Detailed review and test of the 2024 Subaru Solterra electric SUV, including range, interior, pricing, ride quality, off-roading AWD and more.
This is Subaru’s first all-electric model: the Forester-sized Solterra. It shares nearly its entire mechanical and cosmetic package with the Toyota BZ4X but the Solterra is AWD only in Australia. So we took it off road.
Pros: Comfortable ride, quality cabin, well specced, spacious interior, decent off-road capability, much needed price cut.
Cons: Interchangeable with a Toyota BZ4X, only adequate boot space, no long-range variant, no spare wheel, pricier entry point than BZ4X.
