Granite Subaru – Subaru Solterra Trims & Packages
The Subaru Solterra is the brand's first-ever all-electric SUV, offering the versatility and capability you expect from Subaru with zero tailpipe emissions. Built in collaboration with Toyota, the Solterra shares much of its platform with the Toyota bZ4X, but adds Subaru's signature touch: standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, a rugged appearance, and off-road readiness. Available in three distinct trims, Premium, Limited, and Touring, the Solterra caters to a wide variety of drivers who want a confident, eco-friendly vehicle without compromising on capability.
Understanding the differences between the trims and available packages can help you choose the Solterra that best fits your lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a practical commuter, a feature-packed family vehicle, or a tech-forward EV with luxury appeal, there's a Solterra configuration for you.
Solterra Premium
The base Premium trim delivers impressive value while still offering the core elements that make the Solterra stand out in the electric SUV segment. It comes equipped with dual electric motors that produce 215 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of torque, sending power to all four wheels through Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. This setup provides excellent traction in rain, snow, and light off-road conditions. The EPA-estimated range is up to 228 miles on a full charge.
Inside, the Premium trim is outfitted with a clean and modern interior featuring StarTex-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, and a manually adjustable driver's seat. A 7-inch digital gauge cluster provides key vehicle data, while an 8-inch touchscreen serves as the command center for infotainment. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and drivers will appreciate the suite of EyeSight driver-assist features that includes lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision braking.
On the exterior, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and roof rails complete the look. The Premium trim is ideal for buyers who want an affordable EV with all-weather capability and essential tech features.
Solterra Limited
Stepping up to the Limited trim brings additional creature comforts, technology upgrades, and an expanded suite of safety features. One of the most noticeable differences is the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen that replaces the 8-inch version in the Premium model. The system offers more advanced controls, better graphics, and a more immersive infotainment experience.
The Limited trim also includes a power driver's seat, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel, perfect for colder climates. Upholstery is upgraded to a premium version of StarTex synthetic leather, and interior accents are more upscale to reflect the trim's higher positioning. A wireless phone charger and upgraded Harman Kardon premium audio system enhance the driving experience even further.
On the outside, the Limited adds 20-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights, and a power rear liftgate with hands-free access. Safety features are enhanced with the addition of a 360-degree surround-view camera system and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
If you want a more refined cabin, better tech, and added conveniences without stepping into luxury-level pricing, the Solterra Limited offers an attractive middle ground.
Solterra Touring
At the top of the lineup is the Touring trim, which delivers the highest level of refinement and technology available in the Solterra. It shares the same dual-motor setup as the other trims, offering consistent performance and range, but introduces features typically reserved for high-end electric vehicles.
One of the Touring's most striking features is the panoramic fixed glass roof with a power sunshade, creating an open, airy atmosphere in the cabin. Interior upgrades include synthetic leather-trimmed upholstery with contrast stitching, ambient lighting, and an upgraded center console design. Additional visual flourishes and unique finishes distinguish the Touring's interior from the other trims.
A digital rearview mirror with HomeLink, illuminated door sills, and ventilated front seats come standard. The Touring trim also includes all features found on the Limited, such as the Harman Kardon audio system and 12.3-inch infotainment screen.
While the Premium and Limited trims offer excellent value and capability, the Touring trim is ideal for drivers who want a premium EV experience without sacrificing Subaru's commitment to rugged utility and practical features.
Available Packages and Options
Subaru keeps the Solterra's packaging relatively simple, which helps streamline the buying process. Each trim level comes well equipped, and rather than offering a long list of add-ons, Subaru includes most upgrades as part of the higher trims.
However, some stand-alone options and accessories are available, including roof crossbars, all-weather floor liners, splash guards, and a tow hitch receiver for bike racks or small trailers. You can also choose from several exterior colors unique to each trim, allowing for additional personalization.
Charging and Range Considerations
Every Subaru Solterra includes both Level 1 and Level 2 charging capabilities, and DC fast-charging is also supported. With the right charging station, the Solterra can charge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 56 minutes using a fast charger.
While the estimated range varies slightly by trim, due to factors like wheel size and equipment, the Solterra generally offers around 222 to 228 miles on a full charge. These figures make it suitable for daily commuting, weekend getaways, and even light off-roading adventures.
Which Trim Is Right for You?
Choosing the right Solterra trim largely depends on how much emphasis you place on creature comforts, advanced tech, and premium materials. The Premium trim covers all the basics and is a smart choice for practical drivers who want to experience electric driving without a high price tag.
The Limited trim adds a layer of convenience and technology that many drivers will find compelling, especially with the upgraded touchscreen and added safety features. For those who want a near-luxury electric SUV with standout design and a more premium feel, the Touring delivers on every front.
All trims come standard with Subaru's excellent all-wheel-drive system, making any version of the Solterra a solid year-round performer, whether you're in the city or heading to the mountains.
