Subaru has refreshed its electric lineup, unveiling a new version of its popular Solterra electric SUV for the Australian market. The company has cut the price by a substantial 7,000 dollars, bringing the sticker to just 63,990 dollars. Beyond the friendlier pricing, buyers also get a set of meaningful technical upgrades and richer equipment.

The Solterra EV now carries a larger 74.7 kWh battery, pushing WLTP-rated range to an impressive 566 kilometers. It also features a two-motor drive system with a combined output of 342 hp.

Among the key changes is a completely new exterior look. The body design has been refined, giving the car a more modern, appealing presence. Inside, comfort and functionality step up thanks to a generous 14-inch multimedia display that makes managing vehicle functions straightforward.

To elevate comfort further, there is interior ambient lighting with 64 selectable colors. Even the base version adds a heated steering wheel, keeping the driver comfortable in any weather.

Charging tech has advanced as well: maximum charging power has doubled to 22 kW, enabling quicker battery top-ups. The maximum trailer capacity has also increased and now stands at 1,500 kg. Taken together, these updates make the refreshed Solterra feel more complete and more compelling for everyday use.
