Subaru is keeping the 2027 Solterra at $38,495 to start, the same figure it charged for the 2026 model after last year’s comprehensive overhaul. For a compact electric SUV that now offers 288 miles of range and up to 338 horsepower in XT trim, price stability is not a small thing. The segment has a habit of creeping upward.
The Solterra moved 10,715 units in 2026, down from a peak of 12,447 the year before. Holding the line on pricing while adding capability is Subaru’s clearest argument for reversing that trajectory. Four trim levels carry over from 2026: Premium, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT. All four share the same 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery and 288-mile range estimate.
The split in the lineup comes down to motors. Premium and Limited models run dual electric motors producing 233 hp, while Limited XT and Touring XT step up to the higher-output dual-motor configuration at 338 hp combined, with a 0-60 mph time of under 5 seconds. All four trims come standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and X-MODE with Grip Control and Downhill Assist.
Charging specs are consistent across the lineup. The Solterra supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, covering 10 to 80 percent in about 28 minutes. Battery preconditioning helps maintain that speed in both warm and cold weather, a notable addition given how aggressively cold temperatures can throttle charging rates on unprepared battery packs. The 11 kW onboard AC charger, introduced on the 2026 model, carries over for home charging. All 2027 Solterras use a NACS charging port, opening access to more than 25,000 stations in North America.
The base Premium at $38,495 gets 18-inch alloy wheels with aerodynamic covers, LED headlights, heated front seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Black StarTex water-resistant upholstery is now standard on Premium models. Cargo space reaches 63.5 cubic feet with the 60/40 rear seat folded.
The Limited at $41,395 adds 20-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, a heated steering wheel, heated rear outboard seats, a power-adjustable passenger seat, automatic parking assist, Harman Kardon audio, Multi-Terrain Monitor, and a 120-volt cargo outlet. The Limited XT at $42,895 brings all of that plus the 338 hp powertrain. Color-upholstery pairings are locked for 2027: Elemental Red Pearl models get Gray StarTex exclusively, and Midnight Tide Mica comes only in Black StarTex.
The Touring XT tops the lineup at $45,855. It adds a panoramic glass roof with motorized sunshades, ventilated front seats, radiant leg heaters for both front occupants, a digital rearview mirror with camera washer, and new-for-2027 black and blue leather-trimmed upholstery. Two-tone paint is available on Touring XT, with color combinations built around Midnight Tide Mica, Cosmic White Pearl, Harbor Mist Gray Pearl, and Smoked Carbon. Six total exterior colors are offered across the lineup.
Subaru EyeSight driver-assist technology is standard on all trims, covering pre-collision braking, emergency steering assist, collision avoidance with automatic steering, lane departure prevention, dynamic radar cruise control, front cross-traffic alert, and the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system, which monitors driver attention.
Destination and delivery is $1,475 in most states, rising to $1,625 for Alaska retailers and varying for Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The Solterra is assembled in Gunma, Japan, and arrives at retailers nationwide this fall.
The Kia EV6 starts at $39,445 and the Toyota C-HR at $38,595, which puts the Solterra’s entry price in a genuinely contested window. Subaru’s answers are standard AWD, best-in-class ground clearance, and a nameplate that has spent two years getting its fundamentals right. Standard AWD, 288 miles of range, and a price that hasn’t moved. If that combination doesn’t win Outback loyalists back this year, no spec update will.
