Subaru Trailseeker EV First Drives Confirm Quick, Utility-Rich Package, Tempered by 150 kW Charging

Reviewers highlight Subaru-specific tuning with wagon-style packaging that targets loyal buyers.

Overview

  • The dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup pairs a 74.7‑kWh battery with 375 horsepower for a Subaru-quoted 0–60 mph in 4.4 seconds and up to 281 miles of range in base trim (274 miles on higher trims).
  • All models use the NACS charging port and cap DC fast charging at 150 kW, with Subaru estimating a 10%–80% session in about 28 minutes.
  • Cargo capacity measures about 31–32 cubic feet behind the second row and up to roughly 74 cubic feet with seats folded, and towing is rated up to 3,500 pounds with standard roof rails for extra gear.
  • Off-road-focused features include 8.5 inches of ground clearance, X-Mode terrain settings, hill-descent control, and Subaru-tuned AWD and regen strategies validated on a media course.
  • U.S. pricing spans roughly $41,445 to $48,005 across three trims and undercuts Toyota’s closely related bZ Woodland, while outlets conflict on final assembly location between Lafayette, Indiana, and a Subaru plant in Japan.
