Standard all-wheel drive, up to 288 miles of range, and much faster charging for 2026. Here's what you actually need to know about Subaru's all-electric SUV.
Think everyday electric SUV, but with standard Subaru AWD and enough clearance to still feel like a Subaru.
The Solterra is Subaru's all-electric five-seat SUV. For 2026, it gets the updates people were waiting for: substantially more range, faster charging, a NACS charging port, and more power.
