Subaru Holds Steady on Pricing for Highly Updated 2026 Solterra

Subaru has released pricing for the 2026 Solterra EV, which arrives at dealerships this fall. The updated all-electric SUV starts at $38,495, the same entry price as the outgoing model.

The 2026 Solterra comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assistance features, and a new 14-inch multimedia system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Four trims are available: Premium, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT. The XT versions use more powerful motors at both axles, producing a combined 338 horsepower and allowing the vehicle to reach 60 mph in under five seconds. Premium and Limited trims also receive upgraded motors, with output at 233 horsepower. A larger 74.7-kWh battery increases capacity and supports an estimated range of up to 288 miles. The system also includes battery preconditioning for faster charging in cold weather, DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, and an improved 11-kW onboard charger for quicker home charging. All models use the North American Charging Standard port, giving access to more than 15,000 public stations across the U.S.

The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system is paired with Subaru’s X-MODE drive settings for snow, dirt, and mud, plus features like Grip Control and Downhill Assist. Ground clearance remains at 8.3 inches. Suspension, steering, and chassis updates are aimed at improving handling and comfort, while stronger body construction and added insulation reduce noise inside.

Exterior changes include new lighting with Subaru’s illuminated six-star logo, updated bumpers, and redesigned wheels. The Touring XT trim offers two-tone paint and unique styling details. Inside, every trim gets the new 14-inch touchscreen, a wider center console, and metallic accents. Touring XT models add options like a panoramic roof, ventilated front seats, and available blue leather upholstery.
