2026 Subaru Trailseeker Expands Subaru Australia's Electric SUV Range
Adventure enters a new era with the arrival of the all-new Subaru Trailseeker, the brand's largest and most capable battery-electric SUV offered in Australia. Joining the Subaru Solterra and the recently introduced Uncharted, the Trailseeker completes Subaru's growing Sport Electric Vehicle (SEV) portfolio, giving customers an electric option across the small, medium and large SUV segments.
Designed to combine everyday practicality with genuine adventure capability, the Trailseeker delivers strong electric performance without compromising Subaru's signature all-wheel drive confidence.
Fastest Subaru Ever Sold in Australia
Power comes from a dual-motor electric drivetrain producing a combined 280kW, enabling a 0–100km/h sprint in approximately 4.5 seconds, making the Trailseeker the fastest production Subaru ever released locally.
Energy is supplied by a 74.7kWh CATL lithium-ion battery, offering a WLTP driving range of up to 533km. When it's time to recharge, 150kW DC fast charging can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes, making the Trailseeker equally suited to weekday commuting and longer Australian road trips.
Built for Australian Roads and Off-Road Adventures
The Trailseeker remains true to Subaru's long-standing reputation for confident all-terrain performance.
Built on the e-Subaru Global Platform, the SUV features Subaru's renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system paired with Driving Trajectory Prediction Control, which proactively manages torque distribution to help maintain stability and control through changing road conditions.
For drivers heading beyond sealed roads, Dual-Mode X-Mode, Grip Control and 211mm of ground clearance provide extra capability on gravel, mud and other low-traction surfaces, ensuring the Trailseeker is just as comfortable off the beaten path as it is on the highway.
Modern Interior with Advanced Connectivity
Inside, the Trailseeker combines comfort with technology.
A large 14-inch high-definition touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while a 7-inch LCD Multi-Information Display keeps key driving information clearly in view.

Practical Cargo Space and Vehicle-to-Load Power
Practicality remains a key strength of the Trailseeker.
The flat-floor design provides 609 litres of cargo capacity in the Trailseeker AWD and 595 litres in the AWD Touring. A hands-free power tailgate makes loading easier, while standard roof rails allow owners to fit genuine Subaru crossbars for bikes, kayaks, roof boxes or rooftop tents.
Exclusive to the AWD Touring is a 220-volt, 1,500-watt Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) outlet, enabling the vehicle to power camping equipment, tools and electronic devices directly from the battery.
