EV Channels Review
The 2026 Subaru Solterra receives a notable refresh, aiming to address its previous shortcomings. Key improvements focus on drivetrain efficiency, leading to an increased estimated range of 288 miles and faster charging capabilities (10% to 80% in approximately 35 minutes). Styling has been refined for a more cohesive appearance, and suspension and NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) have been enhanced. The new XT model, tested here, boasts a powerful 338 hp dual-motor AWD setup, achieving 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds, with a less powerful 233 hp option also available. Pricing ranges from $38,000 for the Premium model to $48,000 for the XT Touring. While acknowledging the Solterra's origins as a compliance vehicle, the updates position it as a more competitive offering in the EV SUV segment, particularly for those seeking Subaru's AWD prowess in an electric package.
