The 2026 Subaru Solterra Touring XT is the fully specified configuration of Subaru’s all-electric SUV. It combines the Solterra’s core EV identity — Symmetrical AWD, X-MODE with Grip Control, EyeSight, and the NACS charging port — with the highest output dual-motor system, a panoramic glass roof with motorized shade, ventilated front seats, radiant leg heater, display rearview mirror, and tonneau cover. For Hudson Valley buyers who want the most capable and refined Solterra available, the Touring XT is the answer.
Bottom Line: The Touring XT delivers 338 HP, the panoramic glass roof, ventilated seats, radiant leg heater, display rearview mirror, and tonneau cover on top of the full Limited equipment package. Optional two-tone paint and Black & Blue Leather upholstery are available at this tier.
- 338 HP dual-motor Symmetrical AWD
- Panoramic glass roof with motorized shade (exclusive to Touring XT)
- Ventilated front seats and radiant leg heater for driver and passenger
- Display rearview mirror with wide-angle camera view
- Optional Black & Blue Leather upholstery
- Optional two-tone paint (body color with Astro Black roof)
The 338 HP Dual-Motor System
The Touring XT uses the higher-output version of the Solterra’s dual-motor AWD system, rated at 338 HP. This is the same 105 HP increase over the standard 233 HP system that is also found on the Limited XT, and it fundamentally changes the performance character of the vehicle.
In an all-electric AWD architecture, 338 HP translates directly and immediately to the wheels — there is no powertrain delay, no gear shifting, no lag between throttle input and acceleration. From a standing start, the Touring XT accelerates with the kind of immediacy that makes highway on-ramps, Taconic Parkway merges, and passing maneuvers effortless rather than deliberate. For Hudson Valley buyers who spend time on two-lane roads with limited passing opportunities, this matters.
The higher output system is paired with the same Symmetrical AWD architecture and X-MODE with Grip Control that appears across the lineup — the performance increase does not come at the expense of traction management or all-weather capability.
Panoramic Glass Roof with Motorized Shade
The panoramic glass roof is the Touring XT’s most distinctive cabin feature and the one that most differentiates its interior experience from every other Solterra trim. The roof’s glass panel spans the cabin above both front and rear seating positions, admitting natural light and sky views that make the Solterra’s interior feel substantially larger and more open than the roof structure would otherwise suggest.
The motorized shade provides practical thermal control. In Hudson Valley summers, direct solar gain through a glass roof can add meaningfully to cabin temperature — the motorized shade blocks solar energy while maintaining the perception of an open cabin. On scenic drives through the Catskills or along the Hudson Valley’s fall foliage routes, the shade can be retracted fully for unobstructed sky views.
For families with rear passengers — children, particularly — the panoramic roof transforms the rear seat experience. Rear passengers benefit from the light admission without the direct sun management concern that front passengers with a conventional sunroof experience.
Ventilated Front Seats
The Touring XT’s ventilated front seats use a perforated seat surface with an integrated fan to circulate air through the seat, actively cooling occupant contact points. In a glass-roof vehicle with significant solar gain in summer months, ventilated seats become more relevant than in a conventional SUV — the roof’s heat contribution means you’ll use seat ventilation more frequently than in a vehicle without glass overhead.
For Hudson Valley buyers who commute in the summer and find heated seats insufficient for the humid conditions between June and September, ventilated seats provide measurable comfort improvement that air conditioning alone cannot fully replicate.
Radiant Leg Heater
The Touring XT includes radiant leg heaters for both the driver and front passenger — a direct-heating element positioned to warm the lower leg area independent of the seat heater and cabin temperature. In the Hudson Valley’s winter conditions, where temperatures can drop into the teens and single digits, the combination of heated seats and radiant leg warmers creates the kind of enveloping cabin warmth that makes cold-morning starts significantly more comfortable.
The radiant heater also warms more efficiently than relying solely on cabin air temperature, which has a practical range benefit in cold weather — electric cabin heating draws from the battery, and targeted radiant heat achieves occupant comfort more efficiently than heating the entire cabin volume.
Display Rearview Mirror
The Touring XT’s display rearview mirror replaces the conventional reflective mirror with a camera-based display that shows a wide-angle rear view on the mirror surface. The camera is positioned at the rear of the vehicle and provides a field of view that conventional mirrors cannot match — it includes areas blocked by rear passengers, cargo, and the vehicle’s pillars.
For Hudson Valley buyers who regularly carry cargo, outdoor equipment, or passengers in the rear seat, the display mirror eliminates a common visibility limitation that conventional rearview mirrors have had for decades.

Two-Tone Paint Options on the Touring XT
The Touring XT is the trim level where two-tone configurations — body color with an Astro Black contrasting roof — are available. Five colors offer two-tone options: Harbor Mist Gray Pearl, Elemental Red Pearl, Cosmic White Pearl, Smoked Carbon, and Midnight Tide Mica. Each two-tone configuration carries both the premium paint charge (if applicable) and an additional two-tone charge.
Two-tone paint on the Touring XT creates some of the most visually distinctive Solterra configurations available. The contrast roof emphasizes the vehicle’s roofline and creates visual differentiation that singles out the vehicle in any parking environment.
"The Touring XT in Elemental Red Pearl with the two-tone black roof is the version that stops people in the lot and makes them ask what it is. But it's the driving experience that closes the sale — 338 horsepower in an AWD EV, with that glass roof open, is a genuinely different experience than any other Subaru we sell. Buyers who've only driven the Limited come in for a Touring XT test drive and immediately understand what the upgrade is about."
