The all-new Subaru Trailseeker is set to arrive in New Zealand with two new accessory options designed to add practicality and versatility to Subaru's first all-electric, all-terrain wagon.

Subaru New Zealand has announced a locally developed Underfloor Spare Wheel Kit and Genuine Towbar for both Trailseeker variants, offering drivers greater flexibility for everyday journeys, towing and weekends away.

More Capability for Every Adventure

Whether you’re heading away for the weekend, towing recreational equipment or exploring beyond the city, the Subaru Trailseeker is designed to take you further.

The newly announced Underfloor Spare Wheel Kit provides added peace of mind when travelling, with a space-saver spare wheel that fits neatly beneath the cargo floor without compromising luggage space.

Priced at $1,299 RRP plus fitment, the kit will be available from January 2027 and can be installed on both new and existing Trailseeker vehicles.

For drivers looking to tow, Subaru has also developed a Genuine Subaru New Zealand Towbar specifically for the Trailseeker.

Available from January 2027, the towbar offers:

  • 1,500kg braked towing capacity
  • 750kg unbraked towing capacity
  • $1,399 RRP plus fitment

Together, these accessories add another level of practicality to Subaru’s first large all-electric, all-terrain wagon.

Both the Underfloor Spare Wheel Kit and Genuine Subaru New Zealand Towbar will be available to purchase through Winger Motors from January 2027. Get in touch with your local Winger Motors Subaru team to learn more about accessory options, pricing and fitment.

All-Electric Performance. Subaru Capability.

The Subaru Trailseeker brings together the benefits of electric driving with the all-wheel-drive capability Subaru is known for.

Powered by dual electric motors producing a combined 280kW, the Trailseeker can accelerate from 0–100km/h in approximately 4.5 seconds under controlled conditions.

With up to 533km of WLTP driving range, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Dual-Mode X-Mode and 211mm of ground clearance, the Trailseeker is designed for everything from everyday commutes to longer journeys and outdoor adventures.

Its spacious five-seat wagon design also provides room for passengers, luggage and the gear that comes with an active lifestyle.

When Will the Subaru Trailseeker Arrive in New Zealand?

Interest in the all-new Subaru Trailseeker is already strong, with Subaru New Zealand confirming that its first allocation has sold out.

The first Trailseeker vehicles are expected to arrive for test drives from late November 2026, giving Kiwi drivers their first opportunity to experience Subaru’s new all-electric wagon.

With its combination of electric performance, all-wheel-drive capability and newly announced accessories, the Trailseeker offers an exciting new option for drivers looking to make the move to electric without leaving adventure behind.
