The evolution of the electric SUV has officially hit the streets of Louisville. At Neil Huffman Subaru, we are thrilled to introduce the 2026 Subaru Solterra—a vehicle that doesn’t just follow the electric trend but redefines what a Subaru EV can do.
With more power, a significantly longer range, and the rugged capability you expect from the Subaru name, the 2026 Solterra is ready for everything from the daily commute on Dixie Highway to weekend adventures at Red River Gorge.
What’s New for 2026?
Subaru listened to drivers and delivered a massive overhaul for this model year. The 2026 Solterra features a larger 74.7-kWh battery and upgraded motors, resulting in a driving experience that is quicker, smoother, and goes further on a single charge.
1. Performance That Packs a Punch
For the first time, Subaru introduces the Solterra XT trim. This performance-oriented variant delivers a staggering 338 horsepower and can zip from 0 to 60 mph in less than five seconds. Even the standard Premium and Limited trims received a boost, now offering 233 horsepower—a jump from the 215 hp of previous years.
2. Go Further with 288 Miles of Range
Range anxiety is a thing of the past. The 2026 model boasts an EPA-estimated range of up to 288 miles[1]—a significant 25% increase over previous models. Whether you’re heading to Lexington or across state lines, the Solterra has the distance to get you there.
3. Seamless Charging with NACS
The 2026 Solterra is the first Subaru to feature a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. This unlocks access to more than 25,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America. Plus, with improved battery preconditioning, you can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 28–30 minutes[2] at compatible DC fast chargers.
