The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker electric SUV has opened for orders in Australia, priced from $67,990 before on-road costs.

The Trailseeker features two electric motors, one on each axle, for all-wheel drive and a combined output of 280kW, claimed to dash from zero to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds.

It uses a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery for a claimed WLTP driving range of 533km for the entry-level Trailseeker AWD, and 488km for the top-spec AWD Touring. Both grades accept 150kW DC fast charging for a claimed 10 to 80 per cent charge time of 30 minutes.

Based on the $63,990 to $69,990 Solterra, the Trailseeker gains a longer rear overhang and taller roofline for more rear-seat and boot space, with 18-inch alloy wheels on the base model and 20-inch alloys on the Touring.

Inside, it shares the Solterra's 14-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, and ambient lighting.

The flagship Touring model adds a Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic sunroof and 220-volt/1500-watt vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability for powering external devices, automatic parking assist, and two-tone upholstery.

It offers a suite of safety features, including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with lane centring, and speed sign recognition.

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker is available to pre-order now on the brand's website.
