Subaru Solterra Limited in more detail
More detailed contextHow it stacks up
An AWD electric crossover geared to road trips and growing families, the Solterra Limited leans on safety and space rather than outright speed. Priced at $44,995, it comes across as good value in its segment.
On-road character
Acceleration to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and a 160 km/h top speed prioritize composure over thrills, while AWD supports confidence in mixed weather. The 218 hp and 339 Nm output suits everyday passing and merging without fuss.
Space and family use
A 604 L trunk helps with strollers, sports gear, and luggage, and five seats cover most family needs, though there’s no third row. A 5-star safety rating adds reassurance for longer journeys.
