Subaru has unveiled two new all-electric vehicles at the 2025 New York International Auto Show. The brand displayed its newest model, the all-new Subaru Trailseeker, alongside the new 2026 Subaru Solterra.
The new Subaru Solterra adds significant improvements to overall driving performance, battery efficiency, styling, and cabin comfort. An increase in range, up more than 25% compared to the previous model, is achieved thanks to a newly added battery preconditioning system. When navigating to a charging station or activated by the driver, the Solterra’s battery works to maintain optimal charging temperature, even in cold weather.
Additionally, the new Solterra also benefits from a new and improved high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack, which charges from 10% to 80% in less than 35 minutes at speeds up to 150 kw, even in sub-zero temperatures.
The 2026 Solterra also debuts an all-new Subaru EV lighting signature with redesigned headlamps, a new front bumper design, and newly designed 20- and 18-inch wheels. Around the back, a new rear badge, rear gate garnish, and spoiler bring a distinctive nighttime lighting presence and improve aerodynamic performance. The new Solterra is due to launch in the UK in early 2026.
The all-new Subaru Trailseeker combines its EV architecture with a familiar shape while retaining the brand’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and award-winning safety features. The all-new vehicle, named Trailseeker in the US, although the moniker for Europe and the UK is yet to be confirmed, is set to go on sale in the UK in mid-2026.
Both the Trailseeker and new Solterra incorporate a suite of EyeSight® driver-assist technologies, including Pre-Collision Braking, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitors, Lane Departure Alert, a panoramic view monitor, Emergency Stop Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, and more.
All-new 14-inch Subaru Multimedia touchscreens with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility are fitted to both vehicles, relaying entertainment, weather, and vehicle information. New, wireless 15w smartphone chargers for the driver and front passenger are standard and rear, high-power USB-C charge points keep devices ready while on the go.
Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system comes standard with both vehicles for increased capability off-road. All models feature X-MODE® with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes with Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control for confidence in low-grip or off-road capability. Both SUVS offer 8.3 inches (210mm) of ground clearance for genuine off-roading ability and dexterity – a Subaru hallmark.
UK Pricing and detailed UK specifications will be available for both vehicles closer to their respective launch dates. The new Solterra is expected in the UK in early 2026, followed by the Trailseeker in mid-2026.
