The groundbreaking SUV that blends all-electric efficiency with legendary Subaru design and engineering for the first time. In developing the Solterra, the first Subaru battery-electric vehicle (BEV) to be launched globally, the engineers set out to create a fun and practical SUV that would represent a cornerstone for the future.
Above all that, though, the Solterra was designed to stay true to the Subaru brand values-it was engineered to create an authentic Subaru driving experience from start to finish. This means: genuine go-anywhere capability, real-world versatility, and the enjoyment and peace of mind Subaru drivers around the world have come to expect. The 2023 Subaru Solterra delivers all of that and more, plus the sweet and silent benefits of all-electric motoring.
Versatility, Capability and Eco-Credibility The Solterra may be an all-electric Subaru, but it remains a Subaru to the core. Case in point: The legendary Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system which, here, sees one electric motor driving the front wheels and another powering the rear wheels. This configuration gives the Solterra superior capability, handling, traction and control in the trickiest of driving conditions. Also standard is the X-MODE° system, which generates increased confidence on steep hills, and the new Grip Control function, which helps maintain a constant speed even on rough roads. For even more versatility, the Solterra features 8.3-inches. of ground clearance and short overhangs to help clear minor obstacles.
Specifically engineered for all-electric vehicles, the new e-Subaru Global Platform is the most rigid platform we've ever built, with strategically placed crumple zones and a reinforced structure for confidence-inspiring crash protection. In the event of a collision, this platform directs the impact energy away from the passenger compartment and absorbs it, protecting all occupants and defending the critical components of the powertrain.
With respect to active safety systems, the Solterra is equally advanced. Standard equipment includes next-generation driver-assist technology which monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, warns you when you're veering outside your lane and even brings the vehicle to a full stop automatically through the Pre-Collision Braking system. Other advanced safety systems-such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind-Spot Detection, Reverse Automatic Braking and a 360-degree surround-view camera system-are also available.
The 2023 Subaru Solterra is a tried-and-true Subaru-so passenger comfort, versatility and flexibility come standard. The cabin features up to 126 cubic feet of total interior volume, generous leg room for all five passengers and a perfectly flat floor. The cargo area features up to 30 cubic feet of storage space, a low load height and an extra-wide opening for easy access, as well as an optional power liftgate.
The cabin features a modern, logically organized layout with soft-touch materials throughout with available all-weather upholstery for added convenience and durability. The Solterra comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoT. integration, while the available high-resolution 12.3-inch touchscreen brings even more intuitive control. The advanced infotainment system allows you to access news, navigation, music, podcasts, and more through available cloud-based apps and SiriusXMOD.
