Performance

Subaru is a brand that provides vehicles that offer the essentials for any driver and their lifestyle. Whilesome may need a family vehicle for everyday driving to and from school and work but also for building memories during weekend day trips and vacation getaways, others may need a rugged any-weather, all-terrain vehicle that can be pushed to the limits on weekly adventures into the mountains. We can only expect that even the all-electric 2023 Subaru Solterra will follow the brand's reputation of versatile performances fit for anyone and any road life takes them on.

Electrifying Performance

Electric vehicles are primarily known and bought for their fuel efficiency. The 2023 Subaru Solterra is going to change the EV market for the better. Running on a 71.4 kWh battery pack, the Solterra is expected to get an impressive range estimated at 220 miles. However, its unique aerodynamic design of twin liftgate spoilers to help with airflow, ensuring a peaceful, safe, and efficient drive, alongside the Subaru StarDrive with Sport and One-Pedal Driving for convenient on-demand torque and enhanced responsiveness, you can expect an electrifying performance worthy of its own class, producing 215 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque no matter how far into the wilderness you want to travel.

Sustainability of a Model Worthy of the Sun and Earth

Suitably, the Solterra was named by combining the Latin words for Sun and Earth. With the power and versatility you can expect, contrary to its name, it is hard to believe that the 2023 Subaru Solterra's performance is built on the premise of economic sustainability. This zero-emissions all-electric model requires no need for gasoline, oil, or other fluids harmful to the environment, allowing you to take your Subaru farther than before, guilt-free. When your Solterra is running low on battery life, the ability to charge at home while you rest or at work while on a break with a standard 120V or 240V outlet means you can be ready for any adventure without the need for a special trip to the gas station. For the charges needed on the go, with the DC Fast Charge options, you can get up to 80% battery life back in less than an hour at one of over 38,000 public charging stations, enabling you to get back on the road or in the woods for at least another 176 miles in the time it takes for a lunch break.

Adaptable Power Built for You

With the energy of the Sun and the Earth's colorful composition, the 2023 Subaru Solterra is a prime example of versatility in its true form. From the continuous all-wheel drive to the Solterra's 8.3 inches of ground clearance for ease of maneuverability through the roughest of terrains and X-MODE with Hill Ascent and Descent Assist for selectable traction for enhanced stability to help you travel any road in any condition. You'll be able to take your electric vehicle beyond the limits of the average EV and still be able to benefit from its fuel efficiency and spacious interior for your daily driving needs, ready to conquer any task with you.
