Subaru of America, Inc. today revealed its newest model in the lineup and its second-ever 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 legendary 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.

Dynamic Capability
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive thanks to two powerful electric motors placed on the front and rear axles, making approximately 375 horsepower and offering towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. Equipped with X-MODE® Dual-Mode System with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud Modes, Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control, the Trailseeker is a ready off- and on-road companion for adventure.

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. Thanks 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, the Trailseeker offers ample space for people and their gear to explore the trails and beyond. The Trailseeker’s generous room is complemented by an open and bright interior that features a flat floor and ample legroom, creating a bright, airy cabin.

Advanced Design
The new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker adapts an iconic silhouette onto a next-generation powertrain with an all-new design. Compared to the Subaru Solterra, the Trailseeker is more than 6 inches longer and nearly an inch taller, with additional room dedicated to the rear for increased cargo space. It also features standard raised roof rails, providing greater carrying capacity and flexibility.

Along with the 2026 Solterra, the Trailseeker debuts a new Subaru EV lighting signature with a six-star illuminated logo, redesigned headlamps, a new front bumper design, and newly designed 20- and 18-inch wheels. Around the back, a three-dimensional SUBARU logo and rear gate garnish bring a distinctive nighttime lighting presence.

Inside, the open cabin is punctuated by a 14-inch touchscreen, the largest ever in a Subaru. Metallic finishes along the dash emphasize the horizontal theme, and a wide center console provides a centralized hub for devices and personal items for easy storage.

Intuitive Technology
The standard 14-inch Subaru Multimedia touchscreen offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility for entertainment on the go. Two wireless, 15W smartphone chargers keep devices charged, while two fast USB-C chargers keep rear-seat passengers connected.

All models are equipped with a suite of EyeSight® driver-assistance technologies, including Pre-Collision Braking, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitors, Lane Departure Alert, a panoramic view monitor, Emergency Stop Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, and more.

Subaru of America today announced its all-new, all-electric 2026 Subaru Trailseeker SUV will start at $39,995 MSRP when it goes on sale early next year. The go-anywhere, rugged SUV features standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a 14-inch Subaru Multimedia System touchscreen, a powerful combined output of 375 horsepower, generous passenger and cargo space, and an estimated range of approximately 280 miles on a single charge.

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker will be available in three trim levels: Premium, Limited, and Touring. The Trailseeker features 8.3 inches of ground clearance and X-MODE® Dual-Mode System with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud Modes, Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control for off-road adventures. On the road, the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system was designed to deliver excellent straight-line stability and control on varying surfaces. That’s due to acceleration sensors at the front and rear of the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, which adapt to dynamic load while accelerating, braking, or turning and help power the correct wheels for improved traction and stability. With 375 horsepower, the 2026 Subaru 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 Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system found in the Trailseeker for improved performance thanks to 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, for improved confidence while driving.

Powered by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker includes a standard North American Charging Standard (NACS) charge 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 speeds 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 Subaru Trailseeker features a new Subaru 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 garnish offer a distinctive nighttime lighting presence.

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

Inside, the bright cabin features a 14-inch touchscreen, which is the largest ever in a Subaru vehicle. Metallic finishes along the dash emphasize the calming, horizontal themes throughout the interior. 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 trimmed leather upholstery available on Trailseeker Touring models.
