CAMDEN, N.J., Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing on the all-new 2026 Subaru Solterra EV arriving at Subaru retailers this fall. The redesigned Solterra all-electric SUV has been significantly improved with more power, increased driving range, and upgraded interior comforts and technology. It starts at $38,495 MSRP, which is the same entry price as the outgoing model.

Every 2026 Solterra is equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a suite of Subaru EyeSight® driver-assistance technologies, along with an all-new 14-inch Subaru Multimedia System featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.

The 2026 Subaru Solterra EV is available in four trim levels: Premium, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT. New for 2026, Solterra XT trim levels feature uprated electric motors on the front and rear axles, producing a total output of 338 horsepower and propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. The Solterra Premium and Limited trim levels also feature more powerful front and rear motors, compared to last year's model, with a total output of 233 horsepower. Regardless of output, the 2026 Subaru Solterra EV features a new high-capacity 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, larger than the outgoing model, and an estimated all-electric driving range of up to 288 miles with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. What's more, a battery preconditioning system can prepare the battery for optimal charging — especially in cold-weather climates — at speeds up to 150 kW while fast-charging. An uprated 11 kW onboard charger enables quicker charging at home compared to previous model years.

All 2026 Solterra models feature a North American Charging Standard charging port, which unlocks access to more than 15,000 charging stations across the U.S.

Upgraded, All-New Platform

An updated all-wheel-drive system integrates the front and rear electric motors for enhanced on- and off-road performance. The dual-motor system is managed by an improved drive controller that optimizes power distribution in wet and dry conditions. All models feature X-MODE® Dual-Mode System, which includes Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes, along with Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control, providing confidence in low-grip or off-road situations. The 5-seat SUV features 8.3 inches of ground clearance for genuine off-roading, a Subaru hallmark and best-in-class among small electric SUVs.

The all-new 2026 Subaru Solterra EV features an enhanced suspension and electric power steering system, specifically tuned for improved handling and responsiveness. The new all-wheel drive control predicts the load applied to the front and rear tires, optimizing power distribution to reduce roll and sway, which enhances drivability and ride comfort.

The all-new 2026 Solterra features a new platform for the all-electric SUV, which incorporates both enhanced body rigidity and improved sound insulation for a quieter, more confident driving experience. Enhanced all-wheel-drive performance, new front subframe, a retuned suspension, lighter front control arms, expanded usage of ultra-high-tensile-strength steel, and enhanced battery protection areas were added compared to previous model years.

Up front, the all-new 2026 Solterra EV debuts an all-new Subaru EV lighting signature with a six-star illuminated logo, redesigned headlamps, a new front bumper design, and newly designed 18- and 20-inch wheels. At the back, a new rear badge and rear gate garnish add a distinctive updated look to the Solterra EV. A new rear spoiler design improves the aerodynamic efficiency of the all-electric SUV.

The bright cabin inside Solterra is enhanced with an all-new, center 14-inch touchscreen, which is standard on all trim levels. Metallic finishes along the dash emphasize the horizontal themes, and an updated, wide center console creates a centralized hub for devices and personal items, providing for easy storage.

On selected colors, the new 2026 Solterra EV features new body-color fenders for a sleeker look. Available two-tone exterior color configurations on the Subaru Solterra EV Touring XT add a unique look and enhanced curb appeal.

Innovative, Smart Technology

The new 2026 Subaru Solterra features an upgraded 14-inch Subaru Multimedia touchscreen display. In addition to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, all models are equipped with standard SiriusXM All Access radio (4-month free trial included), HD Radio®, Bluetooth® audio streaming and hands-free phone connectivity, available cloud-based navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity (30-day free trial or 3GB), and SubaruConnect vehicle services for safety, remote access, service, digital key access, and more.

For front passengers, dual USB-C ports help to keep devices powered for long journeys, and dual 15-watt wireless smartphone chargers were added this year for even more power possibilities. For rear-seat passengers, dual high-power USB-C charge points offer power on the go. A 120-volt outlet in the cargo area is available to power devices on the go.

All 2026 Solterra models are equipped with a suite of EyeSight® driver-assistance technology that includes Emergency Steering Assist, Collision Avoidance Assist with Automatic Steering, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, Hands-Free Low Speed Driving, DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Alert and Prevention, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitor, Emergency Stop Assist, and more.

Durable, water-resistant gray or black StarTex® interior upholstery is standard on all Solterra EV Premium models. A standard power rear liftgate makes loading or unloading cargo easier, and 60/40-split folding rear seats expand the cargo capacity of Solterra from 23.8 cubic feet with the seats up to 63.5 cubic feet with the seats tumbled forward.

2026 Subaru Solterra EV Limited and Limited XT

The new 2026 Solterra EV Limited builds on the impressive features found in the Solterra EV Premium and adds more conveniences for a starting MSRP of $41,395, which is $600 less than the outgoing model.
