Subaru Solterra

Subaru Solterra

FROM
$69,990

A ground-breaking car in the sense that it is Subaru’s first electric vehicle.

Like the BRZ sports car, it has a Toyota twin-under-the-skin known as the bZ4X.

Subaru fought hard to have a symmetrical AWD system with outputs combustion-engined drivers could wrap their heads around with its futuristically-styled and conservatively-executed Tesla Model Y rival.

The line-up currently starts at $69,990 for the Solterra AWD and ranges through to $76,990 for the range-topping Solterra Touring AWD.
