Subaru’s only EV adds 25 percent more range, faster charging, and improved AWD

Subaru’s first and only EV, the Solterra, is getting a facelift for 2026 with many upgrades that include a better AWD system, longer range, and improved performance.

Subaru gave the new model a standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system that allows front and rear motors to work independently and offer better control in various weather conditions. The motors are also more powerful, with up to 233 horsepower combined, while a higher-end XT model bumps the power to 338 horsepower with 0-60 mph acceleration in under five seconds.
