2023 Subaru Solterra

The 2023 Subaru Solterra has three different trim levels to choose from, and they each have their own exterior features to consider when finding the best option for your needs. The Premium is the base-level version, and it comes standard with features like heated exterior mirrors and stylish 18-inch steel wheels with covers.

If you're looking for an upgrade, the Limited trim may be more to your liking. It's equipped with 20-inch alloy wheels and heated exterior mirrors that come complete with power-folding capabilities. You even get LED fog lights and roof rails. The ultimate trim is the Touring, which boasts an incredible array of features including a two-tone paint option, LED footwell lighting, and a dual-pane panoramic glass roof with a power sunshade.

Only a single powertrain option is available for the 2023 Subaru Solterra, but it's more than enough to provide reliable power and range. It uses dual AC permanent magnet synchronous electric motors that generate 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. Just keep in mind that the estimated range will vary depending on which trim level you opt for, despite them all using the same setup.

The Solterra's unique all-wheel-drive design is quite impressive. Each of the dual motors powers a single axle, so both axles are always powered at the same time. It takes about nine hours to fully charge the battery with a home charging setup, but a fast charger can get it up to 80% in less than an hour. Note that the Premium trim tends to offer a slightly better range than the Limited and Touring trims, with an EPA-estimated 228 miles compared to 222 miles.

Inside the 2023 Subaru Solterra, you'll find a welcoming interior and advanced technology to enjoy. It offers 42.1 inches of legroom in the front and 35.3 inches of legroom in the back, and you can make use of the 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space without having to put the rear seats down. In terms of technology, it comes standard with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, though that can be upgraded to 12.3 inches if you like.

Quite a few safety features have been integrated into the Solterra that let you drive with confidence even if you opt for the base-level trim. No matter which version of the Solterra you get, you'll have peace of mind knowing that the lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert are looking out for you. The Solterra even has forward collision warning with automated emergency braking standard on all trims.
