EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country, designed to tackle a bit more than a trip to the golf course.
This is a big red rig – the top of the six trim levels for the Tahoe, at 210.7 inches just under 16 inches shorter than big brother Suburban. The High Country – black moniker on each front fender – rides on 22-inch Bridgestone Alenza rubber wrapped around black 8-spoke wheels.
Inside, really usable three-row seating for six adults, maybe one more in the back row middle. And it now joins many other SUVs with an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and an 17.7-inch touchscreen – plus Wi-Fi and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with solid 10-speaker Bose system.
EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Subaru Trailseeker Limited – a totally new EV with some serious offroad vibes – Subie calls this its “most adventurous EV,” with 375-hp and 8.5 inches of ground clearance..
This Indiana-built Subaru sure shows an aggressive face, slim LED DRL units bisected by lit accent lines. Black plastic frames front and rear tires – 20-inch silver alloy wheels clad in somewhat street-biased Bridgestone Turanza rubber. It’s a familiar Outback-style SUV-like shape, with a grill-less EV face. It’s a blunter, more SUV-like visage than Subaru’s Solterra EV.
Inside, black and gray Star-Tex pleather seats, the driver getting power adjustments and dual memory presets and facing a squircle – squared-off circle. There’s two digital screens, a small number of physical controls, and a funky transmission controller on a floating center console. There’s decent adult-size room front and rear – comfy seating, all enjoying available cloud-based navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also 31.3 cu. ft. of rear cargo space, 74 w/seats folded.
It’s a pure EV – 190.8-inches long, on a 112.2-inch wheelbase – 8.5 inches of ground clearance. It’s 4,475 lbs., with an estimated 274 miles of range and 375-hp from two motors and a 74.7-kWh high-capacity lithium-ion battery. It’s quick – in Power mode – our 1,100-mile-old crossover leaped off the line, hitting 60 mph in a quick 4.3 seconds. And since Subaru adopted the North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug, we can use the slim (and quick) Tesla Supercharger charger so many places..

EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a steel and aluminum bulldog with an aggressive face, muscular shoulders and streamlined haunches.
The 2025 BMW X6M Competition takes their X5 SUV and gives it a sleeker fuselage atop serious 22-inch rubber and a very aggressive twin-kidney grill. It’s sleek, but tall.
Inside, an almost Italian exotic look and feel with lots of red and black leather, carbon fiber, Alcantara suede headliner, racing striped seat belts and illuminated M insignias in the seatbacks. And the driver gets a 27-inch infotainment screen to monitor the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8, paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system for 617 hp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque.
