EV Channels Review
The 2026 Subaru Solterra receives a significant overhaul, addressing key criticisms of its predecessor. Subaru has enhanced efficiency and range through new motors and a slightly larger battery, now offering up to 288 miles of range and 50% faster charging. The XT trim boasts 338 horsepower, though the reviewer notes a front-biased power delivery. Off-road capability remains a strong suit, with 8.3 inches of ground clearance setting it apart from competitors. Interior updates include a standard larger touchscreen and improved charging speeds. However, the driving position and rear seat legroom are noted as areas where it doesn't excel compared to some rivals. Despite a slight compromise in cargo space due to the sloping rear, the Solterra is finally a recommendable EV for those prioritizing Subaru's traditional off-road prowess in an electric package.
