Described by the company as “all-new,” the Trailseeker will not share design or platform elements with the Solterra, Subaru’s first mass-market EV co-developed with Toyota. The distinction is notable, as the Solterra has seen limited sales since its release in Canada and the United States

By its name alone, the Trailseeker is designed to appeal to Subaru’s traditional customer base, emphasizing utility and off-road capability. While full technical specifications are not availableat the moment, the SUV is expected to compete in the midsize EV segment, aagainst the VW ID.4, Nissan Ariya, Kia EV5/EV6, and others, and will be aimed at drivers looking for an adventure-ready vehicle with electric range and all-weather reliability.

Further product information, including Canadian pricing and powertrain details, is expected closer to its market launch.
