design will honor the brand’s history while bringing a driver-focused layout and a roomy, cozy cabin. The business also hinted at the addition of cutting-edge new technologies, though details are still being kept under wraps.
Most significantly, Subaru claims that the Performance-E STI concept will provide “intuitive, exhilarating driving experiences” while adhering to the brand’s performance DNA as it moves toward an electric future.
To see how Subaru adapts its rally-bred DNA to the electric era, fans and enthusiasts will need to wait only a few more weeks.
