Subaru's Electric Offensive: Two New SUVs Hitting Canadian Shores This Spring

TL;DR: Subaru, known for its rugged all-wheel-drive, is getting serious about electric. They're dropping two brand-new electric SUVs, the Trailseeker and the Uncharted, in Canada this spring. With triple the EV options and that sweet NACS charging port, it looks like Subaru's ready to electrify your next adventure!

Meta: Subaru is tripling its electric vehicle offerings in Canada this spring with the launch of two all-new SUVs: the rugged Trailseeker and the compact Uncharted, both featuring NACS ports and competitive pricing.

Alright, my Canadian friends, if you've been lookin' for a Subaru that runs on electrons instead of dino juice, your wait is almost over! Subaru just dropped the deets on two brand-spankin'-new electric SUVs, the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker and the 2026 Subaru Uncharted, set to roll into dealerships this spring. That's right, they're triplin' their EV lineup! It's like a family reunion, but everyone's electric and ready for adventure.

Trailblazing into the Electric Frontier

First up, you got the Trailseeker. This ain't your grandma's grocery-getter, unless your grandma's into serious off-roading. It's Subaru's most capable electric SUV yet, longer and taller than the Solterra, with more space for your gear and your crew. Under the hood, or where the hood used to be, you've got a dual-motor AWD system pumpin' out 375 horses, powered by a 74.7 kWh battery for up to 420 kilometers of range. That's enough to get you to the cabin and back, even if the 'cabin' is a little further than you thought.

And for those who like to get down and dirty, the Trailseeker boasts 210 millimeters of ground clearance, 1,500 kilograms of towing capacity, and all that Subaru X-Mode magic. Plus, it's got a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port as standard, so you know it's ready to plug and play. Inside, you're lookin' at a massive 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and all the EyeSight safety tech you can shake a stick at. Sounds like a party on wheels!

Uncharted Territory for the City Slickers

If the Trailseeker is for the wilderness warrior, the Uncharted is for the urban explorer. This smaller, subcompact electric SUV shares its platform with the Toyota C-HR, but don't let its size fool ya. It packs a larger 77 kWh battery, offering up to 480 kilometers of range for the FWD version and 460 km for the AWD. Perfect for zipping through city streets or finding that hidden coffee shop on the edge of town.

Just like its big brother, the Uncharted comes with a standard NACS port and can DC fast charge up to 150 kW, so you'll be back on the road in about 30 minutes. It's all about convenience, baby! These new Subarus are comin' in hot, with the Trailseeker starting at CAD$54,995 and the Uncharted at CAD$42,995. Looks like Subaru's not just talkin' the talk; they're walkin' the electric walk.

What’s Next

Keep an eye out for these two new electric SUVs hitting Subaru dealerships across Canada this spring. Their success will be a key indicator of how a traditional rugged brand can transition to electric while maintaining its core identity. With a broader EV lineup, Subaru is clearly aiming to capture a wider segment of the Canadian EV market.

So, if you're ready to go electric and still get that 'Subaru feel,' these new rides might just be your ticket. Because life's a journey, and now you can take it with less guilt. Preach!
