SUBARU’S FIRST GLOBAL ALL-ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Solterra, the brand’s first battery electric vehicle has been built as an authentic SUV in an environmentally friendly package to be launched globally.
The Solterra will be the cornerstone of Subaru’s future BEVs. The vehicle has been jointly-developed by Toyota and SUBARU, which entered into a new business and capital alliance in September 2019.
The BEV-dedicated e-Subaru Global Platform enables a driving experience with superior driving dynamics, that brings high stability and handling linearly responds to driver’s steering operation. High capacity battery packs are placed under the floor as a part of the structure, giving a low center of gravity and high body strength.
Solterra has adopted a new system that drives the front and rear wheels with separate motors. Taking advantage of the expertise in AWD technology that Subaru has accumulated over many years, it is controlling precisely the flexible driving force distribution between front and rear. Like the other SUBARU SUV models, Solterra features the X-MODE AWD control system by adding the new Grip Control function, which enables the vehicle to run at a constant speed while stabilizing the vehicle even on rough roads.
The sale of the Solterra will start by the middle of 2022 in the markets including Japan, the United States, Canada, Europe and China.
