Subaru has announced the pricing<\/a> of its first all-electric vehicle, the Solterra SUV<\/a>. The vehicle, which comes standard with all-wheel drive like most Subarus, will start at $44,995, with the \u201cLimited\u201d and \u201cTouring\u201d trims starting at $48,495 and $51,995, respectively. All models will have an extra $1,225 destination and delivery charge, bumping their cost out the door up a bit more.<\/p>\n

The Solterra will have an \u201cup to a 228-mile\u201d range, according to Subaru, and will be able to charge 80 percent of its battery in under an hour. While the Limited and Touring models add features like roof rails, wireless charging, and a glass roof, there\u2019s currently not an option to add more range to the vehicle \u2014 something that many other manufacturers offer.<\/p>\n

As someone loyal to their Subaru Outback, that\u2019s a bit rough. The company touts the Solterra\u2019s \u201cgo-anywhere capability,\u201d but my favorite backpacking spot is 108 miles from my house, with a single level two charger available anywhere along the two-ish hour route. I simply couldn\u2019t trust this vehicle to get me there and back again.<\/p>\n

I think it may be the fog lights (a feature of the \u201cLimited\u201d model) that make me like the Solterra, seen here, more.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Subaru<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The Solterra is based on the same platform as Toyota\u2019s bZ4X<\/a>, which starts at $42,000 for a front-wheel-drive model. If you want the bZ4X with all-wheel drive, you\u2019ll have to pay an extra $2,000 \u2014 adding up to still be $1,000 less than Subaru\u2019s model.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Solterra and bZ4X aren\u2019t exactly<\/em> the same car. Yes, they have the same or nearly identical range (when comparing the AWD models, anyways), X-Mode off-road assistance, and infotainment systems, but Subaru\u2019s vehicle has 0.2 extra inches of ground clearance. There are also at least a few stylistic differences between the two vehicles (beyond them being available in different colors), especially around the front; I personally prefer the Solterra\u2019s headlights and grille, though I\u2019m not sure I could point to exactly why. And while I\u2019m not saying I\u2019d pay $1,000 to be able to say \u201cI drive a Solterra\u201d instead of \u201cI drive a B4… no, bZX… wait,\u201d it would at least be a consideration.<\/p>\n

There is a complication when comparing prices between the Solterra and bZ4X. Subaru says its EV will be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit. While that\u2019s currently available for buyers trying to get their hands on a Toyota, it probably won\u2019t be for much longer, thanks to how many other electrified vehicles the company sells. Toyota executives have predicted<\/a> that by October 2022, anyone looking to buy a bZ4X may only be eligible for a $3,750 tax credit and that the incentive could be gone completely a year later. <\/p>\n

Given that Toyota is estimating extremely limited availability for the bZ4X, it may be tough to get it before those tax incentives are gone. If that\u2019s the case, it could make the Solterra\u2019s higher starting price slightly less of a factor. <\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t a lot of chargers in some places people like to take their Subarus.<\/em><\/figcaption>Map: ChargeHub<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, realistically, people will also probably compare Subaru\u2019s offering with EVs like the $40,900 Kia EV6<\/a>, $33,500 Chevy Bolt EUV<\/a>, the $42,690 Tesla Model 3, and potentially even the Rivian<\/a>. None of these are perfect comparisons \u2014 the Model 3 doesn\u2019t get the tax incentive, and you have to spend another $9,000 to get AWD (though that also boosts it up to a comfy 334-mile range), and the Kia and Chevy aren\u2019t as rugged. But given how expensive the Subaru is, buyers might think long and hard about what they really want from an EV before buying.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that while many manufacturers do technically have EVs, actually buying one can be a bit of a pain at the moment. The widespread shortages that make it difficult to find cars in stock also apply to electric options, and we\u2019ve seen dealers applying egregious markups<\/a>. At this point, though, it\u2019s hard to tell whether the same will happen with the Solterra.<\/p>\n

Subaru says the Solterra will \u201cbegin arriving in limited numbers at Subaru retailers this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
