Is the 2023 Subaru Solterra a good car?

With a 3.8/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating, the 2023 Subaru Solterra looks like a solid but selective buy rather than a universal crowd-pleaser.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise the smooth ride, handling, and overall feature content, and they also like the look and feel of the vehicle. The trade-offs are the lower range and the sense that the price can feel high for what you get, especially on used examples with more miles.

That fits the Solterra’s role as a practical, Subaru-flavored EV: it leans into everyday usability, standard all-wheel drive, and crossover-friendly cargo space instead of chasing the longest range or flashiest EV personality. The market reflects that balance, with 32.1% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2023 Subaru Solterra reliable?

The 2023 Subaru Solterra is built around Subaru’s familiar all-wheel-drive identity, and owner feedback points to a car that feels smooth, dependable, and easy to live with.

Owners describe it as smooth and feature-rich, and they also highlight the handling and power delivery in a positive way. The expert notes reinforce that sense of confidence by describing the symmetrical AWD system as always on and able to route power to the wheels with traction, which is the kind of setup that can help the car feel composed in poor weather and on rougher roads.

Subaru also says owners should expect roughly 9 hours on a level-two home charger and about 56 minutes to reach 80% at a DC fast charger, which gives you a useful ownership baseline for daily charging habits. For a used buyer, the main long-term risk is making sure the battery and charging behavior still match expectations, especially if the car has seen frequent fast charging or heavy use.

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 prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a used EV where battery condition and charging behavior matter. Focus on overall condition, charging-port use, tire wear, and whether the car has been used mostly for home charging or relied on frequent DC fast charging.

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 described as sensible and comfortable, but the base trim is the one most likely to feel stripped compared with the higher trims.
• Powertrain: The Solterra uses symmetrical all-wheel drive with a 72.8-kWh battery pack, 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, lane-keeping assist, intersection collision avoidance, road-sign assist, speed limit warning, and lead-vehicle start. The lane-keeping and lane-tracing functions are called out positively.
• 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 EPA-estimated range is 228 miles in Premium trim and 220 miles in Limited and Touring trims. Subaru says level-two home charging takes roughly 9 hours, and DC fast charging can take the battery from zero to 80% in about 56 minutes.
• Battery health: On a used Solterra, you should check battery state-of-health, confirm normal charging behavior, and review how much battery warranty coverage remains. A clean charging history and consistent range are especially important on an EV with modest range to begin with.

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 choice if you want the Solterra’s core appeal at the lowest entry price. You still get standard all-wheel drive, standard safety tech, wireless smartphone integration, and the longest EPA-estimated range in the lineup.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the best balance of equipment and everyday usability. It adds the premium Harmon Kardon audio system and navigation availability, while keeping the Solterra’s core strengths intact.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the most upscale version, including the 12.3-inch touchscreen and the intelligent digital assistant. It also brings the top-end cabin presentation, but it is the priciest trim and gives up some range versus Premium.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core driver-assistance suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Subaru Solterra?

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 427 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.59% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,188.32, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Subaru Solterra's resale value?

The current average of $23,319 sits slightly below last year's $26,376.

That price movement suggests the Solterra has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help you as a buyer today. If you plan to sell later, though, the same trend means resale value may remain sensitive to range, condition, and how well the market continues to value Subaru’s EV identity.

Because the model’s range is a known weak point, future resale will likely depend on how buyers compare it with newer EVs. A well-kept example with strong battery health and a clean history should hold up better than one with heavy use or visible wear.

Is the 2023 Subaru Solterra safe?

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

Subaru advertises EyeSight as standard on the Solterra, and the suite includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, lane-keeping assist, intersection collision avoidance, road-sign assist, speed limit warning, and lead-vehicle start.

The lane-keeping and lane-tracing functions are specifically praised for working smoothly, and that matters because a good driver-assistance system can reduce fatigue in everyday driving. There is no crash-test result cited here, so the safety case rests on the standard equipment list and the expert score rather than formal test ratings.

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:

• 32.1% 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 11.59% compared with last year.
• It delivers Subaru’s first EV with symmetrical all-wheel drive and a practical, familiar driving feel.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $25,614, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $23,319 average.
• It adds quicker charging and updated standard safety features.

The bottom line: If you want the lower entry price and are comfortable with the 2023 model’s range and charging limitations, this year can make sense. If you want a more convincing EV package and can stretch for the newer model, the 2024 is the stronger all-around choice; price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2023 and shop carefully for a clean, well-priced example.
