Subaru has announced pricing and specifications for the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, which will arrive at United States dealerships in early 2026. The all-new electric midsize SUV from Subaru is similarly priced as the smaller Solterra model and offers slightly more range than initially hinted.

Range: 280 Miles

When initially announced, the Subaru Trailseeker was expected to get more than 260 miles of range on a single charge using its 74.7-kWh battery pack. Now, the Japanese manufacturer expects the model to have approximately 280 miles of estimated range.

The official EPA numbers are not yet available, and we assume that the maximum 280-mile value will apply only for the entry-level trim with 18-inch wheels. The larger 20-inch wheels in the higher trims usually cut the result slightly.

Charging: 10-80% SOC in 28 Minutes

The Subaru Trailseeker is equipped with a NACS (SAE J3400) charging port for AC and DC charging scenarios. However, the location of the charging inlet on the right front fender (passenger’s side) is questionable, as it might be inconvenient in tight garages.

DC fast charging from 10% to 80% state of charge (SOC) will take 28 minutes, which sounds “okay”. The peak power level is 150 kW, although the average in the 10-80% SOC window should be closer to 110 kW.

Assuming a range of 280 miles, the vehicle can replenish 196 miles in 28 minutes at an average rate of 7 miles/minute during DC fast charging.

Subaru EVs gained access to the Tesla Supercharging network in October. The Subaru Trailseeker will be able to directly use the majority of Tesla Superchargers in North America (over 25,000 stalls available to Tesla’s NACS partners), just like other NACS chargers. Access to CCS1 chargers (and SAE J1772 AC charging points) will require an adapter — CCS1-to-NACS and J1772-to-NACS (AC), respectively.

At the time this article was written, Subaru had not released any information about the onboard charging specs. We guess that it will be on par with the 2026 Subaru Solterra — 11 kW, but it requires confirmation.

The two higher trims (Limited and Touring) will include a basic power export feature in the form of a 120-volt AC power outlet in the rear cargo area.

Prices

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker starts at an MSRP of $39,995 plus a $1,450 mandatory destination charge ($1,600 in some states), bringing the effective minimum cost to $41,445.

2026 Subaru Trailseeker MSRP:

• Premium: $39,995
• Limited: $43,995
• Touring: $46,555

Overall, the pricing level is similar to the smaller, 2026 Subaru Solterra model (MSRP from $38,495). The Subaru Trailseeker is not only larger, but it has more power, can accelerate quicker (0-60 MPH in 4.4 seconds), and has better off-road capabilities:

“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.”
