2026 Subaru Solterra Owner Review2026 Subaru Solterra Base owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it?

No.

Have you had to make any warranty claims?

No.

Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership?

No.

Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far?

Yes.

Absolutely delighted with the finish, handling and general usability – especially with the much-improved battery management.

I would recommend it to others who have a need for a good EV that is AWD.

Would definitely consider another one someday.

Insurance costs are very reasonable, and efficiency has proved very good.

John’s experience with the 2026 Subaru Solterra Base

From test drive to purchase and delivery, the whole process was seamless. Subaru Eblens Glenelg were first class, and the deal was spot on for us.

Some time ago, we decided that our last car would be an EV, and being very satisfied Subaru owners, naturally, we went with them again.

Main winners are the car itself, it is awesome to drive, the great backup and service I’ve always had at Eblens.

It was very important to go with a brand that had local support and a first-class reputation for dealing with problems.

The smaller wheels with the extra rubber were appealing as it is a much more efficient setup and better suited to tracks and gravel roads, which we frequent.

I also cannot see the value in a sunroof in Australia, and apart from missing my much-loved driver recognition, it didn’t feel like I was missing much else.

Early days yet, so far happy with everything.
