Performance
The Solterra is capable of up to 215 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of torque, making it perfect for both off-road and city driving. The impressive ground clearance allows for safer passage through those rocky trails, which is helped further by the standard Subaru X Mode system. Supplying up to a 227-mile range of drive time before recharging keeps you on the road longer on a full charge.
Charging the 72.8 kWh battery pack is convenient and affordable. You can charge your vehicle at home with either Level 1 or Level 2 capability. For longer trips, DC-fast charging enables you to rise from a 10% to 80% state of charge in approximately 35 minutes. The model is rated at 102 – 104 MPGe, depending on trim.
Select the best power mode for your adventure with Subaru StarDrive and Driving Mode Select. Choose between Normal Driving, Eco for battery conservation, and Power mode for that extra boost in responsiveness. Battery regenerative technology in the EV-specific S-Brake allows one-pedal driving. When you’re ready to stop, you can adjust regenerative braking responsiveness with the convenient paddles located on your steering wheel. Then, simply lift your foot off the pedal. You will slow immediately and come to a complete stop without even using your brake pedal. Don’t worry; you still have that all-important brake pedal and conventional disc brakes for braking emergencies!
Exterior
Polished and refined is the ideal description of the exterior build of the Solterra. It has a unique hexagonal grille with integrated front fascia, giving it a smooth and chic look. The low hood line provides the driver with maximum visibility for a more spacious, open road feel. This EV has very distinctive features that are striking to the eye, like its slender and wide LED premium headlights, which complement its design. The rear lamps are also positioned high and have a trapezoid shape for a modern vibe and cutting-edge style. Not to be overlooked is the panoramic glass roof on the Touring models, giving an amazing view of the sky and an open concept inside the vehicle.
Interior
The small size of the motors and lack of transmission enables the Solterra to devote the saved space to the interior, with up to 125 cubic feet for both passengers and gear. The low load height and the wide opening rear gate make loading convenient and easy for the driver. The Startex® upholstery is made of high-quality and soft-touch materials, which gives it a very sleek appearance. You and your passengers will experience comfort with the generous amount of legroom and spacious feel of the Solterra to accompany its silent operation. Bringing elegance and class to the Solterra is the panoramic glass roof of the Touring model and above that extends front and rear rows of seats to open up the view to all passengers.
Technology
The base Solterra has an 8.0-inch center touchscreen, while the Limited and Touring get a larger, 12.3-inch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration is standard across the model line, and wireless charging begins with the Limited trim. With the 12.3 touchscreen, you can easily get to any feature you need with the touch of a button. While you are driving, enjoy the voice-activated technology that gives you access to all your favorite apps. Listen to podcasts, music, news, or ask for navigation to your destination, so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
Solterra Connect is a feature that gives you an immense sense of connection and security with your vehicle. Utilizing an app on your phone, you can unlock the car or start your engine. You can even adjust the internal temperature of your vehicle automatically from your phone. Parking is no problem when you are driving this vehicle. The sophisticated technology of Park Assist, with a self-parking system, makes parking simpler than ever before.

The automatic high beams optimize the use of your headlights while driving in harsher or darker conditions. The Solterra comes standard with driver and front passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, side pelvis/torso airbags, and driver and front passenger knee airbags, which gives you significant protection on all sides in the face of a collision.
