2026 Subaru Trailseeker/E-Outback: electric SUV specs, range, price

Subaru has brought the new 2026 Trailseeker to the U.S.—an electric SUV that Europe will see as the E-Outback. The brief is clear: preserve the brand’s outdoorsy DNA, but wrap it in a modern EV that fits daily life and spontaneous escapes beyond the city.

In terms of size, 32CARS.RU notes it’s a substantial piece: roughly 4.84 m long, nearly 1.90 m wide, and about 1.67 m tall. Expect noticeably more interior space than the Solterra, plus the kind of practicality Subaru traditionally champions over showroom flash. The article lists a 912-liter cargo bay, factory roof rails with a high permissible load, 21 cm of ground clearance, and a towing capacity of up to 1,587 kg—a toolkit for those who actually carry gear and travel off the postcard routes.

The hardware brings character, too: all-wheel drive with revised torque distribution logic and X-MODE off-road settings for snow and mud. Total output comes to 375 hp, with 0–96 km/h taking 4.4 seconds. A 74.7-kWh battery targets about 450 km on the EPA cycle. That’s less than a base Tesla Model Y, but the focus here leans toward versatility and confident traction on mixed surfaces.

Charging peaks at a modest 150 kW by today’s standards. The upside is a U.S. starting price of $39,995, significantly undercutting the Model Y in the same market. If Subaru keeps a similar positioning in Europe, the E-Outback stands a real chance with buyers who want not the trendiest EV, but a straightforward family crossover with genuine options for trips and rougher roads.
