Subaru Solterra EV: What You Need to Know Before You Drive Electric

The all-electric Subaru Solterra is here, and it’s changing how Subaru drivers think about EVs. With rugged capability, smart technology, and zero emissions, the Solterra EV combines Subaru’s legendary engineering with the power of electric mobility.

If you’re searching for “Where can I test drive a Subaru Solterra near me?”, Hello Subaru of Temecula—part of the Hello Auto Group—has you covered. But before you schedule that drive, here’s what you should know.

 

What Are the Main Features of the Subaru Solterra EV?

The 2025 Subaru Solterra EV is powered by a 72.8 kWh lithium-ion battery and dual electric motors, offering 215 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of torque. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers grip and control in all conditions—a key Subaru feature that sets it apart from many EV competitors.

A few standout features include:

 

Whether you’re commuting or road-tripping, the Solterra is built to handle both.

 

How Does the Solterra Compare to Other Electric SUVs?

The Solterra holds its own in a crowded EV market. Where it excels is in standard all-wheel drive, off-road readiness, and driver-assist features.

Here’s how it compares to some competitors:

 

SUV Drive Type Max Range (EPA est.) AWD Standard?
Subaru Solterra AWD 227 miles ✅ Yes
Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD / AWD Up to 303 miles ❌ No (optional)
Ford Mustang Mach-E RWD / AWD Up to 312 miles ❌ No (optional)
Toyota bZ4X FWD / AWD Up to 252 miles ❌ No (optional)

 

While some rivals offer longer range, the Solterra is more capable off-road and comes standard with AWD—ideal for drivers who value safety and control in all conditions.

 

Is the Subaru Solterra All-Wheel Drive?

Yes. Unlike many EVs, the Solterra includes Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard across all trims. That means every Solterra—no upgrades required—comes ready to tackle rain, dirt, snow, or anything in between.

 

What’s the Range of the Subaru Solterra on a Full Charge?

The EPA-estimated range for the 2025 Solterra is 227 miles on a full charge. This is based on the AWD configuration, which all Solterra models feature. Real-world mileage will vary depending on terrain, driving habits, and climate control usage.

While that’s not the highest range on the market, it’s more than enough for most daily drivers, especially with access to fast charging.

 

How Long Does It Take to Charge the Subaru Solterra?

Charging times vary by method:

  • Level 1 (120V home outlet): ~50+ hours (not recommended for daily use)
  • Level 2 (240V home charger): ~9–11 hours for a full charge
  • DC Fast Charging (up to 100 kW): ~35 minutes from 10% to 80%

For daily driving, a Level 2 charger at home is the most convenient option. If you’re traveling or commuting longer distances, DC fast charging can top you up during a lunch break.

What Technology Comes Standard in the Solterra EV?

The Solterra EV comes with smart tech. Even the base trim includes:

  • Wireless smartphone integration
  • 3″ touchscreen infotainment
  • Digital gauge display
  • Cloud-based navigation
  • Over-the-air software updates
  • Keyless access with push-button start
  • Wireless charging pad

 

Higher trims add a Harman Kardon® premium audio system, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic moonroof.

Is the Solterra Eligible for Federal EV Tax Credits?

Yes, the Subaru Solterra qualifies for up to $7,500 in federal EV tax credits—but eligibility depends on your personal tax situation and the dealership’s participation in the point-of-sale program.

Hello Subaru of Temecula can walk you through qualification steps and help maximize your incentives. State and local incentives may also apply.

 

What Safety Features Are Included in the Subaru Solterra?

Subaru built the Solterra with a safety-first mindset. Standard safety features include:

 

Plus, the Solterra is built on the e-Subaru Global Platform, which has been engineered for crash protection and battery safety.

 

How Big Is the Cargo Space in the Solterra EV?

Cargo capacity is solid for a compact SUV. The Solterra offers:

  • 29 cubic feet behind the rear seats
  • Up to 63.5 cubic feet with the seats folded flat

Whether you’re hauling groceries, bikes, or camping gear, the Solterra is up for it.
