We've known for a long time now that Toyota and Subaru are joining forces to build a new EV platform that will underpin midsize and large passenger cars, as well as a C-segment SUV similar in size to the Subaru Crosstrek. This isn't the first time the two Japanese automakers have collaborated either, as the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 were jointly developed. Both cars are due to be replaced with next-generation models.



Toyota and Subaru's new collaboration began with the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, which borrows hybrid technology from the Toyota Prius. Earlier this year, Subaru also presented a mysterious design study jointly developed with Toyota previewing the upcoming Tesla Model X rival.
