We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Solterra, so we've included reviews for other years of the Solterra since its last redesign.
Really good EV, just limit long trips.

We leased a Premium (base) and got an exceptional deal. Wish it had power seats (even in the base trim because of the high price on these), but they're comfortable and supportive. Don't be discouraged on other reviews saying it doesn't have enough power, because it does! Can get to 0-60mph in 6.6 secs which is plenty fast enough for most people. It's also got Subaru's symmetrical AWD system which is great and gets instant traction on all weather conditions. It rides so smooth and is quiet despite its 8.3 inches of ground clearance. On a full charge we get around 250mi of range on a average day. Might differ in colder climates just like any other EV. It's roomy enough for our family, it's got tons of safety features standard and is quiet. The LED lighting in the front and rear are exceptional and really bright at night. The one thing I don't like is the shiny black plastic in the interior. While it looks nice and makes it look 'fancier', it gets dusty quickly and gets scratches quite easily. There's also no glove box which is a strange ommission so everything has to go in the center console. We just put the manuals in the small storage compartment in the trunk. As far as range, this is where you really have to consider if this vehicle is right for you. For us, range isn't an issue because we most drive locally. Occasionally we'll take a trip to visit family once or twice a year which is about 280mi away from us, so charging on the way isn't too big of an issue but we'll have to plan along the way. Going to work, running errands, groceries, it's great. We mostly use the included level 1 charger at home and when needed charge overnight. If we still need to charge it more we use a public charger which doesn't cost much. Never really thought about getting an EV but we might get one from now on even when our lease is up. No more going to the gas station, no more oil changes, and no more smog checks. That in itself will save you tons of money yearly. As a Solterra owner, I'd recommend this car if you mostly drive it locally and occasionally do trips.

I ❤️ my car. I can get it to be 290 instead of 228. The wheel is great to handle and it is a smooth ride.

Test drove the Soltera Limited. No experience with electric vehicles. Seemed very quick at the start. Drove well for such a heavy car, you could really feel the weight. The steering wheel was pretty small dia wise. Roof felt low. Side window was short. Rear hatch seemed real long/deep, not sure how I feel about that. Rear seat floor didn't have the well you expect in floors, feels like you're stepping up into the cabin. Not at all impressed with the interior. I should state that I have a 2020 Forester touring with the brown leather trim. I would like something like that in an EV. Very cool self-park, aerial view, wireless phone charge. Think I'll wait for the next iteration. There may be some bugs to work out, the dealer had to postpone my test drive for some obscure reason. I went online to "Build my own" Soltera. To build your own, you pick Premium, Limited, or Touring. unless you want an ashtray or weather tek floor mats you can't build your own.
Almost a good Car

The Solterra would be a great car if the range was anywhere close to what is advertised and or promised by Subaru... in reality the range is only averaging about 60 to 70 percent of the 220 miles for a full charge... the range estimates are pure fabrications and Subaru knows it... have been a Subaru owner for well over 40 years and will never buy another due to the deceptions and dealer lies and excuses... !!!

This is my 4th Subaru and I had a Legacy, Forster and Outback before and I was very impressed by all of them. This car drives nice and solid but I found couple of issues with it which is not nice: - Range is on the short side for a car of this class and this price - interior design is sloppy and cheap, location of steering wheel is very annoying, many options I had on my formers Subarus are missing here, upholstery is low quality, inter cabin nose of blinds are irritating, I think most of the designs are done with Toyota (for example cup holder) - The software and panel are poorly designed, they have to hire a UX UV designer to rebuild the interfaces, many issues are hard to find or mysterious. Also the cpu and or memory is weak and it crashes time to time (this is my main comment)
