Car Deal of the Day: make the electric switch with a Subaru Solterra at £252 per month
The Subaru Solterra is a practical family EV for a bargain price - making it our Deal of the Day for 16 February
- All-wheel drive
- 289-mile range
- £252 per month
The Subaru Solterra manages to combine decent range, plenty of practicality and a funky exterior design all for £252 per month thanks to this deal we found on Leasing.com. When you factor-in the Solterra’s lofty £52,440 price tag, this deal sounds all the more excellent.
A personal contract hire (PCH) agreement, this deal is spread out over two years with an initial payment of £2,544, followed by 23 monthly payments of £252. The deal is also based on a mileage allowance of 5,000 miles per year but beware, upping this to 10,000 miles will cost you an extra £43 per month.
Compared to the best deal we could find on the mechanically identical Toyota bZ4X, the Subaru is £18 per month cheaper (not to mention the £131 cheaper deposit) and the Lexus RZ - which shares the same platform as both of these cars - is a huge £188 per month more on a similar deal.
So what do you get for your money? Well, with its 71kWh battery the Soleterra will cover up to 289 miles on a single charge and thanks to 150kW charging speeds it’ll replenish 20-80 per cent of that battery in just 19 minutes at the right charger.
This being a Subaru, of course there’s permanent all-wheel drive as standard with an electric motor on each axle. This means the Soleterra is pretty quick, taking 6.9 seconds to go from 0-62mph.
For a large, two-tonne electric SUV, the Solterra also drives surprisingly well. There’s a smooth ride with exterior noise well-damped and should you decide to attack some corners, the body roll is kept mostly in check while there’s a consistent feel to the steering.
There’s a load of interior space, too, plus the rear seats feature a reclining back rest which is a nice touch. A boot space of 452 litres is pretty useful.
