Subaru Exploring Spare Wheel Options for the All-New Trailseeker EV
Subaru Australia Working on Solutions for Future Owners
As excitement continues to build around the arrival of the all-new Subaru Trailseeker, Subaru Australia has confirmed it is actively exploring spare wheel options for Australian customers.
The announcement follows growing interest in the brand's newest all-electric SUV, with many drivers asking whether a spare wheel will be available for Australia's latest Subaru EV.
While the Trailseeker currently comes equipped with a tyre repair kit, Subaru says it is working on potential solutions and will provide further updates when available.
Why Doesn't the Trailseeker Include a Spare Wheel?
Like many modern electric vehicles, the Subaru Trailseeker has been designed around a large high-voltage battery positioned beneath the vehicle.
This battery layout maximises driving range, cabin space and overall vehicle performance, but it also reduces the available space traditionally used to store a spare wheel.
As a result, the Australian Trailseeker is supplied with a tyre repair kit as standard.
Subaru Is Listening to Customer Feedback
Subaru Australia has acknowledged that many customers value the reassurance of carrying a spare wheel, particularly those who regularly travel long distances or enjoy exploring regional Australia.
The company has confirmed it is actively investigating spare tyre options specifically for Australian buyers.
While no official solution has yet been announced, Subaru's commitment demonstrates its focus on adapting vehicles to meet the needs of local customers.
Built for Australian Adventures
The Subaru Trailseeker has been engineered to deliver the confidence and capability Subaru owners expect.
Key highlights include:
- Dual-motor electric performance
- Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
- Up to 533km (WLTP) driving range*
- Spacious interior with flexible cargo space
- Fast DC charging capability
- Advanced Subaru safety technologies
Designed as a large all-electric SUV, the Trailseeker is equally at home on the daily commute or exploring beyond the city.
Spare Wheels Are Becoming Less Common in EVs
The Trailseeker isn't alone.
Across the Australian market, many electric vehicles now use tyre repair kits instead of spare wheels due to battery packaging and weight considerations.
As EV technology continues to evolve, manufacturers are balancing practicality, efficiency and driving range while exploring new solutions for roadside convenience.
Subaru's ongoing work on a dedicated spare wheel option reflects its commitment to delivering vehicles that meet the expectations of Australian drivers.
