Solterra -- a combination of the Latin words for sun (solis) and earth (terra). An apt embodiment of Subaru's commitment to deliver proven and beloved SUV capabilities in an environmentally responsible package. The Solterra is the first all-electric global vehicle from Subaru. It is packed with new electrification and in-vehicle technology, all while remaining true and progressive to Subaru's industry-leading safety, go-anywhere capability, and captivating functionality.
Subaru's Dynamic X Solid design concept is on full display with the Solterra. Subaru's contemporary hexagonal grille is tightly integrated with the front fascia. The hood line is remarkably low for an SUV and gives the Solterra a sleek presence, it also improves forward visibility for occupants and improves aerodynamic efficiency. The notable and highlighted wheel arch mouldings provide a confident stance and clearly communicate the Solterra's off-road capabilities. The rear is dramatically sloped for further aerodynamic efficiency and sports spoilers fixed to the roof and a ducktail at the base of the glass. The Solterra's interior is sleek and minimalist, while prioritizing intuitive use and connectivity through its high-resolution touchscreen. An available panoramic glass roof further contributes to a feeling of airiness and comfort.
The Solterra comes equipped with an all-new and user-friendly multimedia system. The available 12.3-inch center touchscreen operates the multifunction display, multimedia system, and climate control. The new system comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available wireless charging phone dock in the center console. Smartphone app connectivity includes remote climate control and remote locking/unlocking. The Solterra also comes standard with a proven suite of driver-assist technologies including Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. For the first time from Subaru, a 360-Degree Surround View Camera system is available for improved all-around awareness.
Make way for a new variant of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, standard on the Solterra. The system is optimized to deploy power and torque smoothly and linearly from Subaru StarDrive® Technology -- delivering substantial on-demand torque at all speeds, and featuring driver-selectable regenerative modes to recuperate energy for the battery systems. With 8.3-inches of ground clearance, the Solterra is capable of light off-roading. X-MODE increases performance in low-friction conditions, while Grip Control with Hill Ascent and Descent Assist further optimizes the Solterra's off-road capabilities. A healthy 218 bhp and 340 Nm of torque is deployed to all four wheels. With DC fast charging, the Solterra can charge up-to 80% in under one hour, and estimated range is 350 km.
