2026 Solterra

Quite a few significant improvements. Not sure if these were all pre-announced before, but just reading this, could make it a real winner. My original 2023 model is great off-road, and if this one is even better, that is quite a feat. And the bonus is vastly improved fast charging (if it matches the specs). Now it could also be used as a trip car.

From the article;
" upgraded front and rear electric motors with silicon carbide semiconductors, producing 233 horsepower (up from 215 hp). You also get a 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery (up from 72.8 kWh) which delivers 288 miles of range (up from 227 miles.
Subaru said that’s just a 2% bump in battery capacity, but thanks to better cell insulation, upgraded cooling, new motors and improved aerodynamics, it translates into a massive 26% gain in range."

That is an amazing range gain just utilizing more efficient (yet more powerful) motors/electronics and tweaking the battery characteristics/cooling.
Thanks for the link, looks good for Subaru

And a lot faster charging. The new Trailseeker drive train and platform should be similar.
