2023 Subaru Solterra: Vs the Toyota bS45Xc45ZZ…
Last Updated:
The new Subaru Solterra is basically the exact same car as the new Toyota EV.
I was actually surprised to discover a new front end. Subaru actually spent a little bit of money to make the new model look more like a Subaru.
And, I guess it works. It looks much busier than the Toyota. At least they didn’t give it a chrome grille. But otherwise, they added plenty of unnecessary lines all over the clean Toyota front end.
In true Subaru fashion.
I will see both next week at the L.A auto show. We pretty much know everything we need to know about these two. Except for the US range. Which should be a bit over 300 miles for the FWD version.
The big question mark left is the price.
Same thing with the Ioniq 5…
I would definitely go for the Subaru since it includes a door to access the receptacle to plug it in.
Vince – Subaru is making the new EV in a FWD version?
That would mean the second time they released a vehicle without AWD (the first being the BRZ coupe).
The Toyota will be available with FWD for sure.
The Subaru will offer FWD and AWD in Japan. But I think the US model could be AWD only.
We'll know for sure next week at the Auto Show.
The Toyota has a door for the charge plug too…
Vince, this looks more like an Integra than that ugly yellow car shown by Acura a few days ago.
Not sure which one is uglier….
Let's make it look different, only different enough so our own employees will notice.
