After testing out Subaru Solterra when I drove it last year, I was left unimpressed largely because it was a rebadged version of the Toyota bZ4X. I actually drove Toyota's model before the Solterra, so you could say I was already spoiled ahead of my drive because it looked and felt identical. However, I feel differently about the 2026 Subaru Solterra.
Nearly just about everything feels fresh and new with the Solterra. From its subtle redesign that makes it sleeker and more attractive looking, to how it’s more future proof with a NACs charging port, the 2026 Subaru Solterra is shaping to be one of the most underrated EVs I’ve tested all year.
