Subaru of America announced its all-electric 2026 Subaru Trailseeker SUV.

The starting MSRP is $39,995 when it goes on sale early next year. The Subaru features standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, a 14-inch touchscreen multimedia system, and a combined output of 375 horsepower. The vehicle includes generous passenger and cargo space, and an estimated range of approximately 280 miles on a single charge.  

The Trailseeker will be available in three trim levels: Premium, Limited, and Touring. It features 8.3 inches of ground clearance and an X-MODE dual-mode system with various snow and mud modes, grip control, and downhill assist control for off-road adventures.

On the road, the all-wheel-drive system was designed to deliver straight-line stability and control across varying surfaces. That’s due to acceleration sensors at the front and rear, which adapt to dynamic loads during acceleration, braking, or turning and help power the correct wheels for improved traction and stability. With 375 horsepower, the Trailseeker launches from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, making it the quickest production Subaru model sold in the U.S. yet.

Subaru engineers refined the all-wheel-drive system in the Trailseeker to improve performance given its all-electric powertrain. Those changes include a variable torque split for the regenerative braking system and power distribution among the wheels, front-to-rear and left-to-right, to improve driving confidence.

Powered by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, the Trailseeker includes a standard North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging port, which unlocks access to more than 25,000 charging stations across the U.S., and can recharge up to 80% in as little as 28 minutes at up to 150 kW on a fast charger. With an onboard battery-preconditioning system, enabled either by navigating to a charging destination or by the driver via touchscreen controls, the Trailseeker can charge its battery in cold climates at speeds comparable to those in normal weather conditions.

Alongside the 2026 Subaru Solterra and 2026 Subaru Uncharted, the exterior of the 2026 Trailseeker features a new EV light signature at the front with a six-star illuminated logo, new headlamp and front bumper design, and distinctive 18- and 20-inch wheel designs. At the back, a three-dimensional SUBARU logo and rear gate details provide nighttime lighting.

The Trailseeker offers 32.2 cubic feet of cargo room in the rear – enough for four large suitcases and comparable to the 2026 Outback – and a 700-pound static load capacity for its standard roof rails. Rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds, the Trailseeker offers versatile options for hauling people and gear to the trailhead. Compared to the Subaru Solterra, the Trailseeker is than 6 inches longer and nearly 1 inch taller, with additional room inside for passengers and more cargo.

The cabin features a 14-inch touchscreen, which is the largest ever in a Subaru vehicle. Metallic finishes are along the dash. A large center console provides a centralized hub for device charging and personal-item storage. Gray or black StarTex-trimmed upholstery is standard on all Trailseeker models, with black-and-blue leather upholstery available on Trailseeker Touring models.

2026 Subaru Trailseeker Premium

Starting at $39,995 MSRP, the Premium offers a long list of standard equipment: a 14-inch multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, heated front seats, a distraction-mitigation system, power rear gate, dual wireless smartphone charging pads, StarTex-trimmed interior upholstery, X-MODE Dual-Mode System, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with wheel covers.

Standard on the Premium and all models is EyeSight Driver Assistance Technology, including pre-collision braking, front cross-traffic alerts, lane change assist, traffic jam assist, lane departure warning, cruise control, and emergency steering. All Trailseeker models are equipped with Blind Spot Monitors, automatic windshield wipers, a rear window wiper, and headlight washers.

2026 Subaru Trailseeker Limited

The Trailseeker Limited adds more features for $43,995 MSRP. Those include a Harman Kardon speaker system, a panoramic-view monitor, 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, heated rear seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power rear gate with a hands-free kick sensor, a digital key, and a 120-volt AC power outlet in the rear cargo area.

2026 Subaru Trailseeker Touring

For $46,555 MSRP, the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker Touring adds more features than the Limited, including a gloss-black hood accent, a panoramic glass roof with motorized shade, ventilated front seats and leg warmers, optional two-tone paint, and optional blue-and-black leather-appointed upholstery for $300 MSRP.

The 2026 Trailseeker will be available in six colors: Brilliant Bronze Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, Crystal White Pearl, Magnetite Gray Metallic, and Sapphire Blue Pearl. Daybreak Blue Pearl is also available, with an MSRP of $395. The Trailseeker is assembled in Japan.
