Why this car stands out
This vehicle is ideal for eco-conscious adventurers and families who prioritize standard all-wheel-drive capability, robust safety features, and a practical, comfortable electric SUV for daily driving and light off-road excursions.
Strengths
Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and generous 8.3 inches of ground clearance provide confident capability for various terrains and weather conditions.
Equipped with a comprehensive suite of standard safety features, including Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technologies, contributing to its 5-star NHTSA safety rating and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award.
Offers a spacious and practical interior with ample cargo room (63.5 cubic feet with rear seats folded) and user-friendly technology like standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The dual-motor electric powertrain delivers smooth, responsive acceleration with instant torque, enhancing the driving experience.
Tradeoffs
The EPA-estimated driving range of 227 miles for the Premium trim is less competitive compared to many rivals in the rapidly evolving EV SUV segment.
Insurance costs for the Solterra tend to be higher than the average for comparable SUVs.
While improved for the 2025 model year, DC fast charging speeds may still trail some competitors, potentially leading to longer charging stops.
Some reviewers note that the interior design, while functional and comfortable, may lack the premium feel or innovative flair found in certain competing electric vehicles.
What you might regret
Those seeking the longest possible EV range, the absolute lowest insurance premiums, or a more luxurious/futuristic interior design might find the Solterra less appealing.
