2026 Subaru Trailseeker

The Subaru Trailseeker is a bigger version of the updated Solterra EV, and a twin to the Toyota bZ Woodland. Because it's more than six inches longer and nearly an inch taller than the Solterra and bZ (formerly bZ4X), the Trailseeker gets more cargo space than either of them. Like the 2026 Solterra, the Trailseeker gets a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery that can be preconditioned for fast charging in all weather conditions, a promise of 280 miles of range between charges, and a Tesla-style NACS charging connector. It comes standard with all-wheel-drive, roof rails, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and a 3,500-pound towing capacity. The interior is dominated by the same 14-inch horizontally oriented touchscreen used in many Lexus models.

Brand context

About Subaru

Subaru is known for no-nonsense SUVs with standard full-time all-wheel drive. Its cars frequently rank near the top of Consumer Reports’ Owner Satisfaction and reliability ratings, making some used Subarus a good choice. Along with all-wheel drive, Subarus are known for using a “boxer” style four-cylinder engine with opposing pistons that move horizontally. The design reduces vibration and gives the vehicle a low center of gravity. No Subaru would be considered luxurious, but most have options like heated seats and leather upholstery. Unfortunately, blind spot warning (BSW) and rear cross traffic warning (RCTW) are often optional, so buyers must pay extra for important safety features. Subaru hasn’t offered a hybrid since the plug-in hybrid Crosstrek was discontinued in 2024. The Solterra, a pure EV based on the Toyota bZ4x, charges slowly and has short range. Popular sports cars like the WRX and BR-Z show the brand’s wilder side.
