More Powerful, Longer-Range 2026 Subaru Solterra Priced From $39,945
Key Points:
- The 2026 Subaru Solterra is more powerful than the 2025 model, with range improving by more than 25%.
- Pricing hardly changes for the new model year, with the 2026 Solterra starting at $39,945 (all prices include $1,450 destination charge).
Just three model years after its debut, the Subaru Solterra is getting a major overhaul. The electric SUV’s basic structure is mostly unchanged, but the styling is improved, the battery provides significantly improved range, and a new powertrain for the XT trims generates nearly 60% more horsepower than the 2025 model’s. We have already driven the refreshed 2026 Solterra (you can read all about our first drive here), and now we know what it will cost: The substantially improved 2026 Solterra’s base price is just $30 more than the 2025 model’s at $39,945.

Trim Levels
The Solterra’s entry-level Premium trim rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and features keyless entry and starting, LED front lighting, heated side mirrors, roof rails and a power liftgate. It earns its Premium designation inside, where you’ll find synthetic leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, two wireless phone chargers, and a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Subaru’s EyeSight safety suite is standard on every 2026 Solterra and includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, emergency steering assist, front cross-traffic alert, traffic-jam assist, front parking sensors and road-sign recognition. Blind spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert are also standard.
To that, the Limited adds 20-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel and a Harman Kardon audio system. The only difference between the Limited and the Limited XT is the latter’s higher-output electric motors.
At the top of the Solterra lineup, the Touring XT includes a panoramic moonroof, radiant lower-body heating for front-seat occupants, ventilated front seats and a rearview mirror camera that provides a clear view aft even if the driver’s line of sight is obscured by passengers or cargo. The Limited trims and Touring XT also include a 360-degree camera.
Powertrain Specs and Range
Unlike its Toyota bZ twin, the 2026 Solterra comes with standard all-wheel drive. Dual motors, one driving each axle, produce a combined 233 hp in the Premium and Limited trim levels. The more powerful motors in the XT trims generate a total of 338 hp; they cost an extra $1,500 on the Limited XT and are standard on the Touring XT.
With a 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery pack, the Solterra Premium can travel up to 288 miles on a charge, according to Subaru, while the Limited and the XT trims are good for 278 miles (official EPA estimates for 2026 are not yet available). For comparison, the 2025 model topped out at an EPA-rated 227 miles of range. Now capable of charging at up to 150 kilowatts, the 2026 Solterra can replenish its battery from 10% to 80% charge in about 30 minutes.
