About the 2025 Subaru Solterra
1st generation (2023-2025), final year before the all-new 2026 redesign.
Subaru positions the Solterra as an everyday electric SUV with real bad-weather and light-trail ability, not just a city commuter. Its main draw is standard AWD, more ground clearance than many EV rivals, useful cargo room, and a strong safety story. Compared with many electric crossovers, Subaru leans less on outright speed and more on traction, confidence, practicality, and an outdoors-friendly SUV character that feels familiar to Subaru shoppers.
The 2025 Solterra remains an electric SUV with a 215-hp dual-motor AWD system, and the Premium trim emphasizes straightforward daily use with up to 227 miles of range. Limited adds conveniences such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 360-degree camera system, and heated rear seats, while Touring and Touring Onyx Edition bring a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, and premium audio.
