The 2026 Trailseeker: Built for Adventure, Tech, & Range

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker isn’t your typical electric SUV—it blends rugged capability, modern tech, and practical range to deliver an EV that’s ready for both daily driving and off-road escapes. Here’s how it sets itself apart:

Adventure-Ready: Built for Trails, Trips, and Towing

• All-Wheel Drive is Standard: The Trailseeker comes with legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, powered by dual electric motors (one at each axle), giving balanced traction and stability no matter the terrain.
• Ground Clearance & Off-Road Modes: With 8.3 inches of ground clearance and an off-road tuned suspension, the Trailseeker is ready for dirt roads, gravel, light trails, or snow. Its dual-mode X-MODE system includes Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings, plus Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control for tricky terrain.
• Cargo Room & Utility: Compared to its EV sibling (the smaller Solterra model), the Trailseeker is more than six inches longer and about an inch taller—providing a larger rear cargo area and more headroom. Standard raised roof rails add extra carrying capacity for bikes, gear, or outdoor equipment.
• Towing Capacity: Need to bring a trailer, bike rack, or small camper? The Trailseeker can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Tech-Savvy Interior That Keeps You Connected & Comfortable

• Large 14-inch Infotainment Screen: Inside, Subaru loaded the Trailseeker with its largest multimedia touchscreen to date—a 14.0-inch display that keeps navigation, media, climate, and EV controls accessible and modern.
• Smartphone Integration & Charging: The infotainment supports wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android^™ Auto. On top of that, dual wireless smartphone charging pads sit in the center console, and USB-C ports (front and rear) keep devices powered up.
• Flexible Interior Layout: The cabin is designed with a flat floor, generous legroom, and ample storage—ideal for both daily commuting and road-trip comfort. For adventure-minded owners, that means easier loading/unloading gear, backpacks, or camping equipment.
• Advanced Driver Assistance & Safety: As you’d expect from the brand, the Trailseeker includes a full suite of driver-assist and safety technologies: pre-collision braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, panoramic/surround view monitor, and more.

The result: a cabin that feels modern and refined—yet purposeful and adventure-ready.

Range & Charging That Fit Real-World Driving & Road Trips

• Battery & Estimated Range: The Trailseeker is powered by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, giving an estimated driving range of over 260 miles on a single charge.
• Fast Charging & EV Infrastructure Friendly: It supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, and comes standard with a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port—making it compatible with a wide network of fast chargers.
• Battery Pre-Conditioning: To help ensure consistent charging performance regardless of weather, Trailseeker includes a battery pre-conditioning system—useful if you’re charging in hot summer heat or cold winter conditions.
• Balanced for Performance & Efficiency: Dual-motor AWD provides plenty of power—about 375 horsepower total—letting the Trailseeker accelerate from 0-60 mph in roughly 4.3-4.4 seconds. That means you don’t have to sacrifice performance for range or utility.

For many drivers—especially those who split time between city commuting, highway driving, and weekend adventures—260+ miles of EV range plus fast-charging support represents a strong balance between practicality and flexibility.
