Subaru Solterra Depreciation & Resale Value

Subaru Solterra keeps an estimated 39% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #625 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Subaru Solterra retains an estimated 39% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #625 of 684 cars we track. That is 2 points above the 37% five-year average for EV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Subaru Solterra sheds about 7% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $38,495 it falls to around $15,128 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,367, about $12.80 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Subaru Solterra bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
