Subaru Australia has announced local pricing and specifications for its upcoming Trailseeker electric off-road wagon, which is due locally in the next quarter of 2026. Positioned as a sleeker, electric-powered Outback but based on the Solterra electric mid-size SUV, the Trailseeker is priced from $67,990 plus on-road costs. Two Trailseeker models will be offered locally, with both using a single dual-motor drivetrain with a 74.7kWh battery providing up to 533km of WLTP range.

Twinned with the incoming Toyota bZ4X Touring, the Subaru Trailseeker is the second EV that Subaru will sell locally – the third, the smaller Subaru Uncharted, will arrive not long afterwards – with the Getaway (twinned with the electric Toyota Highlander) yet to be confirmed for our shores.

Like the Solterra, the Trailseeker uses a 74.7kWh battery for up to 533km of WLTP range (the Touring with its larger 20-inch wheels is less efficient and is rated at 488km instead). It can be charged at up to 22kW (AC) or 150kW (DC), and a 10-80 per cent charge reportedly takes as little as 30 minutes.

Both Trailseeker models use a dual-motor all-wheel drive set up making 280kW of power for a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 4.5 seconds, making it even quicker than the legendary WRX 22B.

Two Trailseeker models will be available: the base Trailseeker AWD and the upper-spec Touring AWD, with the former equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, a 14-inch touchscreen, dual wireless phone chargers, heated/electric front seats and a full suite of active safety features and the latter adding larger wheels, a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio and vehicle-to-load functionality.

“Trailseeker brings together attributes you rarely find in one vehicle. Genuinely quick, with the response and control of a performance car, the space and practicality of a large wagon, and the ground clearance and confidence of a true SUV. On the road it feels sharp, composed and effortless over distance – beyond it, that capability doesn’t fall away. The balance, traction and control are there to tackle back-country roads and real Australian terrain without hesitation” said Scott Lawrence, General Manager, Subaru Australia.
