The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker: What Drivers in Waco Should Know

After the success of the Subaru Solterra, the automaker is bringing new electric vehicles to the lineup. The first new EV for 2026 is the Subaru Trailseeker - and it’s got the rugged specs and innovative features that Subaru drivers love. The Trailseeker enters the lineup as a larger option than the compact Subaru Solterra, and it will soon be followed by the upcoming subcompact Subaru Uncharted.

With the Solterra and two more electric vehicles, it’s clear that Subaru is truly dedicated to the Subaru Love Promise by delivering rugged and emissions-free vehicles that show how much Subaru loves the Earth.

Let’s take a deep dive into the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, especially the specs and features that Douglass Subaru drivers around Hewitt and Gatesville will love.

What’s Under the Hood & In the Cabin of the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker?

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker will arrive at Subaru stores like Douglass Subaru in Waco, TX in early 2026. This all-new electric SUV is capable, roomy, rugged, and - best of all - eco-friendly. Because Subaru understands that vehicles should be affordable, the automaker gave it a price tag that fits with the rest of the lineup.

Features and specs in the new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker include:

• 375 horsepower
• A 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds
• Impressive range and speedy charging ability
• A revised Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system
• Comfortable seating for five with plenty of cargo space
• Driving modes for confidence on dirt, snow, mud, and pavement

Subaru designed the Trailseeker to fit into the lineup, but stand apart from the Solterra and upcoming Uncharted. The external styling includes a new EV signature light with the six-star logo, along with a new front bumper. On the rear, the Trailseeker features a three-dimensional Subaru logo with a unique rear gate lighting system. On the inside, the Trailseeker stands apart thanks to the rectangular steering wheel and free-standing digital instrument display behind it.

The Trailseeker will have three trims: Premium, Limited, and Touring. All will be well-equipped with a large touchscreen, a suite including Subaru EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology, safety tech, and durable interior upholstery.

What Are the Vital EV Specs for the 2026 Subaru Solterra?

The all-electric 2026 Subaru Trailseeker has a powertrain that fits its name, as the power and equipment are built for seeking trails. All trims are only available with the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which has been revised to support the dual electric motors. Subaru put 8.3 inches of ground clearance on the Trailseeker, and added the X-MODE^® Dual-Mode System with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud Modes, Grip Control, and Downhill Assist Control for fun on and off the pavement. For even more versatility, the Trailseeker can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Subaru proudly touts that the 2026 Trailseeker is the fastest model sold in the United States, thanks to its 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds and 375 horsepower. With a full charge, the Trailseeker has an EPA-estimated range of 280 miles. The EV charges quickly thanks to the 150-kW charging system.

The Trailseeker has a 74.7-kWh battery pack and a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. Drivers will appreciate being able to charge at all Tesla Superchargers without an adaptor and at CCS chargers with one. For fast charging in all weather conditions, Subaru installed an onboard battery-preconditioning system that can be accessed with the onboard navigation system or through driver touchscreen controls.

What Comfort & Styling Features Come Standard in the 2026 Trailseeker?

The entry-level Trailseeker Premium comes with desirable comfort features. All seats are covered with StarTex^® trimmed interior upholstery. The front seats are heated, and the power rear gate adds convenience when loading gear into the 32.2 cubic feet of cargo space.

The Limited trim has a few more comfort features that include a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated rear seats, and a hands-free kick sensor for the power rear gate. The top Touring trim has even more, including optional black leather-appointed upholstery. The Touring trim also has a panoramic glass roof with a power shade, radiant heat leg warmers, and ventilated front seats.

Drivers can choose the Trailseeker in one of six colors: Brilliant Bronze Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, Crystal White Pearl, Magnetite Gray Metallic, and Sapphire Blue Pearl. Two-tone paint is available with Crystal White Pearl on the Touring trim.

What Tech & Safety Features Come in the 2026 Trailseeker?

All Subaru Trailseeker trims come with the EyeSight^® Driver Assistance Technology suite that includes Pre-Collision Braking, Active Lane-Change Assist, Traffic-Jam Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Assist, Lane-Departure Alert, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Steering, and Blind-Spot Monitors. To improve visibility, the Trailseeker has a rear window wiper, automatic windshield wipers, and a headlight washing system.

Subaru outfits the Trailseeker trims with premium information and entertainment features. All models have the 14.0-inch Subaru Multimedia System with wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ compatibility, EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology, and wireless smartphone charging pads - yes, pads, plural.

The Limited and Touring trims have the same large 14.0-inch touchscreen. The mid- and top-level trims also have a Harman Kardon^® speaker system and a panoramic view monitor. Both trims also have a 120-volt AC power outlet in the cargo area.
