Episode 462: 2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport, 2026 Subaru Trailseeker

Author: Unnamed Automotive Podcast August 16, 2026 Duration: 1:02:51

The show starts with Sami reviewing the 2026 Toyota 4Runner, with his tester featuring limited equipment and the entry-level powertrain. How does this impact his impression? Quite a bit, it seems!

Then the show pivots to EVs with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, which looks good but can't seem to shake a few significant concerns. Then Sami's weekly feature returns with his inspection of a manual, all wheel drive sedan. Thanks for listening!

Note: We reached out to Subaru to confirm the Trailseeker's battery size as 74.7 km. This makes Benjamin and Sami's observed range 389 km / 243 miles, versus the advertised up to 444 kms and 281 miles (depending on wheel size). It's a drop of 14 percent.

You’re probably used to car reviews that stick to horsepower figures and trim levels, but Unnamed Automotive Podcast takes a different exit. Each week, automotive journalists Benjamin and Sami sit down to tear apart the latest models and the industry at large, but they do it with a blend of genuine expertise and unscripted humor that feels more like a conversation in a garage than a formal critique. They get into the weird quirks of car culture, share honest opinions that often bypass the usual press kit talking points, and aren’t afraid to laugh at the absurdities they encounter. This isn’t just specs and performance data-though that’s in there, too-it’s about the stories, the personalities, and the unexpected moments that happen when you’re truly passionate about cars. Tuning into this podcast feels like hanging out with two friends who happen to know everything about automobiles, making it a perfect mix for anyone who loves cars, comedy, or just hearing a fresh, unfiltered take. You’ll find their chemistry drives the discussion, turning each episode into a ride that’s as entertaining as it is informative.
