Subaru Australia has revealed local pricing and specifications for the updated 2026 Subaru Solterra. Armed with a larger battery for a longer range, more powerful motors and revised exterior styling, the updated Solterra has also been given a price cut of up to $7000 and the range now starts at $63,990 plus on-road costs.

Thanks to a new 74.4kWh (up from 71.4kWh) lithium-ion battery, the Solterra offers a big WLTP range increase to 566km (+152km) for the entry-level Solterra and up to 517km (+103km) for the upper-spec Touring. Peak AC charging speed has been increased to 22kW from 11kW, while DC fast charging remains at 150kW for a 10-80 per cent charge time of 30 minutes.

In addition to the extra range, Subaru has also made the Solterra more powerful and now produces 252kW of power and 437Nm of torque, making it the most powerful mainstream Subaru ever produced. The front motor now makes 167kW (+87kW) and the rear now 88kW (+8kW), and the extra power has doubled its braked towing capacity to 1500kg.

Other changes to the Solterra include revised exterior styling with a new front end, new 18- and 20-inch alloy wheels, new colour-adjustable ambient lighting, a new centre console with two 15W wireless phone chargers and a larger 14-inch touchscreen with new software.
