Subaru Solterra – Subaru has updated its Solterra electric SUV for 2026. The upgrades include more power, greater range, and some downward price adjustments.
Subaru Solterra is one of my favourite electric vehicles. It is a lot to fun to drive and retains the Subaru DNA for adventurous drivers.
With 212 mm of ground clearance, Dual Mode X-Mode and Drive Mode Select, the vehicle maintains its capability, allowing drivers to explore far beyond the normal roads and highways.
The designers addressed one criticism of the outgoing model regarding range by incorporating a larger 74.7 Kw/h lithium ion battery, which now provides a WLTP range of up to 566 km.
Combined with that is a lift in power from the dual electric motors up to 262 kW.
Not only does it have more range and power, but it will charge faster with maximum charging increased to 22kW.
Inside the first thing you notice is the 14 inch central touch screen. This houses the infotainment and wireless smart phone connectivity. Complimenting that is wireless charging as well for compatible devices.
New LED ambient lighting offers 64 customisable colours, while acoustic glass and refined suspension tuning help ensure a quieter, more composed drive.
With some styling upgrades the Solterra also has a more athletic yet sleek exterior look.
Pricing for the 2026 Subaru Solterra starts from $63,990 plus the usual costs.
All, these changes are needed to keep the Solterra competitive with the ever growing list of EV models available.
