Japan’s next big thing is here.

The Trailseeker is a big SUV, measuring about the same size as a Kia Sorento, but it only has five seats.

It brings dual motor grunt, which delivers Subaru’s trademark all-wheel drive grip. 

The two electric motors combine for 280kW and 537Nm (according to US versions), which allow it to sprint to 100km/h from a standstill in about 4.5 seconds.

At its heart is a circa-75kWh battery that delivers 533km of driving range in the base version and 488km in the Touring version.

The battery can accept up to 150kW of DC power, and up to 22kW when hooked up to an AC charger.

Prices for the two-tier range start at $67,990 (before on-road costs) and jump to $73,990 for the better equipped Touring version.
