Subaru Solterra
The Subaru Solterra was designed and developed alongside the Toyota bZ4X. The two ride on the same platform and share multiple components, but the former comes exclusively with all-wheel drive and is more capable off the road. The 72.8kWh battery provides a range of no more than 359 km. The interior is nicely appointed and comfortable. However, many drivers have problems with the digital instrument panel positioned at the base of the windshield. Towing is not recommended.
