About the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker

It blends serious electric power—coming in at a stout 375 hp—with the confidence of standard All-Wheel Drive, making it perfect for navigating messy driveways or weekend escapes. While it seats five comfortably, it’s surprisingly manageable in the city too, measuring 190.8 inches long and 73.2 inches wide. For daily hauling, you get a respectable 31.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind those rear seats. The four available trims, starting at $39,995, offer a strong package for those needing an electrified crossover that doesn't shy away from real-world driving demands.
