Introducing the 2025 Subaru Solterra Base

The 2025 Subaru Solterra Base arrives as Subaru’s first global electric SUV, pairing modern electric propulsion with signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for confident driving on paved streets of Lakeland or rugged terrain near Cordova. Built on the same platform as the Toyota bZ4X, it represents Subaru’s commitment to electrification without compromising the brand’s off-road heritage.

This compact SUV employs a dual-motor electric system generating a combined 215 horsepower alongside 249 lb-ft of torque. With an estimated EPA driving range up to 227 miles, the Solterra Base suits daily commuting and weekend excursions from cities like Marion, AR, to more challenging environments. The robust 72.8-kWh battery pack supports home and public charging with a 6.6-kW onboard Level 2 charger, plus rapid DC fast charging reaching up to 100 kW, enabling a recharge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 35 minutes under ideal conditions.

While its electric powertrain delivers smooth, quiet acceleration—achieving 0–60 mph around 6 seconds—the Solterra places more emphasis on stability, ride comfort, and traction than outright sportiness. This trait resonates well with drivers near Millington and Bartlett who value predictable handling in diverse weather or light off-road scenarios.

Exterior Styling and Functional Design

The Solterra Base strikes a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and rugged SUV appeal, thoughtfully designed to accommodate usage around West Memphis’s urban settings as well as off-the-beaten-path drives in Arlington. The silhouette combines smooth flowing lines with purposeful body cladding that protects lower panels during light trail use.

Subaru equips this model with standard roof rails capable of supporting static loads of up to 700 pounds, allowing owners to easily attach cargo carriers, bike racks, or kayaks for outdoor adventures around Memphis. Measuring a wheelbase of 112.2 inches and an overall length of 184.6 inches, the Solterra provides a commanding road presence without feeling oversized for city parking or suburban garages in Oakland or Lakeland.

Illumination is handled by LED headlights and taillights optimized for visibility and energy efficiency, wrapped in a cohesive design that showcases subtle black accents adding a modern touch without sacrificing rugged practicality. The standard alloy wheels are sized at 18 inches, with options for 20-inch wheels on higher trim levels.

Exterior Dimensions and Capabilities

Electric Performance and Handling Dynamics

Underneath its modern exterior lies Subaru’s dedication to all-weather capability. The Solterra Base comes standard with dual electric motors powering both front and rear axles, delivering superior traction control across a variety of conditions encountered within Bartlett’s seasonal weather or rougher paths near Marion. This symmetrical AWD setup adjusts torque distribution dynamically, sending up to 60% of available torque to the rear axle for enhanced grip.

Drive modes enhance adaptability with settings including Eco, Normal, Power, and the specialized X-Mode for tackling slippery surfaces and challenging terrain. This mode optimizes traction control, throttle response, and braking to aid in low-speed climbing or descents. Alongside, regenerative braking is modifiable using paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, offering drivers precise feedback and energy recovery control.

The chassis incorporates front strut suspension paired with a rear multilink design, tuned for composure and ride comfort — delivering a supple drive over city streets of Cordova or uneven country roads. Braking is managed by sizable vented disc brakes—12.9 inches upfront and 12.5 inches in back—providing confident stopping power from speeds up to the Solterra’s electronically limited top speed of 104 mph.

Performance and Handling Specifications

Interior Comfort and Cabin Experience

Step inside the Solterra Base and experience a thoughtfully engineered cabin designed for both simplicity and versatility, fitting a range of lifestyles from professional commutes in Memphis to outdoor trips originated in Lakeland or Cordova. Despite the raised rear floor—an influence of the battery’s placement—the front cabin boasts spacious dimensions that offer ample legroom of 42.1 inches, while rear passengers have a respectable 35.3 inches.

Materials focus on durability and eco-consciousness, with fabric upholstery in subtle tones promoting an airy atmosphere complemented by a large panoramic sunroof option available on higher trims. The cabin benefits from five strategically placed USB ports, ensuring all passengers stay connected and charged, perfect for longer drives to nearby recreational sites or errands around Arlington.

Cargo flexibility is practical, featuring 23.8 cubic feet of space behind the second row expandable to 63.5 cubic feet with folding seats. While a front trunk isn’t available, efficient cargo organization and roof rails ease gear loading for activities like kayaking or biking near West Memphis’s green spaces.

Interior and Cargo Dimensions

Infotainment, Connectivity, and Safety Technologies

The Solterra Base delivers a modern technology suite tailored for intuitive control and seamless connectivity within Cordova’s city streets or cross-town trips to Arlington shopping areas. Its cockpit-centered around a 7-inch digital gauge cluster provides essential vehicle information at a glance, accompanied by an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that serves as the command hub for entertainment and navigation.

Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enable effortless smartphone integration for hands-free calls, music, and messaging. The innovative “Hey, Subaru” voice assistant enhances control over climate settings, wipers, and navigation, though some cloud-connected functionality may require subscription enrollment.

An embedded Wi-Fi hotspot and Bluetooth technology keep passengers connected, while the available Solterra Connect system extends vehicle monitoring and remote control features through a smartphone app. This connectivity extends safety measures by facilitating real-time updates and emergency notifications.
