Solterra highway range and real-world range

At a steady 120 km/h, we estimate the Subaru Solterra AWD covers about 277 km on a full charge, versus 359 km rated.

Solterra highway range at 120 km/h

NRCan's tests show the AWD using 20% more energy on the highway than in the city, so highway range is lower the combined rating. NRCan's highway cycle averages well under 100 km/h, so we take its highway figure and reduce it by 15% for 120 km/h. The Solterra ranks #29 of 30 on this estimate.

Solterra real-world range

Real-world range depends on speed, temperature, wheels and load. Mixed driving in mild weather usually lands near the rated 359 km. Sustained highway speeds pull it toward the 277 km estimate, and a cold highway trip can drop it further; see the Solterra winter range. For trip planning, most drivers use between 10% and 80% (charging stops) or 100% (leaving home) of the battery, which is about 205 to 264 km of highway driving.
