2026 Subaru Trailseeker review

Subaru Trailseeker: everyday electric done well enough. Illustrative review

7.8/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker is a strong contender in its class. Well-organized infotainment; easy to see out of and park. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $45,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Great daily driver

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.

★★★☆☆Lillian G. · Charlotte, NC · 5 months owned
Exactly what we needed

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
