Subaru Solterra

Subaru Solterra is an all-electric SUV for drivers who like the upright, practical shape of a crossover but want to leave petrol behind. By our assessment, its strongest point is that it brings Subaru’s familiar all-wheel-drive, outdoorsy image into the EV world, which gives it a clearer identity than many generic electric crossovers. The trade-off is that an EV like this still lives and dies by charging access and range planning, and Subaru has not been the loudest name in the electric market. In everyday use, it should feel like a conventional SUV first and an electric car second, with quiet running, instant torque, and the normal EV routine of plugging in. Against rivals, it sits in the crowded middle of the electric SUV field rather than at the most luxurious or most efficient edge. Subaru Solterra is a sensible pick for someone who wants a recognizably Subaru electric crossover, not for someone chasing the longest range in the segment.
