Subaru Solterra price, release date, range, and specs for the 2022 EV crossover
Subaru is launching its first electric vehicle with the Solterra, and it promises to deliver the capability and handling that Subaru owners expect and love.
Subaru has been slow to adopt EVs or even hybrids, but that’s changing with the new Solterra. It’s a joint project between Toyota and Subaru, similar to the BR-Z/86 sports car, and it pairs with the Toyota bZ4X (although the Subaru has a far better name and is a better-looking car).
The Solterra isn’t a speed demon, but with 8.3 inches of ground clearance (the Mustang Mach-E has 5.7-inches, while the VW ID.4 has 6.7) and AWD, it could be the preferred EV of outdoorsy Subaru enthusiasts who like camping and such.
In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about the new Subaru Solterra, from release date, price, and specs to range and charging time.
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
The Subaru Solterra has an interesting design with a lot of rather nice-looking wheel cladding.

The rear glass has a dual-spoiler at the top and ducktail spoiler at the bottom.
What is the Subaru Solterra charging time?
