An all-electric crossover sporting AWD & 228 miles of range, here's how much Subie's first EV will cost.
Subaru’s first all-electric crossover SUV debuted last year at the LA Auto Show. Now, the Japanese automaker has released official 2023 Solterra pricing for the US. With industry-leading safety and go-anywhere capability, the Subaru Solterra price starts at $46,220 (all prices include the $1,225 delivery and destination fees).
Subaru offers the 2023 Solterra in three trim levels – entry-level Premium, mid-level Limited, and range-topping Touring. The zero-emission Subie is eligible for up to $7,500 in federal tax credit as well as other state enticements such as the single rider Carpool Lane access in California.
In Canada, the grades are a little different. The 2023 Solterra will be available in three configurations: Solterra AWD, Solterra AWD Luxury Package, and Solterra AWD Technology Package. Pricing not yet announced.
All the models in the lineup come equipped with two electric motors creating 215 horsepower (160 kilowatts) and 248 pound-feet (336 Newton-meters) of torque. Unlike its Toyota counterpart, the bZ4X, it is available only in an all-wheel-drive layout, offering Dual-Function X-MODE with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes for enhanced grip on low-friction and muddy roads.
The motors get power from a 72.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, delivering up to 228 miles (367 kilometers) range. The owners can charge the battery on a Level 2 AC and DC fast chargers, with the latter taking just under an hour to recoup 80 percent of the battery. Here’s our article on the Solterra range and charging specs. Below, the key specs summarized:
Making it one of the safest electric SUVs on the road is the Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist suite. The safety bundle encompasses the emergency steering assist, intersection collision avoidance system, pre-collision brake assist, lane departure alert, and dynamic radar cruise control with the lane-tracing assist.
