2027 Subaru Solterra Changes


Executive Summary:
2027 Solterra release date at Planet Subaru: late Fall of 2026.
On its volume products (think Outback Forester, Crosstrek), Subaru typically introduces all-new models on a five-year product cycle. Take a look at the way this cycle would unfold on this generation of Solterra:

Model year (and sequence in product cycle):Change:
2023 (first year)
All new design from the ground up
2024 (second year)
Very similar to prior year
2025 (third year)
Very similar to prior year
2026 (fourth year)"Refresh": exterior and interior revisions
2027 (fifth year)
Very similar to prior year
2028 (first year)
Cycle repeats...all new design from ground up
What's interesting is that Solterra is not a vehicle that Subaru sells in large volumes, but they still maintained the normal product cycle, introducing a significant revision for the 2026 model year. We can only assume that they recognize how quickly electric vehicle technology is advancing and they want to be on the cutting edge, even at large engineering expense. 




After a comprehensive overhaul in 2026, the 2027 Subaru Solterra delivers strong value, enhanced range, and increased performance starting at $38,495 MSRP, which is the same as the outgoing model. The 2027 Subaru Solterra EV continues with the same lineup as the 2026 model year: Premium, Limited, Limited XT, and Touring XT.
