The Trailseeker’s base Premium trim doesn’t have a bZ Woodland equivalent, while the Limited and Touring are aligned with the Toyota’s two trims. The Trailseeker Premium starts at $41,445 including $1,450 for destination, an upcharge of only $1,500 over a base Solterra. For that price you get a 14-inch touchscreen with a great Toyota-derived infotainment system and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, that strangely positioned 7-inch gauge cluster screen, a pair of wireless chargers, a power tailgate, keyless entry and pushbutton start, ambient interior lights, heated and power-adjustable front seats with lumbar and memory for the driver, heated power-folding mirrors, automatic (and heated) windshield wipers, LED headlights with washers, and auto up/down front and rear windows. You also get Subaru’s whole EyeSight suite of driver-assist features, but the traffic-jam assist with hands-free driving under 25 mph requires a subscription that also includes navigation.
At $45,445 to start, the Trailseeker Limited is $1,305 less than the base bZ Woodland. It adds the 20-inch wheels, a Harman Kardon sound system that’s better than the Toyota’s optional JBL setup, and then a bunch of features also on the Toyota: a kick sensor for the tailgate, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, memory for the mirrors, a 1500W 120v outlet in the cargo area, digital key compatibility and a 360-degree camera system with off-road views. The $48,005 Trailseeker Touring is $845 cheaper than the higher-end bZ Woodland trim, adding the same digital rear view mirror, panoramic glass sunroof (with a powered shade!), radiant leg heaters and ventilated front seats. The Limited also opens up the option of leather upholstery and two-tone paint.
Subaru
Like I said in my bZ Woodland review, there aren’t really any competitors for these cars right now. I mean, are you shocked that no other companies have leapt into the electric wagon field? Subaru does say that more than a third of its customers would consider buying an EV, and across the board Subaru owners take their crossovers off-road more than anything else in their segments, especially when looking at the Solterra and Crosstrek. The 2026 Trailseeker slots neatly into the Subaru lineup, and it feels like it deserves the six-star badge. I can see it being an easy hit for Subaru, especially if the ads have dogs in them — 45% of Subaru buyers own dogs, after all, with that number rising to 52% for the Solterra.
