- Subaru has announced pricing for the 2026 Solterra will start at $38,495.
- That’s the same as its predecessor, but the EV lands as the tax credit expires.
- Up to 288 miles of range and new 338 hp XT trim headline the updates.
Subaru introduced the partically redesigned Solterra earlier this year, and now the company has announced pricing will start at $38,495. That’s the same as its predecessor, despite boasting more than a 25 percent increase in range.
Kicking things off is the entry-level Solterra Premium, which has a face worthy of the witness protection program. While it’s bland and generic, the model features an illuminated logo that is flanked by new headlights. Buyers will also find rain-sensing wipers, a power liftgate, and restyled 18-inch alloy wheels.

The interior eschews odd design touches and now features a freestanding 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an all-new 14-inch infotainment system. They’re joined by a new dashboard and a revamped center console, which sports a dual 15 watt wireless smartphone charger.
Elsewhere, there’s a leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated StarTex front seats with 10-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. The crossover also has ambient lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink.
Speaking of equipment, the model has Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Hands-Free Low Speed Driving, and Emergency Steering Assist. They’re joined by Front Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Alert, Emergency Stop Assist, a Blind Spot Monitor, and Collision Avoidance Assist with Automatic Steering.
Power comes from a new 74.7 kWh battery pack, which delivers 288 miles (463 km) of range. It’s paired to an upgraded dual motor all-wheel drive system developing 233 hp (174 kW / 236 PS). Other notable highlights include an uprated 11 kW onboard charger and a new North American Charging Standard (NACS) port.
A Cheaper Limited Trim
Moving up the trim ladder is the Solterra Limited, which starts at $41,395. That’s $600 less than last year’s model and it’s distinguished by larger 20-inch wheels as well as power-folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals. Buyers will also find a dual rear spoiler and a power liftgate with a kick sensor.
The upgrades extend to the cabin, which has been equipped with a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. They’re joined by a Harman Kardon premium audio system, a power passenger seat, a 120V rear power outlet, parking assist, and a Panoramic View Monitor.
The powertrain carries over, but the range drops to 278 miles (447 km). However, you can upgrade to the Limited XT for $42,895. This is a no-brainer as it features an upgraded dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 338 hp (252 kW / 343 PS). It enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than five seconds and Subaru says the range is unchanged at 278 miles (447 km).
A Range-Topping Touring XT
Last but not least is the range-topping Solterra Touring XT, which begins at $45,555. It focuses on luxury as buyers will find heated and ventilated fronts seats with radiant leg warmers. The model also sports a digital rearview mirror, a panoramic moonroof, LED footwell lighting, and a retractable cargo cover.
The 2026 Solterra will arrive at dealerships this fall and customers who buy or lease the EV will receive access to a Subaru rental vehicle for up to 10 days. This means if you have a long trip, you can leave the EV at home and not have to worry about charging.
