Subaru Trailseeker

The 2027 Subaru Trailseeker starts at $39,995 MSRP for the Trailseeker Premium and runs to $46,555 for the Trailseeker Touring across the 3 configurations we track. With Subaru's $1,475 destination fee, that comes to $41,470 to $48,030 before tax, registration and options. By trim: Trailseeker Premium, $39,995 ($41,470 with the destination fee); Trailseeker Limited, $43,995 ($45,470 with the destination fee); Trailseeker Touring, $46,555 ($48,030 with the destination fee).

EPA rates the 2027 Trailseeker Premium, on 18-inch wheels, at 281 miles. The Limited and Touring, on 20-inch wheels, are rated at 274 miles. EPA efficiency is 29 kWh per 100 miles for the Premium and 30 for the 20-inch trims. Real-world range will be lower at sustained highway speeds and in freezing weather, and much lower when towing.

Subaru quotes 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds for the 2027 Trailseeker, from two 167 kW motors making 375 hp combined. Subaru gives one time for the model rather than one per trim; the three trims share the powertrain. Subaru says that makes the Trailseeker the quickest production Subaru sold in the US.

Subaru quotes 10% to 80% in as little as 28 minutes on a DC fast charger, at up to 150 kW, and the native NACS port plugs straight into Tesla Superchargers. For home charging, Subaru doesn't publish the Trailseeker's onboard AC charger rating, so we don't quote a Level 2 time; a 240-volt Level 2 charger is still the practical way to charge overnight.

Yes. Subaru's 2026 and 2027 Trailseeker specifications list a native NACS charge port on the right-front fender, so it can use Tesla Superchargers without an adapter. Subaru's documents we read don't say whether CCS1 or J1772 adapters come with the car, so check with the dealer if you plan to use older CCS1 fast chargers or J1772 Level 2 stations.

Subaru rates the 2027 Trailseeker to tow up to 3,500 pounds. It also has 8.5 inches of minimum ground clearance and X-MODE with Deep Snow/Mud settings. Towing cuts an EV's range sharply, so plan charging stops around a much shorter distance than the 274-to-281-mile EPA rating.

Subaru lists 31.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 74.0 cubic feet with them folded, by EPA measure. The Touring's standard panoramic moonroof trims those figures to 30.4 and 71.8. The Trailseeker seats five, and it's classed as a midsize SUV in our database, like Toyota's bZ Woodland.

On paper they're close: both are midsize, 375-hp, all-wheel-drive SUVs with native NACS ports. In our database the Trailseeker is quicker (4.3 seconds 0-60 against 5.0), charges a little faster (28 minutes 10–80% against 30) and has slightly more cargo space (31.3 cubic feet against 30). EPA range is similar: 274 to 281 miles for the Trailseeker, 260 to 281 for the bZ Woodland AWD.

Subaru announced 2027 Trailseeker pricing on July 2, 2026 and said the 2027 would reach retailers nationwide later that fall, at the same MSRPs as the 2026 model, which Subaru priced in December 2025. Both model years carry the same EPA ratings, 281 and 274 miles, and Subaru's 2027 release quotes 0-60 in 4.3 seconds.

Yes — all 3 Subaru Trailseeker configurations in our database are all-wheel drive. Dual-motor (or tri-motor on performance variants) setups deliver improved traction and faster acceleration than comparable single-motor EVs.

The Subaru Trailseeker seats 5.

No. The federal Clean Vehicle Credit (IRC §30D) expired on September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — no new EVs purchased on or after October 1, 2025 qualify. State incentives remain available: see our /deals page for current rebates in California, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other states. The Section 30C EV Charger Tax Credit (for home charger installation) expired June 30, 2026 — if your charger was placed in service on or before that date, you can still claim it (30% up to $1,000) on your 2026 return via IRS Form 8911.

Real-world data from EV fleets suggests modern lithium-ion EV batteries (2020+) retain roughly 85–90% of their original capacity at 100,000 miles and 80–85% at 200,000 miles.

The Subaru Trailseeker battery warranty is 8 years / 100,000 miles. Subaru hasn't published a capacity floor or transfer terms for it in the material we've read, so check the warranty booklet before you rely on either. Compare it with every other EV in our EV battery warranty rankings.
