What Are the Critics Saying About the 2023 Subaru Solterra?

The 2023 Subaru Solterra reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. In particular, critics have singled out the high ground clearance, versatile drive modes, and off-road capability of the Solterra, features which are uncommon to EVs. Take a moment to review the 2023 Subaru Solterra review highlights:

  • MotorTrend: “The Solterra is an excellent first effort for Subaru’s first electric vehicle. Subaru succeeds in building something that mostly feels like a normal SUV but just happens to be electric, and we like that with 8.3 inches of ground clearance, it’s more capable away from pavement than most other electric crossovers.”
  • Car and Driver: “The Solterra offers some neat off-road tricks and lots of standard driver assists, and it has estimated driving ranges between 222 and 228 miles. While the 2023 Solterra currently doesn’t face much competition in the non-luxury EV compact segment, the landscape could drastically change in the next year or so.”
  • U.S. News & World Report: “This Subaru is plenty capable of heading off the pavement thanks to 8.3 inches of ground clearance, grip control, hill ascent, descent assist, and X-Mode with Snow, Dirt, and Deep Snow, and Mud drive modes.”
  • Kelley Blue Book: “Other advantages of electric power in these unpaved situations include the abundant torque available at low speeds, the lack of engine noise (all the better to hear the birds singing), and no spewing of hydrocarbons over the sagebrush. Just make sure there’s enough juice in the battery to reach the next charger.”
