Used 2023 Subaru Solterra for Sale near Maine

How much does the 2023 Subaru Solterra cost?

Prices have softened 12.74% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 432 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Subaru Solterra a good car?

The 2023 Subaru Solterra is a mixed but appealing choice if you want an electric crossover that feels familiar rather than futuristic, with a 3.8/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners most often praise the smooth ride, the handling, and the look and feel, and they also like the car’s features and power. The main trade-offs are the lower range and the sense that charging could be faster, plus the price can feel high for what you get on the used market.

Because the Solterra is aimed at shoppers who want crossover utility, practical cabin space, and Subaru character in an EV, it makes the most sense if those priorities matter more to you than maximum range or cutting-edge EV flash.

With 34.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Subaru Solterra reliable?

The 2023 Subaru Solterra is positioned as a practical, easygoing EV, and owner feedback points to a car that feels smooth, dependable, and generally trouble-free in day-to-day use.

The user review summary also highlights long-term satisfaction with the ride quality, handling, and overall ownership experience, which supports the idea that this is a vehicle you can count on for regular driving. The expert evaluation adds that the Solterra’s symmetrical all-wheel drive, ground clearance, and composed suspension help it feel stable and predictable, especially when conditions get rough.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that EV ownership costs can rise if the battery or charging system has been neglected, so you should pay close attention to charging habits and battery condition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Subaru Solterra?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and verify that the car has a clean title, consistent service records, and no signs of prior body repair. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on tire wear, brake condition, charging-port condition, and whether the cabin electronics and driver-assistance features work properly. For an EV like this, battery health and charging behavior matter just as much as cosmetic condition.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Premium trim gets cloth upholstery, while the Limited and Touring trims upgrade to StarTex synthetic leather. The cabin is practical and comfortable, but the base trim leaves you with a simpler interior and fewer upscale touches.
• Powertrain: The Solterra uses symmetrical all-wheel drive with electric motors that make 215 hp and 249 pound-feet of torque. It is tuned more for predictable, serviceable driving than for standout acceleration.
• Safety package: EyeSight is standard, and it includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, and lane-keeping assist. It also adds intersection collision avoidance, road-sign assist, and lead-vehicle start.
• Infotainment: Premium trims get an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Touring trim uses a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard, and navigation is available by subscription on Premium or by moving up to Limited or Touring.
• Range & charging: The battery pack is 72.8 kWh. EPA-estimated range is 228 miles in Premium trim and 220 miles in Limited and Touring trims. Subaru says a level-two home charge takes roughly 9 hours, and DC fast charging from zero to 80% takes about 56 minutes.
• Battery health: Check the battery state of health, confirm how the car was typically charged, and make sure the charging speed still feels normal. Home charging is usually gentler than frequent DC fast charging, and you should also verify how much of the battery warranty remains.

Which 2023 Subaru Solterra trim should I buy?

The 2023 Subaru Solterra is offered in 3 trim levels: Premium, Limited, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the Solterra’s core appeal at the lowest price. You still get standard all-wheel drive, standard safety tech, wireless smartphone integration, and the longest listed range at 228 miles.
• Limited: This trim is the sweet spot if you want more comfort and convenience without jumping all the way to the top. It adds StarTex synthetic leather, a premium Harmon Kardon audio system, and the ability to add navigation.
• Touring: This is the most feature-rich version, with the 12.3-inch touchscreen, StarTex upholstery, an intelligent digital assistant, and available wireless charging. It suits you best if you want the most upscale Solterra experience.

Safety equipment is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim to get the core driver-assistance suite.

What is the 2023 Subaru Solterra's resale value?

The current average of $23,181 sits slightly below last year's $26,565.

That price drop suggests the Solterra has become more attractive to used buyers than it was a year ago. If you plan to sell later, you should expect the market to remain sensitive to range, charging speed, and overall EV demand. A well-kept example with clean history and strong battery health should hold up better than one with visible wear or charging concerns.

Is the 2023 Subaru Solterra safe?

The 2023 Subaru Solterra has not yet been crash-tested by NHTSA or IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Subaru’s EyeSight suite is standard, and it includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, and lane-keeping assist. It also adds intersection collision avoidance, road-sign assist, and lead-vehicle start. The lane-keeping and lane-tracing functions are described as especially effective.

Should I buy a 2023 Subaru Solterra or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.74% compared with last year.
• It introduces Subaru’s first EV with symmetrical all-wheel drive and a practical, familiar feel.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $25,614, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $23,181 average.
• It adds quicker charging, updated safety features, and more comfort-focused upgrades.

The bottom line: If you want the lower purchase price and the original Solterra experience, the 2023 is the better value. If you can spend more for a more polished EV with meaningful updates, the 2024 is the stronger all-around pick; price-sensitive buyers should stay focused on the 2023.
