Powertrain Specs, Charging and Range
Power for the 2026 Trailseeker comes from an AWD dual-motor setup that puts out a total of 375 hp; that’s enough to scoot the Trailseeker to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, a feat that Subaru says makes the electric SUV the fastest car the marque has ever sold in the stateside. A 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery helps the Trailseeker achieve up to a manufacturer-estimated 280 miles of range (official EPA figures are not yet available).
When it comes time to charge, the Trailseeker should get owners back on the road quickly. Subaru says that with charging speeds of up to 150 kilowatts on a DC fast charger, the Trailseeker can charge from 10%-80% in just 28 minutes. If you need to tow — and don’t mind taking a chunk out of your overall range to do it — the Trailseeker is rated to haul up to 3,500 pounds.
