"Subaru has massively upgraded the Solterra for model year 2026. The electric crossover now gets a bigger battery for more driving range, a healthy jump in horsepower, faster charging speeds, a Tesla-style charging port for seamless Supercharger access and chassis upgrades that make the ride smoother and more refined. You'd think that might come with a big price hike. Not this time: The Solterra Limited trim is slightly cheaper, although new range-topping versions cost marginally more."
"The 2026 Solterra starts at $38,495 before destination for the base Premium trim. That's great value for an EV which now gets upgraded front and rear electric motors with silicon carbide semiconductors, producing 233 horsepower (up from 215 hp). You also get a 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery (up from 72.8 kWh), which delivers 288 miles of range (up from 227 miles). All-wheel drive is standard on the Solterra."
"Subaru said that's just a 2% bump in battery capacity, but thanks to better cell insulation, upgraded cooling, new motors and improved aerodynamics, it translates into a massive 26% gain in range. The Limited trim starts at $41,395, which is $600 less than before. It carries the same powertrain and chassis upgrades as the Premium, but adds a Harman Kardon sound system, heated steering wheel, 20-inch wheels and a multi-terrain surround-view camera."
Subaru increased the Solterra's battery to 74.7 kWh and upgraded front and rear motors with silicon carbide semiconductors, raising output and enabling faster charging and a Tesla-style port for Supercharger access. Range increases to 288 miles from 227 miles—a 26% gain—despite only a 2% increase in nominal battery capacity due to better cell insulation, upgraded cooling, new motors and improved aerodynamics. Power ranges up to 338 hp with AWD standard and the upgraded powertrain produces 233 hp in standard form. Chassis tuning improves ride comfort and highway composure. Pricing starts at $38,495 for Premium; Limited starts at $41,395.
