2023 Subaru Solterra EV Debuts November 17th In Los Angeles

The teaser campaign for the 2023 Subaru Solterra is entering the homestretch as the company has announced plans to introduce the electric crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Set to debut on November 17th, the model will feature “plenty of ground clearance” as well as a standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system.  The latter promises to make the crossover “off-road and all-weather capable.”

Subaru went on to describe the Solterra as “quiet, spacious and comfortably equipped.” The automaker added it’s the “most technologically advanced Subaru yet.”

While the company is playing coy on specifics, the model looks virtually identical to the Toyota bZ4X and this isn’t surprising as the two vehicles were jointly developed. As a result, we can expect the Solterra to ride on the e-TNGA platform and measure 184.6 inches (4,690 mm) long, 73.2 inches (1,860 mm) wide, and 65 inches (1,650 mm) tall with a wheelbase that spans 112.2 inches (2,850 mm).

On the performance front, we can expect a 71.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers front and rear electric motors each producing 107 hp (80 kW / 109 PS). This should give the model a combined output of 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 7.7 seconds. More importantly, the Solterra should have a range of approximately 286 miles (460 km).

When it comes time to charge, owners can expect an 80% charge in 30 minutes using a 150 kW DC fast charger. The model may also be offered with a solar roof that can generate the electricity equivalent of 1,118 miles (1,800 km) of range annually.
