We had been waiting for the arrival of the Subaru Solterra, the first electric SUV from the Japanese manufacturer. Now, the company has just officially presented this electric SUV that comes with the aim of standing up to Tesla and its fleet of vehicles.

A model that stands out for offering a modern, country and adventurous design. With sharp lines and a surprising front, this Subaru Electric SUV boasts an imposing appearance.

With an approximate length of 4.69 meters, a wheelbase of 2.85 meters, a width of 1.86 meters and a height of 1.65 meters, this is a very spacious vehicle so that any trip is really pleasant.

To this we must add some details that make a difference. For instance, It has a heat pump that is responsible for preventing the autonomy from being reduced in cold climates or when using the heated seats or steering wheel. There will also be a model with a panoramic glass roof or a metal roof with solar panels to improve autonomy.

Other details like support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay They could not be missing in a worthy rival of Tesla’s fleet of electric cars. Finally, it should be noted that it will have a fully automated parking system, along with different customization options.
