The verdict

These two share a platform and most of their numbers: 375 hp with all-wheel drive, a native NACS port, a 150 kW fast-charging peak and an identical 281-mile EPA rating in base form. The difference is mostly price, and it's narrower than it was: Toyota's 2027 bZ Woodland is $45,380 before destination, so the Trailseeker Premium at $39,995 is $5,385 cheaper and the Limited $1,385 cheaper, while the Touring ($46,555) now costs $1,175 more. Toyota's published figures now give the bZ Woodland more cargo space (33.8 against 31.3 cubic feet) and an estimated 4.5-second 0-60 against Subaru's 4.3; the Trailseeker charges 10-80% two minutes quicker (28 against 30). The bZ Woodland's case is what comes with it: our NACS data lists CCS1 and J1772 adapters as standard, and Toyota publishes a Level 2 home-charging time (about 7 hours at 48 A), which we can't give for the Trailseeker because Subaru's published figure doesn't square with its battery size. With no brand preference, the base Trailseeker still gets you the same kind of car for less.

Price: the Subaru undercuts the bZ Woodland in its first two trims

Subaru prices the 2027 Trailseeker at $39,995 (Premium), $43,995 (Limited) and $46,555 (Touring) before a $1,475 destination charge, the same MSRPs as the 2026 model, and says the 2027 reaches retailers nationwide this fall. Toyota prices the 2027 bZ Woodland at $45,380 and the Woodland Premium at $47,480, before a $1,595 delivery charge (Toyota's Oct 2, 2026 price list). So the base Trailseeker is $5,385 cheaper than the base Woodland and the Limited $1,385 cheaper, while the Touring costs $1,175 more and Subaru's leather-upholstered Touring, a separate $46,855 price line, $1,475 more; both Touring lines still undercut the Woodland Premium. The extra money buys equipment rather than capability: all three Trailseekers share the 375 hp powertrain, and the Limited and Touring swap the Premium's 18-inch wheels for 20-inch ones, which lowers the EPA rating from 281 to 274 miles. Our insurance, resale and warranty data don't cover either model yet, so the sticker gap is the ownership difference we can measure.

Range, speed and charging: near-identical hardware

Base against base, EPA rates both at 281 miles. The bZ Woodland drops to 260 on all-terrain tires and the 20-inch-wheel Trailseekers to 274, so the configuration you pick matters more than the badge. Both are rated at 375 hp; Subaru quotes 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and Toyota an estimated 4.5 for the 2027 bZ Woodland, so treat the gap as one between published figures until the two are tested side by side (Subaru itself quoted 4.4 seconds for the 2026 Trailseeker). Fast charging is close too: both peak at 150 kW, and the 10-80% times in our table are 28 minutes for the Trailseeker and 30 for the bZ Woodland. EPA rates the base bZ Woodland and the 18-inch Trailseeker Premium at 29 kWh/100 mi, and the 20-inch-wheel Trailseekers at 30.

Charging access and who each suits

Both plug straight into Tesla Superchargers through a native NACS port, so neither needs an adapter there. For CCS1 fast chargers and J1772 Level 2 stations you need adapters: our NACS data lists both as standard with the bZ Woodland, while the Subaru documents we've read don't say whether the Trailseeker includes them, so ask the dealer. Subaru rates the Trailseeker to tow 3,500 pounds and lists 8.5 inches of ground clearance; we don't have Toyota's equivalent figures on file, so we can't compare them. Buy the Trailseeker if price decides it: the base car matches the bZ Woodland's range for $5,385 less. Buy the bZ Woodland if you'd rather deal with a Toyota dealer or want both charging adapters in the box.
