Subaru recently revealed the pricing for its first-ever completely electric SUV, the 2023 Subaru Solterra. The innovative and widely anticipated Solterra arrived stocked with new in-vehicle technology while falling in line with Subaru tradition via industry-leading safety and go-anywhere capability. The 2023 Solterra comes in three trim levels: Premium, Limited, and Touring, and will start showing up in limited numbers at Subaru retailers in the summer.
At $46,220, the Solterra stands out among the competition with a lower price and arguably better features. Taking into account the vehicle’s all-wheel-drive competitors, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 costs $48,745, the Kia EV6 manages $52,155, and the Volkswagen ID 4 starts at $46,105. With a lower price tag, the 2023 Solterra arrives with a standard new Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that delivers smooth rides with Subaru StarDrive® Technology, supporting you with outstanding traction and capability regardless of weather and terrain.
The 2023 Solterra runs on an innovative 72.8-kilowatt-hour battery and pair of electric motors that give you a combined 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. Subaru officially estimates the Solterra’s driving range to be 228 miles for the standard edition, and 222 miles for the Limited and Touring models. The Solterra only takes about an hour to reach an 80% state of charge, and this all-electric SUV offers a suite of standard EyeSight® driver assist technologies. These include features like emergency Steering Assist, Intersection Collision Avoidance Support, Pre-Collision Brake Assist, Lane Departure Prevention, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing Assist.
To make charging the vehicle more efficient and accessible while traveling, apps from your mobile devices will work with Solterra's multimedia system to help locate thousands of charging options across the country, including thousands of DC fast-charging stations and Level 2 charging stations. Charging at home is also made easy and affordable with Level 1 or Level 2 compatibilities. 4 With up to a 228-mile range for the AWD SUV, owners can explore the city streets and the open road with confidence.
A deluxe multimedia system is also introduced with the new Solterra, featuring an available 12.3-inch high-resolution horizontal touchscreen. The new multimedia setup comes with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Additionally, a wireless charging phone dock conveniently comes standard on Limited and Touring trim levels.
