Subaru initially teased the Solterra, its first all-electric SUV, about a year ago. And now that the company has announced the price of the EV, we’re happily taking another step toward finally being able to buy one. The highly anticipated 2023 Solterra starts at $44,995.
The 2023 Solterra is available in three trim levels: Premium, Limited, and Touring, and we can expect it to arrive in Subaru dealerships sometime in the summer of 2022, albeit in limited numbers. The Solterra comes standard with 8.3 inches of ground clearance and an updated Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that channels Subaru’s StarDrive technology.
The EV has a total of 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque from the front and rear electric motors. Each trim level is also equipped with Grip Control, Downhill Assist Control, and Dual-Function X-MODE with Snow, Dirt and Deep Snow, and Mud modes. Solterra’s high-capacity lithium-ion battery can be charged virtually anywhere with its Level 2 AC and DC fast-charging capability, and can rapidly charge your battery up to 80% capacity in less than an hour.
This price of $44,995 is for the base Premium model and is before the $1,225 destination fee and the $7,500 federal tax credit (or any other state incentives). It has features like driver assistance (with rear camera detection), safe exit door alerts, blind spot monitoring, heated front seats and outside mirrors, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and an eight-inch infotainment system. with Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto).
The Limited version starts at $48,495 and includes everything the Premium version does plus a few extras. This trim level has an all-new multimedia system that features a 12.3-inch horizontal touch screen, a 360-degree panoramic view monitor for a superior view of the vehicle (ideal for parking), the parking assist system Advanced Park camera sensor parking, heated rear seats, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, phone-based digital key holder, 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and rear cross-traffic warnings.
Lastly, Touring trim starts at $51,995 and includes all the benefits of the previous two trim levels. It also touts a two-tone exterior paint option, front and rear LED footwell lighting, a digital rearview mirror with head-position adjustment and HomeLink, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof with power sunshade.
Subaru’s Solterra is one of the most exciting electric SUVs on the horizon right now and a great option for anyone looking to make the jump to an EV or a nicer SUV. Sales of the Solterra aren’t quite open yet, but as we mentioned earlier, it’s expected to hit dealers sometime this summer.
