The order banks are now open for the refreshed MY26 Subaru Solterra EV. Invoice pricing for the Premium trim remains unchanged from MY25, while the Limited trim sees a $570 reduction. Destination and Delivery (D&D) costs have increased by $30 year over year. The Solterra now offers up to 288 miles of range, a 25% improvement over the previous model year, and comes standard with a NACS (Tesla-style) charging port along with a CCS adapter for use at non-Tesla stations. Improved battery preconditioning allows for 10–80% fast charging in about 30 minutes, even in temperatures as cold as 14°F, with charging speeds up to 150 kW.
Notable upgrades include a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless CarPlay, a power rear gate, best-in-class 8.3-inch ground clearance, revised suspension tuning, enhanced aerodynamics, and updated front and rear styling. More powerful XT trims (Limited and Touring) are now available, offering 338 horsepower. The vehicle also comes standard with Subaru’s EyeSight® driver-assistance technology, which includes emergency steering assist, collision avoidance, lane departure prevention, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, emergency stop assist, and more.
Subaru Fleet has announced a $7,000 incentive starting from car one for all Solterras ordered through the Subaru Commercial Fleet Factory Ordering channel, which customers can arrange through their Subaru Fleet Account Manager. Built in Japan, the first MY26 Solterras are expected to arrive in November, with pricing and specifications subject to change.
September Auto Market Update: Policy Shifts, Tariff Pressures, and Mixed Sales Momentum
September was an eventful month in the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) space, with notable policy shifts and market dynamics. In the U.S., the $7,500 tax credit ended, while Canada paused its 2026 ZEV mandate for a 60-day review, and Quebec confirmed it would not ban internal combustion engine (ICE) light vehicle sales after 2035. Meanwhile, Halifax received its first shipment of German-built Teslas intended to avoid counter-tariffs. Despite these developments, ZEV sales lagged behind mandates across Canada, falling far short of the Norwegian benchmark.
