Subaru Solterra vs Toyota C-HR+

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Toyota C-HR+ has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is comparable to the Subaru Solterra at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Toyota C-HR+ is listed at about 30 minutes, roughly matching the Subaru Solterra. In this case, the headline kW number should not drive the decision by itself.

Range and Efficiency

The Toyota C-HR+ has a WLTP rated range of approximately 514 km, which is roughly 99 km more than the Subaru Solterra at approximately 415 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Toyota C-HR+ consumes 167 Wh/km, compared to 200 Wh/km for the Subaru Solterra. That means the Toyota C-HR+ uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Toyota C-HR+ has approximately 72 kWh of useable battery , while the Subaru Solterra has approximately 69 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 150 kW. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Toyota C-HR+ supports up to 11 kW, compared to up to 6.6 kW for the Subaru Solterra. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Toyota C-HR+ is the more efficient choice at 167 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Toyota C-HR+ has a WLTP rated range of approximately 514 km, which is roughly 99 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
