SYDNEY: In Australia, pre-orders have opened for the all-new Subaru Trailseeker SEV (sport electric vehicle), a 280kW (380PS) all- terrain wagon that brings genuine SUV (sport utility vehicle) capability.
Underneath, a high-output dual-motor system delivers instant performance, working seamlessly with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-Mode.
The Trailseeker offers a 0–100kph sprint of 4.5 seconds – in a five seat all-terrain wagon with 211mm of ground clearance and a driving range of up to 533km.
The 74.7kWh CATL battery sits low and centrally within the structure, contributing to handling that is precise and planted.
Dual-mode X-Mode with a Multi-Terrain Monitor and Downhill Assist Control extend that confidence beyond sealed roads.
Meanwhile, 150kW DC fast-charging capability brings the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in 30 minutes, while an available 22kW AC option suits customers with access to three-phase power.
The exterior is low and wide with a raked roofline, and sculpted bonnet that give it a more dynamic profile.
A full-width lighting signature at the front and rear, large-diameter alloy wheels and integrated roof rails reinforce its dual-purpose character.
Inside, the cabin has a 14-inch infotainment high-definition touchscreen, complemented by a seven-inch LCD Multi-Information Display and flanked by physical controls for key functions.
Premium synthetic leather trim, a digital rear view mirror, dual wireless phone chargers, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and multi-colour ambient lighting are standard.
The flagship AWD Touring variant adds a premium Harman Kardon audio system, panoramic glass roof with an electric retractable sunshade, blue and black leather accented seat trim and ventilated front seats.
Subaru Safety Sense, Subaru Vision Assist and a Driver Monitoring System (DMS) enhance confidence on every journey.
AWD Touring variants add Advanced Park Assist, featuring four Panoramic View Monitor cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors, for added convenience when parking.
"Trailseeker brings together attributes you rarely find in one vehicle. Genuinely quick, with the response and control of a performance car, the space and practicality of a large wagon, and the ground clearance and confidence of a true SUV," said Subaru Australia general manager Scott Lawrence.
"We believe it sets a new benchmark for what an electric vehicle can be, and we're excited to see it out on Australian roads," he added.
The all-new Trailseeker joins the updated Solterra, and the all-new Uncharted in a Subaru electric range now united under Subaru’s SEV category.
