Subaru Trailseeker

Subaru Trailseeker

FROM $63,990

Subaru launched the first-generation Subaru Trailseeker large SUV globally in 2026. The initial design brief focused heavily on offering zero-emission motoring without sacrificing the all-terrain capability of traditional wagons. It aimed to provide regional and suburban families with a spacious five-seat layout, high ground clearance and dual-motor capability.

It leverages a dedicated high-voltage platform co-developed with Toyota. This architecture incorporates a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery package and dual electric motors producing 280kW of power. Structural updates emphasise lower, wider packaging compared to boxier rivals while maintaining a permanent all-wheel-drive system.

The vehicle wears the Subaru Trailseeker badge in the Australian market. North American and European showrooms distribute the same vehicle under closely related global nomenclature to match local fleet line-ups. Positioned as a premium electric alternative to the petrol-powered Outback, it competes directly against mid-tier electric family wagons.

Subaru Trailseeker Speed

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker is capable of doing the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.5 seconds, making it the fastest production Subaru car ever offered in Australia.

Subaru doesn't list an official top speed but it should easily travel at least 150km/h.

Subaru Trailseeker Range

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker has a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery pack sourced from CATL.

WLTP claimed range for the entry-level trim is 533km, which shrinks down to 488km in the flagship AWD Touring trim due in part to the larger 20-inch alloy wheels.

WLTP claimed combined energy consumption is 15.4kWh/100km and 16.8kWh/100km, respectively. This allows for a theoretical driving range of 444km to 485km, depending on the trim level.
