Description:

The Subaru Solterra is a compact all-electric SUV developed through Subaru’s partnership with Toyota and built on a dedicated EV platform. For 2026, The Subaru Solterra receives significant updates to its battery system, motors, charging capability, suspension, and interior technology, addressing many of the limitations noted in earlier versions.

Range and Battery of the Subaru Solterra:

  • Uses a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, slightly larger than the previous version.
  • Estimated driving range reaches up to 430 km, with higher trims offering approximately 446 km.
  • Efficiency improvements contribute more to range gains than battery-size increases.
  • DC fast charging supports up to 150 kW, reducing 10–80% charging time to about 30 minutes.
  • Standard 11 kW AC onboard charger can recharge the battery in roughly 10–11 hours and now uses the NACS (J3400) charging connector.

Powertrain and Performance of the Subaru Solterra:

  • Dual-motor all-wheel-drive system is standard across the lineup, with outputs of 252 kW (338 hp) on all trims.
  • XT variants use a larger front motor and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in approximately 4.9–5.1 seconds.
  • New electric motors are smaller, lighter, and more efficient than before, contributing to improved performance and energy consumption.
  • Ground clearance remains at 211 mm, higher than many electric crossover competitors and beneficial for rough roads and light off-road use.
  • Revised suspension, steering system, and subframe improve ride comfort, stability, and control while maintaining a relatively smooth driving character.

Technology and Features of the Subaru Solterra:

  • Standard 14-inch touchscreen is the largest display fitted to a Subaru and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
  • Available 360-degree camera system includes terrain-view functions useful for maneuvering and off-road driving.
  • Dual wireless phone chargers, USB-C ports, and over-the-air connected services are available.
  • Touring models add heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, premium audio, and a digital rearview mirror.
  • X-Mode traction management, hill-descent control, and software-controlled torque distribution enhance capability on low-traction surfaces.
