It’s time to switch to an electric crossover, but how do you decide which one to pick? When you compare electric vehicles, the 2023 Solterra and Hyundai IONIQ 5 are both fully electric SUVs in a similar price range. Read on to see how these two vehicles compare, and if you’re curious about the Subaru Solterra, available at Morrie's Brooklyn Park Subaru, then be sure to visit our dealership near Brooklyn Park for a test drive.
The starting price for the Solterra Premium trim level is $44,995. The price for the SE trim of the Hyndai IONIQ5 is $45,500, which is very close to the Solterra Premium. When it comes to differences between the Subaru Solterra and Hyundai IONIQ 5, the most noticeable is in their off-road capability. The IONIQ 5 offers an optional AWD version, but it doesn’t have the ground clearance of the Solterra. Subaru has a long-standing reputation for off-road performance, and they are continuing that tradition with the introduction of the first full-time AWD electric SUV.
Subaru’s StarDrive dual motor system produces 160 kWh and 215 horsepower, which allows the Solterra to go from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. The Solterra is the first all-electric SUV with Symmetrical AWD and a full 8.3-inch ground clearance. Equipped with X-MODE and downhill assist, the Solterra has exceptional traction on even the most challenging road surfaces.
The price for the SE trim of the Hyndai IONIQ5 is $45,500, which is very close to the Solterra Premium. The IONIQ 5 SE RWD has an estimated 303-mile range on a full charge with 168 kW and 225 horsepower. It also offers a suite of driver safety assists and entertainment technology, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen standard on all trims.
The Subaru Solterra has an estimated range of 228 miles on a charge. Keep in mind that this is a full-time AWD vehicle, which is more of a drain than a rear-wheel or FWD SUV. When you are ready to go electric in Maple Grove, either of these vehicles will make for an excellent choice.
