Subaru Canada has shared pricing details for the brand’s long-awaited, first global all-electric vehicle. The 2023 Subaru Solterra will cost Canadian buyers at least $52,295, which gets them the base model (with AWD, of course). That makes this BEV eligible for federal and provincial government EV incentives.
The range-topping model with Technology Package will set them back $62,095 or more.
The product offering doesn’t actually run much deeper than that, mind you, with only one other model fitting in between those bookends; the middle-child Solterra with Luxury Package will cost $58,395.
We’ve covered the specifications of the 2023 Subaru Solterra before, but in a nutshell:
- AWD is standard across the board, as mentioned, with the vehicle fitted with a pair of electric motors;
- Maximum range is given at 360 km with the vehicle using a 72.8-kWh battery pack;
- That pack is of 100-kW capacity and can take charge level from 10 to 80 percent in 50 minutes on a fast charger;
- The vehicle comes standard with the EyeSight suite of safety and drive-assist systems.
