Genuinely Useful, Not Just Nice.

Limited's additions aren't showroom sparkle โ€” they're the campsite-genuinely-useful stuff. Every one of them earns its keep on an actual weekend away, which is why we call this the sweet spot for most Trailseeker buyers.

What Limited Adds

Over Premium โ€” $4,000 of stuff you'll actually touch.

  • Harman Kardon audio โ€” the drive to the trailhead is half the trip
  • Heated rear seats โ€” the back row stops being second class
  • Hands-free power gate โ€” arms full of firewood, tap of the foot
  • A 120V outlet in the cargo area โ€” air pumps, camp lights, gadget charging, the works
  • Everything Premium has stays: all 375 hp, X-MODE, full clearance, ~281 miles, Outback-sized cargo

The Honest Trade-Off

Where the money goes โ€” and where it stops.

  • The $4,000 over Premium is all comfort and convenience โ€” capability is identical, so garage-to-office drivers should think hard about Premium
  • The indulgence layer โ€” panoramic glass roof, ventilated seats โ€” lives on Touring, $2,560 further up
  • First-year nameplate: we'll walk you through warranty coverage and charging setup in writing before you commit

$43,995 starting MSRP* โ€” your out-the-door number comes in writing before you set foot on a lot.

Step Down? Step Up?

Step down?

Premium at $39,995 saves you $4,000 and gives up zero capability โ€” the 375 hp, the off-road kit, the range, and the cargo space are all identical. If your weekends are more farmers-market than fire-road, or the budget's doing double duty with a home charger install, step down with our blessing.

Step up?

Touring at $46,555 adds the indulgences โ€” panoramic glass roof, ventilated seats, radiant leg warmers. It's $2,560 of pure comfort on top of a car that's already comfortable, and the capability doesn't change one watt. Beautiful trim, honest math: only step up if those specific features made you smile just now.

No pressure either way โ€” we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $39,995 or $46,555.

Every 2026 Trailseeker Trim

Questions People Actually Ask.

The questions buyers ask right before they decide on this trim.

Is the Trailseeker Limited worth it?

Its additions aren't showroom sparkle โ€” they're the campsite-genuinely-useful stuff, which is why we call it the sweet spot for most Trailseeker buyers. At $43,995 starting MSRP you get Harman Kardon audio, heated rear seats, a hands-free power gate, and a 120V outlet in the cargo area for air pumps, camp lights and charging.

Does the Trailseeker Limited have more capability than the Premium?

No โ€” the $4,000 over Premium is all comfort and convenience. All 375 hp, X-MODE with Grip Control, the full clearance, the roughly 281 miles of range and the Outback-sized cargo area are identical at $39,995. Garage-to-office drivers should think hard about the Premium before spending the difference.

Trailseeker Limited vs Touring โ€” which should I get?

Touring at $46,555 starting MSRP adds the indulgences: panoramic glass roof, ventilated seats, radiant leg warmers. That's $2,560 of pure comfort on a car that's already comfortable, and the capability doesn't change one watt. Only step up if those specific features made you smile just now โ€” otherwise the Limited already has the useful half.

Is the 120V outlet in the Trailseeker Limited actually useful?

More than you'd think, if your weekends involve tailgates, dogs and gear โ€” air pumps, camp lights, gadget charging, the works. It's part of the $4,000 Limited package alongside Harman Kardon audio, heated rear seats and the hands-free power gate. If your Trailseeker lives between a garage and an office, it's the feature you'll never plug into.
