Subaru has just released prices for their first electric vehicle, the Solterra. This type of electric SUV shares the same platform as the Toyota bZ4X.
But despite using the same platform, Solterra is more expensive than its brother Toyota bZ4X. The Solterra will start at $44,995 in Premium trim before a $7,500 federal tax credit and a $1,225 destination fee.
This base model has an eight-inch infotainment system (with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto) as well as driver assistance such as a rear camera, blind spot monitoring and exit warning.

For the Limited tier version the price starts at $48,495. This model features a 12.3-inch infotainment system, 360-degree camera view, wireless smartphone charging dock, parking assist, rear traffic alert and smartphone-based digital lock. You can also expect more conventional upgrades like the Harman Kardon audio system, LED fog lamps and power rear doors.
The Touring variant starts at $51,995 with features such as digital rearview mirrors with HomeLink support, panoramic moonroof, footwell lighting, and ventilated front seats.
Unlike the Toyota bZ4X, the Solterra comes only with all-wheel drive. So that it has better off-road capabilities, of course, affects the price.

The Solterra comes with dual motors with 215HP, 249lb/ft of torque and a range of up to 228 miles. Solterra has an “X-Mode” feature to adjust the vehicle’s speed on dirt and snow roads. While the grip and downhill control features help you maintain a stable track. Solterra also offers charging EVgo credits or cash for Level 2 home chargers.
The prices are quite high not what some would expect. That’s not far off the VW all-wheel ID.4 Pro ($44,440) or the Ford Mustang Mach-E Select ($43,895).
