Summary
$45,555 Subaru Solterra Touring XT arrives for 2026 with a 278-mile EPA range, 338 horsepower and a native NACS charging port, marking a major upgrade to Subaru’s electric crossover.
A larger 74.7-kWh battery, 150-kW DC fast charging and an 11-kW onboard charger address key weaknesses of the prior model; Subaru says 10% to 80% charging takes about 28 minutes.
The XT keeps standard AWD and adds retuned suspension and revised control software, while cargo space reaches 23.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 63.5 cubic feet with them folded.
A standard 14-inch touchscreen, digital rearview mirror, dual 15-watt wireless chargers and EyeSight safety tech strengthen the value case, though the cabin still has quirks including no glovebox and an unusual steering-wheel layout.
Even after the overhaul, the Solterra trails some rivals on range and charging speed—307 miles for the AWD Chevy Equinox EV and 250-kW charging for the Hyundai Ioniq 5—but is now far more competitive.
