The Honest Ladder
There isn't one โ Premium is where the Trailseeker starts, and the entry point already includes everything that defines the car: all 375 hp, the complete off-road kit, the full ~281 miles, the big screen. Subaru put the capability in every trim and saved the ladder for comfort. If you're here for the mission, you're done.
Limited at $43,995 adds $4,000 of genuinely-useful-at-the-campsite equipment โ Harman Kardon audio, heated rear seats, the hands-free power gate, and a 120V outlet in the cargo area. If your weekends involve tailgates, dogs, and gear, that outlet alone gets used more than you'd think. If they don't, keep the $4,000 โ the adventure hardware is identical right here.
No pressure either way โ we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $39,995 or $46,555.

Straight Answers
The questions buyers ask right before they decide on this trim.
It's the lineup's best-kept secret: every trim gets the full powertrain and the full off-road kit. At $39,995 starting MSRP you get all 375 horses โ the exact same powertrain as the $46,555 Touring โ X-MODE with Grip Control, the full 8.5 inches of clearance, roughly 281 miles of range and the 14-inch screen. Premium isn't a lesser Trailseeker.
18-inch wheels and cloth-level trim โ functional rather than fancy โ and the campsite-comfort kit. Harman Kardon audio, heated rear seats, the hands-free power gate and the 120V cargo outlet all live on the Limited, $4,000 up the ladder. Not one bit of capability is held back at the entry price.
It depends on your weekends. The Limited at $43,995 starting MSRP adds genuinely-useful-at-the-campsite equipment โ Harman Kardon, heated rear seats, hands-free power gate, and a 120V outlet in the cargo area that gets used more than you'd think. If your weekends don't involve tailgates and gear, keep the $4,000; the adventure hardware is identical.
Yes, and that deserves extra diligence rather than a shrug. It's a first-year nameplate, so we walk you through warranty coverage and your charging setup in writing before you commit to anything. We'd rather raise that ourselves than have you discover it later โ it's the honest caveat on an otherwise strong entry price.
