Subaru's first electric car is on the way. The manufacturer will unveil the Solterra SUV soon. Marketing in Europe will take place in 2022.
The first electric Subaru, here it is! Finally, say the European distributors who suffered a severe tightening of the tax on CO2, while the Subaru models are known not to be the best placed in terms of rejections in the certification test.
This electric Subaru, you guessed it, is an SUV. The Solterra actually stems from the Evoltis concept, and its design is closely linked to that of another electric SUV, at Toyota. The brand recently presented the bZ4X concept which will announce a zero emission model in the near future.
The two manufacturers are collaborating on these electric vehicle projects in order to reduce development costs. The Subaru Solterra and the equivalent at Toyota (whose final name is not yet known) will be launched jointly in 2022 in Europe.
This partnership is in addition to that linking Toyota to Suzuki for hybrids. There will therefore be a little "family" spirit among the Japanese brands in the short term on certain projects, and not just automotive ones.
