Used Subaru Solterra for sale

The Subaru Solterra doesn't hold back on safety. The standard features include automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance and blind-spot monitoring. It shares most of its safety gear with the Toyota bZ4X and has the same Euro NCAP five star rating.

The Subaru Solterra has only one option, so performance is the same across all trims. Instead of a petrol or diesel engine you get a pair of electric motors – one at each axle for all-wheel drive – with a 71.4kWh battery pack, delivering 215 bhp.

The Subaru Solterra comes with a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a six-speaker sound system as standard, even in the basic trim. Top-spec Touring versions add wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof and an upgraded audio system.

As an electric SUV, the Solterra is measured in range, not mpg. It can cover up to 289 miles on a full charge – slightly less for the Touring version. Real-world range depends on conditions and driving style, so expect less in cold weather or on motorways.

The Subaru Solterra is too new to have many major concerns. You should make sure the vehicle is charging properly and check the tyres, brakes and safety systems. Booking The AA Vehicle Inspection is a great way to get peace of mind before you buy.

Subaru is known for solid engineering, and the partnership with Toyota brings extra reassurance. Early reports show good reliability, and the electric drivetrain has few moving parts to go wrong. The Solterra has a three-year warranty, with eight years for the battery – though some rivals offer longer overall cover.
