Subaru calls it a “go-anywhere, rugged SUV” with 8.3″ of ground clearance and its signature Symmetrical all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.
With a combined 375 hp, the big-body SUV can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, making it Subaru’s quickest production vehicle ever sold in the US. The added power enables it to tow up to 3,500 lbs.
Compared to the Solterra, the Trailseeker is over 6″ longer and nearly 1″ taller, opening up more interior space.

While the Tesla Model Y is slightly longer and wider, the Trailseeker is a bit taller and offers more ground clearance. Both offer about the same cargo space.
The rugged electric SUV offers up to 31.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity in the rear, or about the same as the 2026 Subaru Outback and slightly more than the Model Y (30 cu ft).
Subaru’s electric SUV uses a 74.7 kWh battery, providing a range of up to 281 miles on a single charge.

The range-topping Touring trim costs $46,555 and adds premium features, including a gloss-black hood accent, a panoramic glass roof with a motorized shade, and ventilated front seats and radiant leg warmers.

Got mine a week ago. My fifth Subaru and second EV.
The Tesla Model Y RWD is about the same price, starting at $39,990, but upgrading to AWD costs $41,990. The Tesla Model Y AWD offers an EPA-estimated driving range of 294 miles.
