Super Quick…But Compromised: Subaru’s Electric Wagon

Despite not having any EVs on sale just three short years ago, Subaru has now launched its third in the Trailseeker, effectively a fully electric alternative to the iconic Outback. And the 280kW dual-motor wagon is the quickest Subaru production model ever released, bar none! Priced from $63,990, Subaru’s large SUV sits above the Solterra medium SUV () and soon-to-launch Uncharted small SUV (). With a wagon silhouette and off-road focus, the Trailseeker stands out from on-road focused SUVs like the popular Tesla Model Y and Zeekr 7X, though it does have a closely related cousin in the Toyota BZ4X Touring which will soon launch in Australia.
