2026 Subaru Trailseeker Starts at $41,455, Arrives Early Next Year

Subaru's all-electric 2026 Trailseeker SUV will arrive early next year with a starting price of $39,995 plus destination charges. The model comes standard with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a 14-inch touchscreen, 375 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, and an estimated 280 miles of range.

The Trailseeker will be sold in Premium, Limited, and Touring trims. It offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance and Subaru’s dual-mode X-MODE system, which includes settings for Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud, along with Grip Control and Downhill Assist. Subaru says the all-wheel-drive system adjusts power using front and rear acceleration sensors to improve traction on changing surfaces. With 375 horsepower, the Trailseeker reaches 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, which makes it the quickest Subaru model sold in the U.S.

Engineers updated the all-wheel-drive system for the EV platform, allowing variable torque split for regenerative braking and more precise power distribution. A 74.7-kWh battery provides power, and there is a standard NACS port. Subaru estimates a charge from 10 to 80 percent can take about 28 minutes on a 150-kW fast charger. A battery-preconditioning feature is built in and can be used automatically through navigation or manually through the touchscreen to help maintain charging speeds in cold weather.

The Trailseeker’s exterior adopts Subaru’s new EV light signature with an illuminated six-star logo, revised lighting, and new wheel designs. The rear adds a three-dimensional Subaru logo and a reshaped garnish. The SUV has 32.2 cubic feet of cargo space, roof rails rated for a 700-pound static load, and a 3,500-pound tow rating. It is longer and slightly taller than the Solterra, resulting in more cabin and cargo room.

The Trailseeker Premium starts at $39,995 and includes the 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, EyeSight driver assistance, heated front seats, a distraction-mitigation system, power rear gate, dual wireless charging pads, StarTex upholstery, the X-MODE system, and 18-inch wheels.

All trims come with EyeSight features including pre-collision braking, front cross-traffic assist, active lane-change assist, traffic-jam assist, lane-departure alert, adaptive cruise control, and emergency steering. Blind-spot monitoring, automatic wipers, a rear wiper, and headlight washers are also standard.

The Trailseeker Limited is priced at $43,995 and adds a Harman Kardon audio system, panoramic monitor, 20-inch wheels, heated rear seats, heated leather steering wheel, hands-free power gate, digital key, and a 120-volt outlet in the cargo area.

The Trailseeker Touring costs $46,555 and adds features such as a gloss-black hood accent, panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, radiant leg warmers, and optional two-tone paint. Optional blue and black leather upholstery is available for $300.

Color choices include Brilliant Bronze Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, Crystal White Pearl, Magnetite Gray Metallic, and Sapphire Blue Pearl. Daybreak Blue Pearl is available for an additional $395. The Trailseeker is assembled in Japan.
