The Solterra crossover is largely similar to the Toyota bZ4X, but because it’s a Subaru, it naturally comes standard with all-wheel drive. The two electric motors combine to generate 215 horsepower, drawing energy from a 72.8kWh battery. Maximum range is rated at 360 km, which is far from segment-leading. Subaru engineers have also limited fast-charging capability in order to increase battery longevity. Keep in mind that towing is not recommended with this particular EV.
Denver, Colorado— Launched in 2022, the Subaru Solterra —Toyota bZ4X’s non-identical cousin—is still a fairly rare electric vehicle on Canadian roads.

While the Subaru Solterra has largely disappointed since launching in 2023, forcing the company to offer big discounts and even skip the 2025 model year, the story could be very different with the significantly improved 2026 Solterra which is now on sale in Canada. Before we share pricing details, which …
A trio of related electric crossovers are now the subject of a joint recall due to a possible windshield defroster issue. Affected models are the 2023-2025 Toyota bZ4X and Lexus RZ as well as the 2023-2024 Subaru Solterra . The recall includes over 21,600 units in Canada—essentially every single one …
The Subaru Solterra , the Japanese brand's first electric vehicle, was introduced in 2023 and hasn’t proven particularly convincing so far.
