2026 Subaru Solterra Lease Deals Now Available
The Solterra is Subaru’s first full EV, developed together with the Toyota bZ. It’s a compact electric SUV with standard all-wheel drive, so it keeps the brand’s outdoorsy character while adding EV practicality. It’s also the quickest Subaru in America, so that’s not a bad thing to start with. For buyers who want to try an EV without giving up what makes a Subaru a Subaru, it’s a natural place to start.
For 2026, the Solterra gets real improvements, while also gaining EV siblings within Subaru’s stable. Range is up by about 25 percent, charging is faster, and there’s more power across the board. Starting just under $40,000, it’s priced below several rivals with similar features.
If you’re not ready to commit long-term, Subaru’s January lease deals make it easier to try out an EV without a big upfront spend.

Subaru’s Lease Deals for January
Subaru’s current lease offer centers on the entry-level Premium trim, but the numbers are sharp enough to get noticed across the segment. The advertised price is for a 36-month lease, which is as long as this deal goes. Some dealers might offer shorter terms, but expect higher monthly payments if you go that route.
| Trim | Monthly Payment | Lease Term | Due at Signing | Annual Mileage |
| 2026 Solterra Premium | $339 | 36 months | $2,839 | 10,000 miles |
There’s no security deposit required, and the deal runs through February 2, 2026, depending on your location and which dealer you visit. Subaru says there are other lease programs for higher trims like the Limited and Touring XT, but those aren’t advertised nationally at the same rate. Availability depends on your region, and you’ll need to pick from what’s already on the lot.
2026 Subaru Solterra Highlights
The 2026 Solterra finally gets the updates it needed to compete with other electric compact SUVs. Range jumps by about 25 percent, with EPA numbers now up to 288 miles depending on the trim. Charging is quicker, too, with 150-kW DC fast charging and a NACS port so you can use Tesla Superchargers.
Notable highlights across the lineup include:
- Dual-motor all-wheel drive standard on all trims
- Up to 338 horsepower in the new XT variants
- Updated suspension and steering calibration
- 14.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Inside, the Solterra features good visibility, flexible cargo space, and easy-to-live-with controls. Subaru’s X-MODE system brings Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes, so it still has some off-road chops even as an EV.

Final Thoughts
The Solterra is great for daily use. With more range, standard all-wheel drive, and the same practical Subaru feel, it finally matches what buyers expect, especially if you’re moving up from a gas-powered Subaru.
Leasing a Solterra makes a lot of sense since you get the latest battery and charging upgrades without locking yourself in for the long haul, which matters as EV tech keeps changing fast. If you’re cross-shopping with the Model Y or Mach-E, Subaru’s January lease program is a low-risk way to go electric and still keep the Subaru traits you know.
