Take A Closer Look At The 2023 Subaru Solterra

在184.6英寸长,65英尺宽,一个d 73.2 inches high with a 112.2-inch wheelbase, the Solterra is slightly larger than the Forester. In Europe, the Solterra is powered by a 71.4 kWh lithium-ion battery and two electric motors, with one on the front axle and one at the rear providing a permanent all-wheel-drive system. The US Solterra will come with AWD as standard too, but theJapanese versionwill also be available with FWD.

Combined, the two electric motors generate 215 horsepower and 248-lb-ft of torque, matching the US model's output. No performance specifications were revealed for the US version at the time, but Subaru has confirmed the European Solterra will hit 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds.

As for range, Subaru says the driving range "shouldn't be too far from the 400-kilometer mark" on a single charge which is around 248 miles. For comparison, Subaru estimates the US version will manage about 220 miles on a single charge based on tougher EPA estimates. It will also retain 90 percent of its battery capacity for ten years according to Subaru. Using a DC fast charger, the battery can be charged up to 80 percent in 30 minutes.

Inside, the interior is dominated by a central 12.3-inch display, while the reduced number of physical buttons and switches creates an "open, relaxing, uncluttered space." With up to 30.3 cubic feet of loading capacity for the US-spec model, there's room in the trunk for three large suitcases or four golf bags. The Solterra is scheduled to go on sale in mid-2022.
