"The 2026 Subaru Trailseekernot officially an electric Outback, but that's what it is effectivelywill have an estimated 280 miles of range when it goes on sale early next year, the company announced on Thursday. When the Trailseeker first broke cover earlier this year as Subie's second-ever electric vehicle, the company touted a less impressive range of "more than 260 miles." It may only by 20 extra miles, but psychologically at least, I think 280 miles sounds a lot more appealing"
"Pricing just got announced too. The Trailseeker starts at $39,995 for the base Premium trim, before destination fees. That's a $5,000 premium over the latest Outback. Actually not bad, though the Outback has ballooned to full-blown SUV proportions and is a slightly bigger vehicle. Total cargo space for the Outback with the seats down is 80.5 cubic feet, versus 74 for the EV."
"The Trailseeker is a much-needed addition to Subaru's EV game and it adds something new to the EV market at large. So it's nice to see it taking shapewith even better specs than originally anticipated. How will it do in today's low-energy EV environment? I think it has a real shot at success, given how Outback die-hards there are out there. I'd wager a lot of those customers are EV-curious, and some may even be put off by the new Outback's decidedly non-wagon vibe."
Subaru's 2026 Trailseeker electric crossover will offer an estimated 280 miles of range and go on sale early next year. The base Premium trim starts at $39,995 before destination fees, about $5,000 more than the latest gasoline Outback. The Trailseeker provides 74 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats down compared with the Outback's 80.5 cubic feet. The Trailseeker represents Subaru's second electric model and aims to attract Outback enthusiasts and EV-curious buyers who prefer a wagon-like alternative to the larger, SUV-styled Outback. Improved range and competitive pricing could broaden Subaru's EV appeal.
