Subara Solterra Overview
The Solterra is Subaru's full-size electric SUV. It uses a 74.7 kWh CATL battery and a dual-motor 252 kW powertrain with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. WLTP range is up to 566 km in the AWD and 517 km in the AWD Touring. AC charging runs up to 22 kW on three-phase power and DC fast charging tops out at 150 kW, which Subaru says is enough to take the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes.
Ground clearance is 212 mm and towing capacity is 1500 kg. Standard equipment includes a 14-inch infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless phone chargers and the latest Subaru Safety Sense suite. The AWD Touring adds Harman Kardon premium audio and Advanced Park Assist.
Solterra Sales Performance
Since the launch of the updated model earlier this year, Solterra sales have been increasing. It is the 11th best selling electric medium SUV so far in 2026 selling 324 year to date.
Subaru Trailseeker Overview
The Trailseeker is the most powerful production Subaru ever sold in Australia. It produces 280 kW from its dual-motor setup and reaches 100 km/h in around 4.4 seconds. WLTP range is up to 533 km in AWD form and 488 km in AWD Touring. The Trailseeker shares the same 74.7 kWh battery, 150 kW DC fast-charging rate and 22 kW AC charging hardware as the Solterra and Uncharted.
The Trailseeker is positioned as a large all-terrain wagon. It carries Subaru's Symmetrical AWD system, X-Mode off-road modes and a more practical body style with longer load space than the Solterra. Subaru began Australian customer deliveries in the second quarter of 2026.
Uncharted launches today at $59,990
Subaru Australia confirmed Uncharted pricing on the same day as the Solterra and Trailseeker reductions, making the Uncharted the new entry point to the brand's three-model EV range.

Subaru quotes a preliminary WLTP range of up to 522 km, pending final homologation for Australian-specification vehicles. The certified figure may differ on production cars.
Standard equipment includes Dual-mode X-Mode with Grip Control, Downhill Assist Control, a Panoramic 360-degree View Monitor, a 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless phone chargers, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and Subaru Safety Sense.
