Power meets wilderness in Subaru’s latest electric offering. The new Trailseeker SUV packs a serious punch with its all-electric powertrain delivering 375 horsepower, enough to make traditional gas-guzzlers question their life choices. Priced at $39,995, it’s Subaru’s bold move into the EV market, bringing their renowned all-wheel-drive system to the electric landscape.
Acceleration figures don’t lie. The Trailseeker sprints from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.3 seconds. That’s quick. Really quick. Especially for something designed to get muddy. Dual electric motors – one for each axle – provide Subaru’s signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, ensuring balanced traction across varying terrain.
Off-road enthusiasts won’t be disappointed. The Trailseeker comes equipped with dual-function X-MODE, offering specific settings for Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud conditions. Short overhangs and 8.3 inches of ground clearance mean this thing can crawl over obstacles that would leave other EVs crying for a tow truck. The vehicle’s instant torque delivery makes quick work of challenging ascents and technical terrain.
Charging won’t be a headache either. The Trailseeker supports the North American Charging Standard, giving access to over 15,000 fast-charging stations. It handles up to 150kW charging speeds. Cold weather? No problem. Battery pre-conditioning technology keeps things running smoothly. This addition to America’s renewable energy growth helps address the rising electricity demand while maintaining performance and utility.
Inside, practicality reigns. The flat rear floor maximizes space, while water-resistant StarTex upholstery means you can actually use this SUV for, well, utility. The massive 14-inch touchscreen handles entertainment duties with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Because who doesn’t need to stream their hiking playlist? The open, airy cabin creates a comfortable atmosphere for all passengers during long adventures.
Safety features include Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technologies. The system keeps an eye on things so you can focus on the trail ahead. Or the mall parking lot. No judgment.
With 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, the Trailseeker handles weekend toys with ease. Boats, trailers, camping gear – bring it all. This isn’t just another electric crossover pretending to be rugged. It’s Subaru’s electric DNA in full display.
