2025 Subaru Solterra

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Solterra.

The 2025 Subaru Solterra enters the current model year carrying a distinctly improved reliability profile, distinguished by just four total owner complaints and two recalls. While visibility and wiper issues stand as the top complaint area for this iteration, the broader data reveals a vehicle that has largely smoothed out its early flaws. Across the model's short history spanning 2023 to 2025, this year sits as the lowest for complaints—a stark contrast to the 25 grievances logged during the 2023 launch year—meaning the Solterra has successfully matured past its initial production teething to deliver a more stable ownership experience.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Subaru Solterra marks the third model year, and the complaint trend is clearly downward: from 25 in 2023 to 13 in 2024 and just 4 in 2025. Recalls have held steady at two per year, indicating that while the same underlying safety issues were addressed each model year, no new large-scale problems emerged. Technical service bulletins (TSBs) also dropped sharply from 113 in 2024 to 53 in 2025, suggesting that dealers have fewer common fixes to apply. The 2025 model’s complaints are spread across four areas—Visibility/Wiper, Powertrain/Electrical, Suspension, and Other—each with only one report, and there are zero crash or fire complaints. This places the 2025 at the mature end of the generation’s arc, benefiting from prior recalls and TSBs, though the data does not specify whether the two 2025 recalls are carryovers from earlier years or new issues. Overall, the 2025 Solterra is a good year to buy if you want the lowest reported complaint rate and the most refined version of this generation.
