The Finer Details
Primed to sit above the mid-sized Solterra, the Trailseeker is known in Europe as the E-Outback – which tells you all you need to know about its positioning in Subaru’s range: it’s the brand’s new flagship SUV.
A pair of electric motors output a combined 280kW and provide symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) to help launch the family bus from 0-100km/h in a claimed 4.4 seconds, making the Trailseeker the quickest factory Subaru to date.
Its 74.7kWh CATL battery provides a cruising range of up to 533km and can be recharged at up to 150kW on DC power, yielding a 10-80 per cent top-up in “approximately” 30 minutes.
AC charging can be done at up to 22kW (three-phase) while vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities are capped at 1500 watts.
The whole package stands 211mm off the ground – lower than an Outback – and can tow up to 1500kg braked.
The Road Ahead
The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker will arrive in local showrooms in the second quarter of the year, with pricing and specification details to be announced closer to its release. However, expressions of interest are already being taken.
It’s almost certain to become the most expensive model in Subaru Australia’s range, as well as the quickest, given the Solterra tops out at near enough $70,000 plus on-road costs.
