Canadian model reference
Subaru
Subaru's all-new, adventure-focused electric SUV, with about 375 hp, standard all-wheel drive and 2026 Canadian pricing from $54,995 MSRP, according to Subaru Canada. A research reference built around the questions EV shoppers ask, not a marketplace listing.
The Trailseeker is a five-seat electric SUV that is larger than the Solterra, more than 150 mm (5.9 in) longer and nearly 25 mm (1.0 in) taller, with a larger cargo area. It has a 74.7 kWh battery, two motors for standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive and about 375 net hp. Subaru Canada priced the all-new 2026 model in January 2026 for a spring 2026 launch, from the Touring at $54,995 to the Premier at $60,995 MSRP. Subaru's range figure is preliminary, not an official NRCan rating. Legroom, cargo behind the rear seat, charge rates and warranty come from Zack and Andrea Spencer's MotorMouth review notes on the 2026 model, which is the model on this page, converted to metric.

Drawn from 368 comments on MotorMouth's 2026 Trailseeker review posted since 2023 on the MotorMouth YouTube channel. Question themes sit apart from verified vehicle facts and help prepare a more useful test drive.
Subaru Canada priced the all-new 2026 Trailseeker on January 15, 2026: the Touring is $54,995, the Limited $57,995 and the Premier $60,995 MSRP. Subaru Canada said it would go on sale at dealers nationwide in spring 2026.
Ask for the all-in price with freight and fees, and confirm which federal and provincial incentives apply to the trim you want on the day you buy.
Subaru Canada estimates up to 420 km (261 mi) for the 2026 Trailseeker in ideal conditions. This is a preliminary figure, subject to final confirmation and not an official NRCan rating, and Subaru notes range can drop by more than 50 percent in non-ideal conditions.
Map your longest regular winter trip, and ask the dealer whether the official NRCan rating has been published.
The Trailseeker has a NACS port and battery preconditioning for fast charging in warm or cold weather. MotorMouth's notes list DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, about 30 minutes from 10 to 80 percent, and an 11 kW onboard charger that takes about 8 hours from 10 to 100 percent on Level 2. Plug and Charge starts a session automatically at select networks.
Ask whether an adapter or a home charger is included, and try a fast charger near your home if you can.
Zack and Andrea titled their review the closest EV to an Outback. The Trailseeker has standard raised roof rails, a six-star illuminated logo and three-dimensional SUBARU lettering on the rear gate, and it is more than 150 mm (5.9 in) longer than the Solterra, with a larger cargo area and a taller roof.
If you are weighing it against an Outback, bring the same gear to both test drives and compare the cargo areas.
With about 375 net hp from two motors, the Trailseeker has strong acceleration. Zack and Andrea note a softer suspension, a quiet cabin and steering that is easy to manoeuvre in tight spots, with regenerative braking controlled by paddles on the steering wheel.
Try the regenerative braking paddles in traffic, and drive over a rough road to feel the ride.
Standard Symmetrical AWD comes from a motor on each axle, with X-MODE Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes, Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control. Ground clearance is 210 mm (8.3 in), and Zack and Andrea note a radiant leg heater for the front seats that works with the heated seats.
Budget for winter tires, and ask the dealer to show you X-MODE and the battery preconditioning settings.
MotorMouth's notes list 1,069 mm (42.1 in) of front legroom and 897 mm (35.3 in) in the rear, the same as the Solterra, with up to 886 L (31.3 cu ft) behind the rear seat. Subaru Canada describes a flat floor and a wide centre console, and the Trailseeker can tow up to 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).
Bring your usual cargo, bikes or camping gear, and fold the rear seat to check the load floor.
Every 2026 Trailseeker has a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two 15W wireless phone chargers and two fast USB-C chargers for the rear seat. Standard driver assists include EyeSight, a panoramic view monitor, Emergency Stop Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist and Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control.
Pair two phones on the chargers, and ask the dealer to demonstrate Traffic Jam Assist and Lane Change Assist on the highway.
