2023 Soltera is the electric Subaru for Subaru people
CASEY WILLIAMS | Auto ReviewerAutoCasey@aol.com Subaru knows its people, who are among the most loyal to any automotive brand.
They love their Outbacks, Foresters, Ascents and WRXs. They are also among the most environmentally conscious, dog-friendly, off-roading auto owners around.
They take their kids to school and hike on the weekends. What they haven’t had until now is an electric vehicle of their own.
That changes with the 2023 Solterra that I just sampled in California. A little background: The Solterra was co-developed with Toyota, which offers the similar bZ4X and Lexus RZ 450e. ……………… 2023 Subaru Solterra Five-passenger, AWD CrossoverPowertrain: Li-ion batteries/motorsOutput: 215 hp/249 lb.-ftSuspension f/r: Ind/IndWheels f/r: 18-inch/18-inch alloyBrakes f/r: regen disc/discMust-have features: Performance, UtilityDriving range: 222 miles0-60 mph: 6.5sEconomy: 104 mpg-eBase price: $44,995 (minus $7,500 fed credit) …………..
