Japanese auto manufacturer Subaru, best known in Europe for its range of four-wheel drive cars and its motorsport success in rallying, has announced the launch of its first all-electric vehicle.
The Subaru Solterra, the name derived from the Latin words for ‘Sun’ and ‘Earth’ will be built on the e-Subaru Global Platform, developed in partnership with Toyota, the company’s biggest shareholder. The vehicle is designed to replicate Subarus’s renowned off-road and all-weather capability.
Toyota, the world’s largest automobile manufacturer, was initially slow to develop electric vehicles but now plans to have a line-up of 15 BEVs by 2025.
Technical specifications of the Subaru Solterra are expected to be announced shortly and it is anticipated the vehicle will have a range of 329 miles in a front-wheel-drive configuration and 285 miles in full all-wheel-drive mode.
The Subaru Solterra will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17 and is expected to go sale in 2022.
