Holding a price steady after a big upgrade is rare in the EV world, yet that’s exactly what Subaru is doing with the 2027 Solterra. The electric SUV got a top-to-bottom rework for 2026, and the 2027 model carries those gains forward while still starting below $40,000.
- The 2027 Solterra starts at $38,495, matching the 2025 model’s sticker.
- A 74.7 kWh battery now delivers up to 288 miles of range, up from 227.
- Every trim adds a built-in NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access.
Same Price, Plenty of New Hardware
Subaru reworked almost every part of its electric SUV for the 2026 model year. Longer range, more power, a cleaner look, and a native NACS charge port all came along for the ride. The 2027 version is mostly a carryover, and that’s good news for buyers. You get last year’s upgrades without paying more for them.
The four-trim lineup stays familiar: Premium, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT. The Premium opens the range at $38,495. From there, the Limited lands at $41,395, the Limited XT at $42,895, and the loaded Touring XT at $45,855. Destination and delivery runs $1,475 for most states, with a few exceptions on the coasts and a higher figure in Alaska.
Range and Charging That Actually Travel
All trims share a 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery good for an estimated 288 miles. That’s a real jump over the 2025 Solterra’s 227-mile rating, and it pushes the SUV into territory where road trips stop feeling like a gamble. A new battery preconditioning system helps charging speeds hold up in both hot and cold weather, which is one of the quieter wins here.
Plug into a fast charger and the Solterra moves from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes, with charging rates reaching an estimated 150 kW. The headline change for many shoppers is the NACS port. It comes standard on every model and opens the door to more than 25,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America. That alone removes one of the biggest reasons people hesitated on the old Solterra.
Power, Trims, and the Stuff Inside
Step up to an XT model and you get an upgraded version of Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, tuned for a combined 338 hp and 323 lb-ft of torque. Subaru pegs the 0 to 60 mph run at about 5 seconds, which is brisk for a family hauler. Ground clearance sits at 8.3 inches, a figure Subaru calls best-in-class. The standard Premium and Limited trims still run dual motors, just with a softer 233 hp.
Inside, all four trims center on a 14-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist suite handles the safety side, bundling features like Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Alert and Prevention, Emergency Steering Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
Climb the ladder and the extras pile up. Limited and Limited XT trims add 20-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, a Harman Kardon audio system, automatic parking assist, a Multi-Terrain Monitor, and a 120V outlet. The Touring XT at the top throws in a panoramic glass roof with motorized sunshades, ventilated front seats, radiant leg heaters up front, and a digital rearview mirror with its own camera washer.
Color choices run six deep: Harbor Mist Gray Pearl, Elemental Red Pearl, Cosmic White Pearl, Astro Black Mica, Smoked Carbon, and Midnight Tide Mica. The 2027 Solterra shares its platform with the updated Toyota bZ, and it joins a growing Subaru EV family that now includes the Uncharted and Trailseeker.
Why This One Is Worth a Look This Fall
When a refreshed EV keeps its price flat while adding range, power, and Supercharger access, the math gets easy to like. Shoppers who passed on the earlier Solterra over its modest range or charging network now have fewer reasons to walk away. The 2027 Subaru Solterra reaches dealerships this fall, so anyone weighing an electric SUV has a clear reason to put it on the test-drive list. Steady pricing on better hardware is a combination that doesn’t come around often, especially as shoppers compare electric SUV range across more everyday and luxury options.
