  1. This is the most ridiculous Subaru’s creation ever. I guarantee that once you hit the mountings for what is this car created for, you make 250 km max, so carry generator with you.

  2. Nicely done! Looking forward to a SuperCruise type function. Someday infrared deer/pedestrian detection will be as common as rearview cameras (which nobody thought they wanted until they were standard equipment)

  3. I have questions regarding driving aids. Is it possible on this Trailseeker to disable Lane Keep Assist and Radar Cruise Control and keep those OFF even after turning the car off and on? Also, can the emergency braking be set to alarm only? I can do those things on my current car (Hyundai Ioniq plug-in) and they stay OFF permanently, I'd hate to buy a new car and to have to turn these off every time I start the car.

  4. Not good enough with the Kilometers Subaru. I will never buy an Electric Car until they can do at least 1000km before charging. Plus a guarantee on how long the Batteries last. Tesla battery replacement are the cost of a new small car, outragious. Stick with Benzin until they get it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. These light bar on the Toyota model are so 1990, so fed up to see too many on the road. The shifter is not like the ford one, subaru is way better . Wireless phone charger without cooling, perfect to kill phone battery 👍👍👍🤣 i never use them and my 7 years old iPhone battery still last 1 full day easy without charging

  6. thanks very good review
    sounds about right this is more of an EV Outback from last generation with the wagon look.
    Like the wagon look and not the new boxy truck like.
    My negatives are > no spare tire / No AT tires / dashboard style > like the old style better.
    thanks

  7. This thing is fugly and cheap looking. Too much black plastic cladding on the outside, a 7" instrument cluster {way to small}, and an interior that looks 10 years out of date. Typical Toyota.

  8. I SO WISH that Subaru would let you choose what size wheel/tire combination you want on the Limited or Touring trim. Very poor decision to only have the 20" wheels on those trims. That alone, would steer me to the BZ Woodland instead of the Trailseeker.

  9. How's that steering when you have that driver display? I feel you are have to lower your steering level/height because of that display that sits in an odd place?
