- The Trailseeker is an all-new midsize electric SUV with about 280 miles of range
- It’s a joint project with Toyota, nearly identical to that brand’s bZ Woodland
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker will start at $41,445 including a mandatory destination charge in most states. Alaskans will pay $150 more for delivery, and Subaru notes that destination charges may change in some states.
The Trailseeker is an all-new midsize electric SUV, built as part of a joint project with Toyota. Toyota will sell its own version, the bZ Woodland. The Trailseeker is about 6 inches longer and one inch taller than the Subaru Solterra, with most of the added space going to the cargo area.
The Trailseeker will use a pair of electric motors, one per axle, for all-wheel drive (AWD). Combined, they make 375 horsepower, good for a zero to 60 mph sprint in just 4.4 seconds. It can vary the torque between front and back and right and left wheels to adapt to changing surfaces. That should give it impressive off-road capability, though ground clearance is not particularly high at 8.3 inches.
It recharges using the Tesla-style North American Charging System (NACS) port, and Subaru claims it “can recharge up to 80% in as little as 28 minutes at speeds up to 150 kW on a fast-charger.” A preconditioning system, the company says, allows it to “charge its battery in cold climates at speeds comparable to those in normal weather conditions.”
The Trailseeker’s price puts it about $5,000 higher than the similarly sized, gasoline-powered Outback, which has 180 hp in its base model and 260 hp in more expensive trims.
The price also puts it in close competition with midsize electric SUVs from other mainstream automakers, including the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. The Subaru Trailseeker is set to arrive at dealerships in early 2026.
