The Solterra is Subaru's first-ever electric vehicle and is essentially a Toyota bZ4X.
It comes with front and rear motors to form an all-wheel-drive system.
It has a functional small-SUV interior, but its estimated range of 222 miles is shorter than the competition's.
The power is smooth and predictable, but with 215 hp the Solterra is behind the competition.
Handling is agile, and the ride is mostly comfortable.
Oddly, there is no glove box or a rear wiper.
With a weak 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger, home charging is on the slow side.
DC fast charging in public places, with a maximum acceptance rate of 100 kW, is also on the skimpy side.
AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW come standard.
