Capitol Subaru of Salem is preparing for the arrival of a brand-new, fully electric 2026 Subaru Trailseeker SUV that expands the brand's commitment to electrifying innovation with the rugged capability Oregon drivers expect. The Subaru Trailseeker arrives with a dual-motor system, long-distance range, and a practical design for city commuting and outdoor adventures.
Electric Power with Real-World Strength
The new Subaru Trailseeker gets power from two electric motors working through Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) system, making 375 horsepower with immediate torque delivery in every condition. That figure positions the Subaru Trailseeker as one of the most powerful Subaru crossovers yet. It can tow up to 3,500 pounds, meaning drivers throughout Salem, OR, who need to pull a camper or small boat will have the strength required without turning to a gasoline alternative.
Range and Charging Confidence
A 74.7 kWh battery provides an estimated driving range of about 260 miles on a full charge. The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker uses a standard North American Charging System port, increasing access to the extensive supercharger network. Fast-charging capabilities can replenish most of the battery in under an hour. A built-in preconditioning system keeps charging times consistent, especially during the colder seasons around Keizer, OR.
Rugged Design
The Subaru Trailseeker has been engineered with the same outdoor focus as other Subaru SUVs. Ground clearance measures 8.3 inches, making dirt roads and uneven paths manageable. Protective cladding shields lower body panels, while available 20-inch wheels strengthen its stance that looks at home on the highway or at the edge of a trail outside Monmouth. Roof rails are standard, ready to support equipment like kayaks, cargo carriers, or bicycles.
Interior Space and Amenities
Inside the Subaru Trailseeker, function leads design. It has comfortable seats for up to five passengers and a high seating position for improved visibility around Dallas, OR. Standard water-resistant StarTex seating repels moisture and is easy to clean after camping or hiking trips. Fold the rear seatbacks for a flat load floor, improving cargo flexibility for gear or luggage.
Technology Integration
A standard 14-inch touchscreen anchors the center stack. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, multiple USB-C ports, and dual wireless charging pads are standard, ensuring devices remain powered. A 120-volt outlet in the cargo area provides electricity for tools or small appliances at a campsite. Subaru designed the multimedia system to respond quickly and to highlight navigation routes, charging stations, and driving data. Lincoln City, OR, area car buyers planning trips along the coast will benefit from real-time route planning and reliable charging information.
Get Subaru Safety in an EV
Every 2026 Subaru Trailseeker comes with the EyeSight Driver Assist suite, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and automatic pre-collision braking. A blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alerts are available to increase coverage in crowded traffic conditions. Off-road safety tools such as X-MODE and hill descent control are built in for improved traction and control when entering and leaving paved roads. The Subaru Global Platform underpins the 2026 Trailseeker with an architecture that manages crash energy effectively, forming the basis for its strong safety ratings.
