The name combines the Latin words "sol," meaning sun, and "terra," meaning earth. Subaru says the name expresses the brand's commitment to deliver traditional SUV capabilities in an environmentally responsible package."

Yes. Since the all-electric Subaru Solterra releases no tailpipe emissions, it doesn't pollute the air.

Yes. The Subaru Solterra doesn't require the same petroleum lubricants for its engine parts, and you don't have to spend time and money on oil changes.

The Subaru Solterra can be charged at your home using a Level 1 120V charger or a Level 2 240V charger. We recommend charging your battery every night, just like your smartphone, so you’re always ready to go anywhere with a full charge. A Level 1 charger is included with your Solterra or you can get a Level 2 240V charger professionally installed in your home for an even faster charge**.

**Time to charge overnight based on Level 2 charging speeds. Charge times can vary depending on many factors, including temperature, type of charging system, and condition of the vehicle and battery.

Your Solterra can go over an estimated 445km of range* and charges from 10–80% in roughly 30 minutes* on a Level 3 DC fast charger. Should you need to charge while on the go, explore charging stations here.

Not at all. With standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE, and best-in-class ground clearance, the 2026 Solterra allows you to do everything a Subaru is built to do. So if you're heading out on an off-road adventure, you can count on all-terrain fun.

With the built-in-fast charge capability on the Solterra, you can get an 80% charge in under an hour (30 min) from a Level 3 DC fast charger. For charging at home, we recommend charging your battery overnight, just like a smartphone, so you're always ready to go anywhere with a full charge in the morning.

The Maintenance schedule is similar to an Internal Combustion engine interval every 5,000 miles, but it consists of a Tire Rotation, Brake Pad and Rotor Inspection, and Chassis Nuts & Bolts Tightening to ensure the safety of your Solterra. The first Major Service takes place at the 120,000-mile mark, with a Coolant Fluid Exchange for the Heater and Traction Battery.

Maintenance costs are less than other Internal Combustion Engine Subaru’s. They are easier on the wallet to maintain since there are fewer moving parts and fluids on board.

Winter range will be reduced due to low temperatures, but the impact on range would be different for each Solterra owner. Temperature, Road Conditions, Internal Climate Controls and Driver Input will all affect range.

You can expect your Factory Trained Technicians to do a Full Safety Check, Tightening Nuts and Bolts on the Chassis, and Tire Rotations.
