2026 Subaru Trailseeker Feels Like A Subaru Wagon Should

2026 Subaru Trailseeker Feels Like A Subaru Wagon Should

In customer clinics where Subaru showed regular-degular people the 2026 Trailseeker, most of them apparently guessed it was a Subaru even though the badges were covered up, according to the automaker. Pull quotes with descriptors given by said customers like “rugged and adventurous” and “spacious and versatile” are shown to us during Subaru’s morning presentation on our drive day for the brand’s new electric wagon, followed by lots of psychographic data about how genuinely outdoorsy, environmentally conscious and pet-loving its buyers are. Subaru clearly knows its customers, especially in this segment.

Unlike the Subaru Solterra/Toyota bZ and Subaru Uncharted/Toyota C-HR, the development and engineering of which Subaru and Toyota split pretty evenly, Subaru took on the bulk of the work for the Trailseeker and its Toyota bZ Woodland twin, including manufacturing them. Subaru is the master of affordable, off-roady wagons, after all, and with the Outback having grown tallier and boxier there’s room for the Trailseeker to come in and snatch up EV-curious folk whether they’re long-term Subaru fans or new to the brand. While the Trailseeker isn’t that different from the bZ Woodland at the end of the day, this wagon pair do feel the most Subaru-like out of the six EVs, and the Trailseeker’s design and lower price give it a definite leg up over the Toyota.

Want An Electric Outback? The Subaru Trailseeker Is Your Answer

Want An Electric Outback? The Subaru Trailseeker Is Your Answer

I have been avoiding something for years. I am a twenty-something guy who lives in San Diego, has a dog, hikes a lot, and loves to camp inside his SUV. Everyone on Earth knows what I should be driving: a Subaru Outback. I know it, too, but truth be told I’ve always found the modern Subie wagons to be quite boring.

Enter the Trailseeker, an electric Outback-sized SUV with plenty of ground clearance, a massive cargo hold, excellent driving dynamics, and a whopping 375 horsepower.

It’s fantastic. In fact, with two small changes, it could become one of my favorite EVs on sale.

Subaru Asks Owners If They’d Buy a Manual Transmission SUV Again

Subaru seems keen on reintroducing a manual transmission SUV. The automaker recently sent out a survey to owners asking a few questions to gauge interest in a reintroduction. The last manual Subaru SUV left the brand’s lineup three years ago, but the survey specifically asks whether owners would consider buying a stick-shift SUV in the future. A screenshot shared to Reddit shows the survey, which asks if owners would “consider… Read More →

Subaru Might Take Another Stab At A Small Pickup Truck

Subaru Might Take Another Stab At A Small Pickup Truck

Subaru has some priors as a small pickup truck manufacturer. In the 1970s and 1980s, Subaru built the BRAT, which avoided the prohibitive Chicken Tax by bolting seats into the bed. The Japanese brand revived the concept in the 2000s with the Outback-related Baja, which had a four-year run from 2003 to 2006. Following the Ford Maverick’s sales success, there have been rumors that Subaru may return to the American… Read More →

Subaru Wants to Put a Real Clutch Pedal in an Electric Car

Subaru Wants to Put a Real Clutch Pedal in an Electric Car

If you trawl around patent databases long enough, you’ll spot something interesting from time to time. This time around, it comes from Subaru, and it might change the dynamic of performance EVs should the company push through and actually build it. Forget simulated gear shifts (sorry, Ioniq 5 N, we still love you), Subaru is thinking of a way to add a true manual mode to battery-powered vehicles, clutch and… Read More →
