The company also has a three-row electric SUV called the Getaway coming later this year.

Drivers can save significantly since electric models typically require less routine maintenance because they do not need oil changes and have fewer moving parts.Subaru is offering a $2,000 customer cash rebate alongside 0% financing, too, making these EVs more competitive with gas and hybrid alternatives.Charging at home can lower costs even further than relying on public chargers.AdvertisementAdvertisementInstalling solar panels reduces those costs more since charging with your own energy is cheaper than using public stations or drawing electricity from the grid.Subaru is leaning in to capability in its pitch, calling the Solterra's 8.3 inches of ground clearance "best in class" and touting Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.One of the biggest complaints about the older Solterra was charging performance, and Subaru said the new battery preconditioning system is designed to address that directly.The lineup now includes an entry-level, sportier EV in the Uncharted and a roomier, more powerful option in the Trailseeker.Get TCD's free newsletters for easy tips, smart advice, and a chance to earn $5,000 toward home upgrades.
