Subaru adds first spare-wheel option for Trailseeker
Subaru Australia has announced that the all-new Trailseeker now gains a locally developed Genuine Subaru Australia Underfloor Spare Wheel Kit, with the brand’s news page describing the accessory as strengthening the model’s claim as an adventure-focused battery-electric vehicle. Subaru’s Trailseeker page says the accessory is available to fit before vehicle delivery, while the news item and FAQ material state that pre-orders are open now and fitment is scheduled to start before Christmas, with more specific guidance saying fitments are expected from early December. Torquecafe reported the same accessory launch and identified the kit as the first time Subaru has offered a spare wheel with the Trailseeker globally. 162
Pricing and accessory conditions
Subaru Australia has priced the underfloor spare wheel kit at $1,145. The same accessory is described by Subaru as a space-saver spare wheel that sits beneath the cargo floor and includes the jack and tools needed for wheel replacement. Torquecafe, CarSauce and CarExpert all reported that the kit can be ordered for both new Trailseekers and vehicles already on the road, with fitment before Christmas 2026; Subaru’s own page also says the kit can be fitted to new delivery orders. CarExpert additionally noted that the Trailseeker is one of the few EVs in Australia to offer a spare-wheel option, though only as a space-saver rather than a full-size spare. 2456
Towbar details and towing figures
Subaru has also introduced a Genuine Subaru Australia Towbar for the Trailseeker. Subaru lists the accessory at $1,189.59 and says it can be fitted before delivery or to vehicles already in service, with pre-orders open and fitment expected from early December or prior to Christmas. The accessory enables a 1,500kg braked towing capacity and 750kg unbraked towing capacity, figures repeated in Torquecafe, CarSauce and Subaru Australia’s own material. 2467
Trailseeker specification and launch context
The accessory update does not change the Trailseeker’s core specification as published by Subaru. Subaru lists the model as a five-seat, all-terrain electric wagon on the e-Subaru Global Platform, using a dual-motor system with 280kW combined output, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a 74.7kWh CATL battery, 211mm of ground clearance, 150kW DC fast charging, 22kW AC charging and a claimed WLTP range of up to 533km for the AWD variant and 488km for the Touring variant. Subaru’s February launch statement said the Trailseeker would join the Australian SUV line-up in Q2 2026, and its later accessory announcement says the vehicle is now further equipped for Australian adventures. 3679
Prices, variants and published comparisons
Subaru Australia’s manufacturer list prices are separate from drive-away estimates published by third parties. Subaru lists the Trailseeker AWD at $67,990 and the Trailseeker AWD Touring at $73,990, both as manufacturer’s list prices excluding dealer delivery and other government and statutory charges. By contrast, the MyNRMA review published on 18 June 2026 quoted prices from $67,990 before on-road costs, while CarExpert’s model page later displayed Sydney-based drive-away estimates of $69,307 to $75,607 and its variant pages listed Base from $69,307 and Touring from $75,607. Those figures are presented on different pricing bases and dates, and should be read as separate published references rather than a direct like-for-like comparison. 398
