The new Subaru Solterra is a game-changer in the electric SUV market, offering impressive features at a price point significantly lower than luxury competitors like the Range Rover—starting at just £52,495. With a range of up to 289 miles on a single charge, the Solterra has created its first fully electric SUV designed to meet the needs of families, delivering both performance and practicality. Equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, it tackles a variety of terrains with ease.
The SUV’s 21cm ground clearance and 50cm wading depth ensure it handles off-road conditions, while a 0-62mph time of 6.9 seconds provides plenty of power for everyday driving. Inside, the Solterra boasts a practical and user-friendly design, with real physical buttons and a large touchscreen interface.
It comfortably accommodates five passengers and offers ample boot space for your gear.
It also includes two USB-C sockets in the front and two more in the rear to keep everyone connected on the go.
The car has the ability to go from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes using a 150kW fast charger, and the 71.4kWh battery is backed by an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty, The Telegraph reports.
Subaru offers standard features like Pre-Collision Braking, a Heat Pump, and X-MODE for added traction, making the Solterra equipped for a variety of driving conditions.
With other elements like Subaru Safety Sense, 360-degree panoramic monitors, Wireless Apple CarPlay, and wired Android Auto, it’s a functional SUV that doesn’t skimp on technology or comfort.
The car also has 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, heated door mirrors and privacy glass.
While the Solterra may not be as luxurious or attention-grabbing as competitors like Range Rover, it provides a sense of authenticity and affordability that is not found in other popular SUV models.
