Subaru Trailseeker EV Impresses Off-Road, But Ground Clearance Falls Short

The dual-motor Subaru Trailseeker EV, rated at 375 hp, handled an off-road course well thanks to X-Mode and all-wheel drive. Its main weakness is 8.5 inches of ground clearance—1 inch less than the Outback Wilderness—plus a longer wheelbase. The 74.7-kWh battery delivers up to 274 miles of range.
