2026 Subaru Solterra review

Subaru Solterra: everyday electric done well enough. Illustrative review

7.9/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Subaru Solterra is a strong contender in its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; standard driver-assist suite. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $40,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

★★★☆☆Carlos E. · Corpus Christi, TX · 16 months owned
Second one we've owned

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Monica S. · Nashville, TN · 21 months owned
Better than the test drive suggested

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Camille G. · Portland, OR · 10 months owned
Second one we've owned

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
