Subaru introduces all-electric 2026 Subaru Trailseeker EV
17 April 2025
Subaru of America revealed its newest model in the lineup and its second all-electric SUV, the all-new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.
The newest addition to the Subaru lineup introduces a new propulsion system to a familiar shape while retaining the brand’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and award-winning safety features. The all-new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker will go on sale at retailers nationwide in 2026.
The name Trailseeker was developed to highlight the SUV’s go-anywhere attitude with 8.3 inches of ground clearance, exceptional capability, and usable passenger and cargo space.
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive thanks to two electric motors placed on the front and rear axles, making approximately 375 horsepower and offering towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. Trailseeker is equipped with X-MODE Dual-Mode System with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud Modes, Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control.
Powered by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion, high-capacity battery, the 2026 Trailseeker delivers more than 260 miles of range from a single charge. Due to an onboard battery preconditioning system, the Trailseeker can be ready for fast charging in warm or cold temperatures, and a standard NACS charging port offers more on-the-go charging options.
Developed by Subaru engineers, the 2026 Trailseeker upgrades every drive with a unique suspension and all-wheel-drive system tuned to deliver straight-line stability and control on various surfaces. Using acceleration sensors in the front and rear, the Trailseeker adapts to the dynamic load while accelerating, braking, or turning, powering the correct wheels for improved traction and stability.
With a larger cargo area and taller roof, compared to the Solterra, Subaru’s first EV, the Trailseeker offers ample space for people and their gear to explore the trails and beyond.
Pricing and detailed specifications will be available closer to launch in early 2026.
