Summary
$63,990 buys Subaru’s new Trailseeker AWD, a two-variant electric medium SUV that tops out at $69,990 for the Touring and expands the brand’s EV lineup beyond the Solterra.
280kW from twin motors and a 74.7kWh battery make it Subaru’s quickest production model, with a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds and DC fast-charging up to 150kW.
533 km of claimed range for the base AWD beats the Touring’s 488 km, while the cheaper model also rides more comfortably on 18-inch wheels than the Touring’s 20-inch setup.
609 litres of boot space, 211 mm of ground clearance and a five-star ANCAP rating bolster its family-SUV pitch, though the base car misses V2L and the range lacks OTA updates or connected services.
Built in Japan on a shared Subaru-Toyota EV platform, the Trailseeker sits against the Toyota bZ4X Touring, Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 as Subaru broadens its three-model EV push.
