Subaru’s Long-Roofed EV
Before you ask, yes, the Trailseeker is a Toyota bZ Woodland with a different badge. Think of this then as a stretched Solterra, or an EV Outback of sorts. It was first shown at the 2025 New York International Auto Show back in April, and Subaru said sales will start later this year.
Now, that time has come as the company has finally announced its pricing, released all the trims, and mentioned more details. With that, the Trailseeker beats its twin in pricing announcement, but let’s be honest, more people will flock to Toyota showrooms.

Trims and Pricing
There are three trims to choose from for the 2026 Trailseeker. It starts with the Premium, followed by the Limited, and topped off by the Premium. It follows Subaru’s trim level hierarchy to keep things simple and familiar for its customers.
As for pricing, the Premium starts at a hair under 40 grand at $39,995. Move up to the Limited, and that one carries a base price of $43,995 thanks to the addition of more equipment. As for the Touring, the top-spec model goes for $46,555 with all the bells and whistles attached to it. There are several options available for the Trailseeker, although that list becomes thinner the higher you go up the range.

Features and Highlights
All Trailseekers come standard with a 14-inch Subaru Multimedia System with wireless phone connectivity, dual wireless charging pads, heated front seats, a power tailgate, EyeSight driver assist tech, and X-Mode Dual-Mode all-wheel drive, to name a few.
The Trailseeker Limited then adds a Harman/Kardon audio system, a 360-degree camera, heated seats at the front and rear, plus a heated steering wheel, hands-free tailgate, and 20-inch alloys instead of 18s fitted to the Premium. As for the Touring, that one gets all the features found in the Limited, plus a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, and gloss black hood accents.
Other things worth mentioning? There’s 32.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back seats, so that should make the Trailseeker a practical proposition. The roof rails are functional, by the way, and they can hold up to 700 lbs worth of static load. And for those brave enough to tow with an EV, Subaru claims a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs.

Powertrain Details
Regardless of trim chosen, all Trailseekers use a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. As it’s all-wheel drive, that battery provides energy to two electric motors. Subaru says its latest EV crossover has fast-charging capability of up to 150 kW, allowing it to charge from 0 to 80% in 28 minutes. The estimated range is 280 miles per full charge.
With two motors, the Trailseeker packs 375 hp. That said, torque figures have yet to be released, but we reckon it’s got a good slug of it from a standstill. 0 to 60 mph is claimed at 4.4 seconds, fast enough for Subaru to say it’s the quickest model the company has ever offered in the US.
The Trailseeker won’t be the only Subaru EV coming to showrooms in Spring 2026. The company will soon roll out the Uncharted around the same time.
