Subaru Solterra Premium, Limited & Touring Trims

Last updated August 4, 2026

Subaru Solterra

Premium is the well-equipped entry Solterra, centered on electric range, standard all-wheel drive, useful ground clearance, and everyday comfort. Limited is the mainstream comfort-and-technology step-up, while Limited XT adds stronger acceleration without changing that basic cabin focus. Touring sits at the top with an airier, more comfort-focused interior; Touring Onyx Edition adds a distinct appearance theme, and Touring XT combines the top equipment with the 338-hp powertrain.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Solterra Premium a stripped-down trim?

No. In the redesigned lineup, Premium has 233 horsepower, an EPA-estimated 288-mile range, a 14-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, and a broad safety suite.

What does the Solterra Limited add over the Premium?

On newer models, Limited adds premium audio, power adjustment for both front seats, driver-seat memory, a heated steering wheel, heated outer rear seats, hands-free cargo access, a 360-degree camera, and automatic parking assistance.

What is the difference between the Solterra Limited XT and Limited?

In the redesigned lineup, power is the main difference. Limited XT raises output from the Limited’s 233 horsepower to 338 horsepower while keeping essentially the same comfort, audio, camera, and parking equipment.

What does the Solterra Touring XT add over the Limited XT?

On newer models, Touring XT adds the top comfort features: a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, radiant leg heat for both front occupants, and a camera-based digital rearview mirror. Both use the 338-horsepower system.

What does XT mean on a Subaru Solterra?

On newer Solterras, XT identifies the higher-output 338-horsepower versions. Limited XT emphasizes stronger acceleration with Limited equipment, while Touring XT adds the top comfort features. All Solterra trims still have all-wheel drive.

Which Solterra trim has the longest driving range?

In the redesigned lineup, Premium has the longest stated range at an EPA-estimated 288 miles. Limited is rated at 278 miles. Earlier used examples have different batteries and lower range estimates, so model year matters.

Which Solterra trim should I pick for more comfort without extra power?

On newer models, Limited is the logical fit. It keeps the Premium’s 233-horsepower system but adds upgraded audio, seat memory, more heated surfaces, better parking views, automatic parking help, and hands-free cargo access.

Which Solterra trim is aimed at drivers who want stronger acceleration?

In the redesigned lineup, Limited XT is the focused choice for stronger acceleration without the top trim’s added cabin features. Touring XT uses the same 338-horsepower system and adds the panoramic roof, ventilated seats, and other comfort upgrades.

Which Solterra trims have a panoramic glass roof?

The top comfort trim has the panoramic roof, but its name depends on the era. Touring and Touring Onyx Edition fill that role in the earlier lineup, while Touring XT carries it in the redesigned lineup.

What is the Solterra Touring Onyx Edition?

The Touring Onyx Edition is an appearance-focused version of Touring found in the pre-redesign lineup. It keeps Touring features such as the panoramic roof, ventilated front seats, premium audio, and digital rearview mirror while adding distinct styling details.

Which Solterra trims have premium audio and advanced parking help?

In the redesigned lineup, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT have an 11-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a 360-degree camera, and automatic parking assistance. Equipment differs on earlier used models, so check the specific trim and model year.

How do the Solterra trims differ for heated and cooled seats?

On newer models, Premium has heated front seats. Limited and Limited XT add heated outer rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Touring XT adds ventilated front seats and radiant leg heat for both front occupants.

Do all Solterra trims have the same touchscreen?

Not across every used model year. Since the major redesign, every trim has a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Earlier trims used a different screen setup, including a 12.3-inch unit on Touring models.

Which Solterra trim makes loading the cargo area easier?

On newer models, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT have a foot-activated hands-free power liftgate. Premium still has a power liftgate, but not the foot-activated hands-free function.
