The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker: Subaru’s Bold Leap Into Electric Adventure
The electric SUV market just got a serious shakeup with the arrival of the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker. Designed for rugged adventures and daily commutes alike, the Trailseeker blends Subaru’s legendary all-wheel-drive performance with a fully electric powertrain. If you’re looking for a capable, off-road-ready electric SUV, the Trailseeker should be at the top of your list.
All-Electric Power Meets Legendary Subaru AWD
At the heart of the Subaru Trailseeker EV is a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering an estimated 375 horsepower and rapid acceleration — 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. This makes the Trailseeker not only Subaru’s most powerful electric SUV to date but also one of the quickest in its segment.
Powered by a 74.7 kWh liquid-cooled battery, the 2026 Trailseeker offers an estimated range of 260+ miles on a full charge. Subaru has also equipped the Trailseeker with DC fast charging capability (up to 150 kW) and NACS (Tesla Supercharger) port compatibility, making road trips across North America easier than ever.
Key EV Features:
- Dual-motor AWD with 375 hp
- 0–60 mph in 4.4 seconds
- 74.7 kWh battery
- 260+ miles of electric range
- NACS charging port (Tesla Supercharger compatible)
Built for the Trail: Off-Road Capabilities That Deliver
True to its name, the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker is made for adventure. It offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance, X-Mode terrain management, Grip Control, and Downhill Assist Control — giving it the edge over most electric SUVs in tough off-road conditions. Whether you’re hitting mountain trails or icy backroads, the Trailseeker is built to handle it.
With a maximum tow rating of 3,500 pounds, it’s also practical for hauling bikes, kayaks, or a lightweight camper trailer — something many EVs still struggle with.
Bigger, Bolder, and Smarter by Design
Compared to the Subaru Solterra, the Trailseeker is longer, taller, and roomier. The increased dimensions translate to more cargo space and improved passenger comfort. It also features a rugged new exterior with protective body cladding, raised roof rails, and an illuminated Subaru badge for a bold look that fits both urban streets and remote campsites.
Inside, you’ll find Subaru’s largest-ever touchscreen — a 14-inch high-resolution display — along with a spacious, flat-floor layout and premium technology throughout the cabin.
Interior Features Include:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Dual 15W wireless charging pads
- Rear USB-C fast-charging ports
- EyeSight® Driver Assist with Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist & more
- Optional DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker Delivers
Subaru’s loyal fan base has long waited for a rugged, capable EV, and the Trailseeker addresses those key pain points in the electric SUV market with real-world range, fast charging, and authentic off-road capability. Unlike many EVs that lean toward urban luxury, the Trailseeker is purpose-built for drivers who crave adventure, space, and performance in any terrain.
