The high-end Subaru model’s first effort at a completely electric SUV is the 2023 Solterra. If you want an EV for off-roading, this is a good option. The 2023 Subaru Solterra is an SUV with a powertrain that will both impress and perform. It offers a respectable driving range of somewhat more than 220 miles. Similarly, the inside is lovely and unique. If you want to get off the main route with your car, the Solterra is one of the better options in the electric SUV class. It has 8.3 inches of ground clearance, numerous drive modes, grip control, hill climb and downhill aid, and standard all-wheel drive. Read on to find out more about its characteristics.
Electric Vehicle Motor, Power & Performance
In addition to being powered entirely by electricity, the Solterra includes an all-wheel-drive system with two electric motors producing a combined 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. That power may be distributed differently based on the driving mode, which has four options: Eco, Normal, Power, and X-mode, which is designed to aid in slippery weather or on uneven terrain by adjusting power to each wheel separately. The Solterra boasts 8.3 inches of ground clearance and a “Grip Control” function, which is effectively a low-speed cruise control for people who want to take it off-road.
Battery Life, Charging & Range
According to Subaru, the battery pack in the Solterra has a gross capacity of 72.8 kWh. Ones with 18-inch wheels are said to have a 228-mile range, while models with 20-inch wheels are estimated at 222 miles. The Solterra’s integrated 6.6-kWh charger, according to Subaru, can recharge the battery in nine hours when plugged into a Level 2 charging station. It is said to take roughly 56 minutes to charge it to 80% when connected to a 100 kW DC fast charger.
Fuel efficiency & Actual MPGe
According to its rating, the 2023 Solterra is predicted to get up to 104 MPGe in total.
Cargo, Comfort & The Interior
The inside of the Solterra has a large infotainment touchscreen, a high-mounted digital gauge cluster, and an elevated center console with what seems to be a rotary shift gear. The Solterra is a practical travel companion thanks to its several storage spaces and up to 30 cubic feet of load capacity with the rear seats folded flat.
Connectivity & Information
The 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system for the Solterra is available, and it sits in the dash’s middle. Every model comes included with wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Users may remotely operate the HVAC system to pre-condition the cabin or to lock and unlock the doors thanks to the presence of a smartphone app.
Driver Assistance & Safety
Every Solterra comes loaded with a ton of standard driver-assistance technology, including 360-degree video systems and automatic high-beam headlamps, which are firsts for a Subaru.
