The Subaru brand’s all-new all-electric SUV is now a trail-ready machine. Add a little more focus on comfort, technology, and premium travel to the Subaru Trailseeker Touring with its all-new electric SUV. With 375 horsepower from its dual-motor electric powertrain, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 8.5 inches of ground clearance, and a range of more than 280 miles, it can do more than just get you to the office. The Carson City drivers will like the Touring if you’d like an EV that is equally at home as a highway daily driver, on a snowy trail, or on a weekend getaway.
All Trailseekers come with twin electric motors that deliver 375 hp, so you don’t need to move up to a high-performance powertrain to experience rapid acceleration with the Touring. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive has power directed to the wheels constantly, while dual-mode X-MODE with Grip Control provides 4wd-mode options to help with snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud. It’s an EV built for access to and off the beaten track.
With the right gear, the Trailseeker can pull as much as 3,500 pounds. It can charge from 10-80% in as little as 28 minutes with fast charging and compatible chargers, and the NACS port will get you access to the Tesla Supercharger network. That’s a combo that will appeal to the folk looking for an EV that won’t keep them limited to short local jaunts.
Where the Touring separates itself is inside the cabin. It builds on the Trailseeker’s practical EV foundation with features designed to make longer drives more comfortable:
These additions make the Touring particularly relevant to drivers who spend significant time behind the wheel. Heated and ventilated seats can be useful across Nevada’s seasonal temperature swings, while the panoramic roof and upgraded audio system give the cabin a more relaxed atmosphere for road trips.
The practicality of a Subaru SUV remains in the Trailseeker. The elevated stance, standard AWD, X-MODE and 8.5 inches of ground clearance get you down the driveway and to the camp site in what snow, rough, or unpaved roads may be. The Touring then makes a good all-around family wagon that still hauls camping gear, sports equipment, or weekend cases.
Its EV powertrain also changes the character of everyday driving. There is no traditional gasoline engine shifting through gears, and electric motors provide immediate response. For Carson City commuters, that means smooth acceleration around town and direct power when joining faster-moving traffic.
The Premium is a smart choice for shoppers who want a basic EV that gets the job done. There are a handful of upgrades, although they aren’t substantive-such as a Harman Kardon sound system, 20-inch wheels, a heated steering wheel and rear outboard seats, Panoramic View Monitor, and some extra comfort features. The Touring has the panoramic glass roof, front seats that are both heated and cooled, Leg Room Radiant Heaters, and an advanced rear-view mirror.
If you want the Trailseeker’s AWD capability but place greater importance on quiet long-distance comfort and premium cabin equipment, the Touring deserves closer attention.
At Michael Hohl Subaru, Carson City shoppers can experience how the Trailseeker Touring differs from the Premium, Limited, and other Subaru SUVs. Comparing charging needs, daily mileage, winter driving, cargo requirements, and weekend travel plans can help determine whether this upper-trim electric SUV fits your routine. The goal is not simply to choose more equipment, but to choose the configuration that makes sense for how you actually drive.
How does the Trailseeker Touring compare to the Limited?
The Touring takes the Limited’s features and adds the comfort package, which gets you a glass roof with power sunshade, heated and ventilated front seats, driver and front passenger radiant leg heaters, and a smart rear-view mirror. The same two 20-inch alloy wheels, Harman Kardon premium sound system, heated steering wheel, and heated rear outboard seats are offered. The underpinning mechanics of the Ascent are unchanged: 375-horsepower dual-motor set-up, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.5 inches of ground clearance.
How many miles does the Trailseeker Touring go on a charge?
Travel Range: The Trail Seeker has an estimated range of more than 280 miles. Actual range may be significantly affected by many factors, including temperature, terrain, vehicle speed, driving style, and other factors. With an available fast charger, Subaru estimates that the Trail Seeker can be charged from 10% to 80% in around 28 minutes, assuming you’re using an appropriate fast charger. The availability of NACS charging capabilities opens up access to the Tesla network of fast-charging stations.
Is the Trailseeker Touring suitable for winter driving?
Touring features the same standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, dual-function X-MODE, Grip Control, and 8.5 inches of ground clearance, which are great for snow, dirt, mud, and other terrain. The Touring adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear outboard seats, and radiant leg heaters, which might come in handy during cold mornings in Carson City. AWD alone is no substitute for winter tires or getting your bearings on the road when the conditions are slick or the visibility is poor.
Can the Trailseeker Touring tow a trailer?
Yes. With the proper trailer hitch, the TrailSeeker has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. This range offers some advantages for suitable recreational trailers and other uses. Towing can adversely affect the Trailseeker’s driving range, so shoppers may want to examine the trailer’s weight along with terrain, weather, speed, and charging opportunities for long-distance travel. While AWD with a dual-motor system produces 375 horsepower, traction is controlled with forward speed, driver input, and trailer type and frequency.
Is touring a good option if I want to take long road trips?
The Touring is perfect for those who prioritize warm and cool cabin comfort for longer rides. Heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic glass roof, premium Harman Kardon sound, heated steering wheel, smart rear-view mirror, and radiant leg heaters all have a way of shining through during long drives. Outfitted with more than 280 miles of available range, fast charging, and NACS access, we can assist Carson City drivers in comparing the Trail Seeker trims to determine which fits their travel and charging plans.
