The Quiet Performance Bargain.

$1,500 over the Limited buys the XT motors — 338 hp and a sub-5-second 0–60. That's quietly one of the best performance-per-dollar buys in the entire Subaru lineup, and almost nobody knows it's here.

What Limited XT Adds

One line item. A big one.

  • The XT dual-motor punch: 338 hp, 0–60 in under 5 seconds
  • All of Limited's comfort layer stays — upgraded seats, audio, and convenience features
  • The full 2026 platform underneath: fast charging in about 28 minutes 10-to-80%, the 14-inch screen, AWD standard
  • At $1,500 over Limited, it's the cheapest serious speed Subaru sells — a WRX conversation for EV people

The Honest Trade-Off

Speed takes a small bite somewhere.

  • A few miles of range traded for a lot of grin — the standard-motor trims are the range maximizers
  • If you never use the power, you paid $1,500 for a party trick — the Limited is the same car at every legal speed driven gently
  • It's still a family SUV, not a sports car — if corners matter more than launches, drive a WRX before you decide

$42,895 starting MSRP* — your out-the-door number comes in writing before you set foot on a lot.

Step Down? Step Up?

Step down?

If you're not sure you need the power, you probably don't — and Limited at $41,395 saves you $1,500 with the exact same comfort, range platform, and charging. Drive both back to back before you decide. The XT sells itself in the first on-ramp or it doesn't; we won't do it for it.

Step up?

Touring XT at $45,555 keeps the same 338 hp and checks every remaining comfort and tech box — $2,660 more for features, not speed. If you're the person who wants nothing left unchecked, that's the flagship. If you came here for the motors, they're all present and accounted for right here.

No pressure either way — we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $38,495 or $45,555.

Every 2026 Solterra Trim

Questions People Actually Ask.

The questions buyers ask right before they decide on this trim.

Is the Solterra Limited XT worth it?

At $42,895 starting MSRP, $1,500 over the Limited buys the XT motors — 338 hp and a sub-5-second 0–60. That's quietly one of the best performance-per-dollar buys in the entire Subaru lineup, and almost nobody knows it's there. All of the Limited's comfort layer stays; only the motors change.

What's the cheapest quick Solterra?

The Limited XT at $42,895 starting MSRP is the cheapest way into the 338-hp dual-motor setup and the sub-5-second 0–60 — the same powertrain as the $45,555 Touring XT. At $1,500 over the standard Limited it's the cheapest serious speed Subaru sells, which makes it something like a WRX conversation for EV people.

Does the Solterra XT lose range?

It trades a few miles of range for a lot of grin — the standard-motor trims are the range maximizers. The fast-charging performance and the 14-inch screen are unchanged. If you never use the power you paid $1,500 for a party trick, and the Limited at $41,395 is the same car at every legal speed driven gently.

Solterra Limited XT vs Touring XT — which should I get?

The Touring XT at $45,555 starting MSRP keeps the same 338 hp and checks every remaining comfort and tech box — $2,660 more for features, not speed. If you came for the motors, they're all present and accounted for at $42,895. If you're the person who wants nothing left unchecked, the Touring XT is the flagship.
