The 2027 Subaru Solterra Touring XT is the flagship trim of Subaru's all-electric compact SUV, and it's built for families and professionals who want zero-emissions driving without giving up all-weather capability. With 338 hp, a 278-mile EPA-estimated range, and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Touring XT delivers genuine performance alongside a premium cabin. Starting at $45,855 before the $1,475 destination charge, it sits at the top of the Solterra lineup and earns that position.

The 2027 Subaru Solterra Touring XT earns an EPA-estimated 278 miles of range from its 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, which translates to a combined efficiency rating of 117 MPGe— enough for most suburban families to go a full week of daily driving without a charge stop. City efficiency comes in at 128 MPGe, while highway driving rates at 105 MPGe.

For families making the daily run from Chesterfield's rolling neighborhoods into St. Louis for work in healthcare, finance, or tech, that 278-mile range removes charging anxiety from the equation entirely. A round-trip commute plus school pickups, errands along Chesterfield Valley, and a weekend drive to the Missouri Riverfront parks still leaves plenty of range in reserve.

The Solterra's charging flexibility adds to that practical picture. Using a Level 2 (240V) home charger at the maximum 11 kW the onboard charger accepts, a full 0-to-100% charge takes approximately 7.46 hours — plug-in overnight and wake up to a full battery. When you need a faster top-up, DC fast charging at up to 150 kW brings the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 0.47 hours, making longer road trips to Missouri's state parks genuinely practical.

Edmunds notes that the Solterra offers a quiet, comfortable ride with standard all-wheel drive, calling it a top electric pick for wet-weather climates — a description that fits Missouri's unpredictable spring and winter seasons well.

A single efficiency number does not capture what the Touring XT feels like to drive. The XT designation signals the high-output dual-motor configuration, and the combined output is a genuine 338 hp delivered through a single-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels via Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

Two permanent magnet synchronous AC motors — one at the front axle producing 167 kW and one at the rear producing 87 kW — work together to deliver that total output. The practical result is a 0-to-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds, which Car and Driver described as the quickest-accelerating Solterra they had tested, noting that the XT powertrain brings surprisingly swift straight-line speed to the all-electric crossover.

For suburban driving, that translates to effortless merging onto highways and confident passing on two-lane roads without the hesitation that plagues less powerful EVs. Autoblog noted that standard all-wheel drive makes the Solterra genuinely capable off the beaten path compared to class rivals, with the higher-output variants delivering effortless overtaking ability.

The suspension pairs a front strut setup with a rear wishbone configuration, both using coil springs and independent geometry on each corner. Front and rear track widths of 63.0 inches and 63.4 inches respectively contribute to the stable, planted feel on Chesterfield's gently rolling roads. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic brake assist, and an auto-hold electronic parking brake round out the chassis hardware.

Traction Control (TRAC) and stability control are standard, along with a hill holder function that prevents rollback on inclines. Torque figures are not published in the catalog data, but the dual-motor layout and instant electric torque delivery are well-suited to the terrain families navigate daily. Owners who want to keep their Solterra performing at its best can find genuine Subaru parts and accessories through Sunset Hills Subaru's parts department.

Five passengers fit comfortably in the Solterra Touring XT, arranged in a 2+3 configuration with bucket seats up front and a three-person bench in the rear. The numbers behind that comfort are worth knowing before you decide.

Front headroom measures 38.6 inches, rear headroom 37.1 inches— enough that taller adults in the back seat are not fighting the roofline. Front legroom of 42.1 inches and rear legroom of 35.3 inches give the Solterra a genuinely usable second row, not just a courtesy bench. Shoulder room of 58 inches up front and 55 inches in the rear means three rear-seat passengers are not elbowing each other on longer drives.

Cargo space behind the rear seats measures about 24 cu ft, and folding the rear seatback asymmetrically expands that to about 63.5 cu ft— room for a full set of golf clubs, hiking gear, or a weekend's worth of luggage for a family of four. The cargo floor loads at 28 inches from the ground, a comfortable height for lifting heavier items. A flexible cargo cover and load-restraint hooks are standard.

The driver's seat is a power-adjustable bucket with five-way electric adjustment and memory settings for height, lumbar, reach, recline, and tilt. The front passenger seat offers four-way electric adjustment. Both front seats are heated, as are the rear outboard seats. Driver and front passenger seats also include ventilation — a welcome feature during Missouri summers. Leather upholstery is standard throughout, with the available Black & Blue Leather interior option offering a distinctive two-tone treatment for buyers who want a sportier cabin aesthetic.

Dual-zone automatic climate control lets the driver and front passenger set independent temperatures, and a heat pump supplements the electric heating system for efficient cabin warming in cold weather.

The Touring XT carries a base MSRP of $45,855, with a destination charge of $1,475 bringing the delivered starting price to $47,330 before any applicable federal or state EV incentives.

As the flagship of the Solterra lineup — sitting above the Premium, Limited, and Limited XT configurations — the Touring XT bundles the high-output dual-motor powertrain with the most complete interior and technology package Subaru offers in this model. Buyers get the full harman/kardon audio system, panoramic roof with electric sunshade, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, leather upholstery, 20-inch alloy wheels, the complete connected services suite, and the advanced safety package, all without navigating a long options list.

Personalization options include the Color-Match Wheel Arch Moldings package, the Black & Blue Leather interior option, two-tone paint configurations (standard gloss, pearl, and mica variants with a black roof), and a practical accessories menu covering all-weather floor liners, a cargo tray, cargo net, aero crossbar set, splash guards, body side moldings in color-matched finishes, door edge guards, wheel locks, exterior graphics, a windshield sunshade, and a USB charging cable set.

Competitors in this segment include the Toyota bZ4X, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, but few match the Solterra's combination of standard all-wheel drive and the Touring XT's output level in this segment.

The EPA-estimated range is 278 miles from the 74.7 kWh battery. For most suburban commuting patterns — including school runs, errands, and a daily round-trip commute of 40 to 60 miles — that range covers an entire week of driving on a single charge when using a Level 2 home charger overnight. Longer weekend drives are equally manageable, and DC fast charging at up to 150 kW can add substantial range in under 30 minutes at a public station.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Touring XT — it is not an upgrade or a separate package. The dual-motor layout powers all four wheels at all times, with the front motor producing 167 kW and the rear producing 87 kW for a combined system output of 338 hp. This is the same full-time AWD philosophy Subaru applies across its lineup, not a part-time system that only engages when slip is detected.

On a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), charging is slow — approximately 50 hours for a full 0-to-100% charge. A Level 2 home charger at 240V with the Solterra's 11 kW onboard charger completes a full charge in approximately 7.46 hours, making overnight charging the practical choice for most households. For faster public charging, the CCS DC fast charge port accepts up to 150 kW, bringing the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 0.47 hours.

The Touring XT includes a comprehensive standard safety package: 8 airbags (including knee airbags for driver and passenger), automatic emergency braking active above 7 mph, Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA), RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert), lane departure warning with active steering, a driver attention monitor, Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), full automatic parking assistance, pedestrian audio warning, and Level 2 partial automation capability. None of these require an additional package.
