Solterra AWD (MY22-25)

The Subaru Solterra AWD (MY22-25) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £49,995. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, slower than 56% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 199 miles (320 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 21% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 205th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.1 mi/kWh (200 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 64 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 85 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 209 miles (337 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £251 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £16,100–£18,900 and a 2025 one at £28,500–£32,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 183 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
