- Where did the name Solterra come from? It combines the Latin words for
"Sun" and "Earth."
- Range? approximately 220 miles.
- Power? 1.21 gigawatts. Not really. There is in fact an 80kw motor at each axle, with a combined 215 horsepower, that will zip you to 62mph in 7.7 seconds.
- Size? It's about as big as a Forester.
- Is it all wheel drive? Yes, Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All Wheel Drive is standard, and X-mode is also standard (activated with a switch, X-mode is a low-range "gearing" for serious traction).
- Can I take it off road? Yes! It's a Subaru through and through, and with 8.3" of ground clearance it's designed to go where you would take any other Subaru.
- Can I get Subaru's popular StarTex animal- and earth-friendly seating surfaces? Yes, if you choose the Limited or Touring trim levels (scroll down to see the model range).
- How much does each model cost?
