A Second EV
Just a few years ago, Subaru launched its first battery-electric vehicle, the all-new Solterra. For the 2026 model year, Solterra gets a stablemate with the all-new Subaru Trailseeker. The second battery-electric vehicle in the Subaru lineup, the Trailseeker shares design elements with Solterra, but it is larger and more powerful than its EV sibling.

Larger than Solterra
The 2026 Trailseeker is over six inches longer and almost an inch taller than the Solterra. This translates to increased cargo space for better utility. Standard roof rails provide additional hauling capability, and the Trailseeker can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Dual-Motor Drivetrain
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker comes standard with a dual-motor electric powertrain. The battery-electric system puts out an estimated 375 horsepower, making the Trailseeker the most powerful model in Subaru’s lineup. With that much power on tap, the Trailseeker will sprint to 60 mph in an estimated 4.4 seconds.

Off-Road Capable
Like other models in the lineup, the new Trailseeker is designed to handle off-pavement adventures. To that end, the newest Subaru EV boasts 8.3 inches of ground clearance and comes standard with the latest Dual-Mode X-MODE system featuring Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud setups. Hill descent control and grip control are also standard.

Uniquely Tuned
While there are components of the EV platform that are shared with Toyota, Subaru has developed the unique suspension and tuned the all-wheel drive system specifically for the Trailseeker. Sensors in the front and rear measure acceleration, braking, and cornering to balance the power from front to rear. This should provide better stability and improved handling both on and off pavement.

Range and Charging
Trailseeker gets its power from a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, which is expected to provide a range of around 280 miles. Like the updated Solterra, the Trailseeker features a NACS (North American Charging Standard) charge port, giving its owners access to the vast Tesla Supercharger network. With an onboard preconditioning system, the Trailseeker can charge at rates of 150 kW at a DC fast charger.

Inner Space
The new Trailseeker features a 14-inch touchscreen display that it shares with the updated Solterra. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and there are dual wireless chargers in the center console below the screen. Two USB-C ports are in the rear seat so everyone can keep their devices powered.

Coming Next Year
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker is expected to arrive in showrooms in early 2026. Starting at $41,445 (including destination charge) for the base Premium trim, the Trailseeker will also be offered as a Limited ($45,445) and Touring ($48,005).
