The 2027 Subaru Solterra Premium emerges as the strong overall option in the Solterra lineup, delivering an EPA-estimated 288 mi EV driving range and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive at an approachable base MSRP of $38,495.

Which 2027 Subaru Solterra Trim Offers the Best Value for Chesterfield Families?
The 2027 Subaru Solterra Premium delivers the strongest overall value proposition in the lineup by pairing an accessible base MSRP of $38,495 with standard All-wheel drive and the maximum EV driving range of 288 mi.
For drivers navigating the gently rolling hills and suburban roadways around Chesterfield, choosing the right electric crossover comes down to balancing everyday utility with long-term cost efficiency. The Premium trim features Subaru's renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system powered by a 233 hp electric powertrain, offering complete confidence in all-weather conditions without requiring a price jump to higher trim tiers.
Stepping up to the Limited XT requires a base MSRP of $42,895, while the flagship Touring XT reaches a base MSRP of $45,855. Both XT models increase output to 338 hp, but that extra horsepower comes with a slight trade-off in electric efficiency, reducing total driving range to 278 mi. For most busy households balancing daily work commutes, school runs, and weekend outings, the Solterra Premium hits the ideal sweet spot of affordability, all-season traction, and range between charging stops.
If you are considering upgrading from your current crossover, you can easily value your trade-in online before visiting our showroom. Families seeking maximum seating capacity for larger groups might also consider exploring our selection of new Subaru Ascent models, but for buyers ready to adopt zero-emission driving, the Solterra Premium represents an outstanding starting point.
