"The Subaru Trailseeker managed 262 miles on a single charge, about 12 miles shy of the EPA estimate. The test was conducted on a 60/40 city-to-highway split at an average speed of 40 miles per hour."
"A 12-mile shortfall isn't catastrophic, but it's not a great look for an EV trying to win over new buyers. The bar for how far EVs can go on a single charge has risen sharply over the past few years."
"Three hundred miles of range has become increasingly common among new EVs, and automakers are pushing further, with models like the BMW iX3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC EV going beyond 400 miles."
The Subaru Trailseeker, an all-electric wagon, is set to launch in the U.S. this spring with an EPA-estimated range of 281 miles. However, real-world testing by Edmunds revealed a range of only 262 miles on a single charge, falling short of expectations. The test conditions were more forgiving than the EPA's, yet the Trailseeker still underperformed. As the EV market evolves, achieving 300 miles of range has become standard, making the Trailseeker's performance less impressive in comparison to competitors offering over 400 miles.
