Subaru's all-electric compact crossover, the Solterra, is returning stronger than ever—combining the brand's trademark all-weather confidence with an even sharper electric powertrain. A refresh for the 2026 model year gives the Solterra a sleeker exterior design, upgraded performance, improved range, and faster charging capability. It also brings an updated cabin with larger displays and more device charging opportunities.
2026 Solterra Powertrain Updates
The 2026 Solterra features an updated version of Subaru's dual-motor StarDrive® system, plus EV-tuned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for enhanced traction in various conditions. Power output climbs to 233 horsepower in standard form, while a new XT trim pushes performance further with an impressive 338 horsepower for confident highway passing and trailhead climbs alike. The refined chassis tuning and low center of gravity help the Solterra stay planted through corners, giving it the poised feel Subaru drivers expect—even without a drop of gasoline.
A redesigned battery pack boosts range up to an estimated 285 miles per charge, giving Stow shoppers the flexibility to roam farther between stops. When you do need to plug in, the Solterra's 150 kW DC fast-charging capability can bring the battery from 10% to 80% in under 30 minutes. Subaru also equips the 2026 model with NACS connectivity, opening access to the expansive Tesla Supercharger network for even more charging options.
