The Subaru Solterra enters its second year with a few welcome improvements, and without a price hike. Co-developed with Toyota, the Solterra’s all-wheel drive system and road manners are all Subaru, giving the compact five-seat SUV impressive capabilities on moderate off-road trails, as well as outstanding handling in rain and snow.

There are a number of competitors in the segment, including the Solterra’s Toyota bZ4X twin, the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Volkswagen ID.4, Audi Q4 e-tron, and lower trims of the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Some are bigger or more powerful, most have more driving range, but none have more off-road capability.

The Solterra offers a roomy cabin for four, but adding another passenger in the bench-style back seat makes things very tight. The quiet EV has a slew of standard features, including Subaru's low-speed hands-free driving system, and provides more cargo space than most of its rivals. However, it is not rated for towing, while most competitors can pull a small trailer.

Rated at 228 miles of driving range, the Solterra isn’t the electric SUV for everyone. But for those wanting an EV that can handle weekend adventure, it is certainly worth a look.

What's New for 2024: Introduced last year, the Subaru Solterra gets a short list of improvements for 2024. The biggest change is to battery management that cuts DC fast-charging time in half under normal conditions. All trims debut an updated version of Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist system with hands-free driving at low speeds, automated lane-changing assist, and front cross-traffic alert. Additional updates include roof rails on all trims, a driver distraction mitigation system, and a redesigned steering wheel with paddles that control one-pedal regenerative braking and can launch the X-Mode system for off-road driving.
