What are the features of the 2023 Subaru Solterra?

For 2023, Subaru combined the sun and the earth. The result is the 2023 Subaru Solterra. The latest edition to the Subaru lineup of vehicles boasts all of the industry leading reliability and safety features synonymous with Subaru, but now with zero-emissions. Subaru's Solterra features the StarDrive powertrain paired with its legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.  Subaru's StarDrive boasts the Driving Mode Select that enables the driver to select Normal, Eco, and Power modes. Subaru also brings the driver additional control with S-Pedal Drive that utilizes regenerative braking power and paddle shifter with adjustable regenerative braking systems. Add Subaru's X-Mode to 8.3 inches of ground clearance and you have an EV with traction that can tackle the most difficult terrain on the road ahead.

The 2023 Subaru Solterra features cutting edge EV technology and engineering. The e-Subaru Global Platform incorporates reinforced structure and strategic crumple zones to become the most rigid platform constructed by Subaru. While engineered with safety as priority, Subaru has integrated state of the art technological systems such as Eyesight Driver Assist Technologies, Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Trace Assist to ensure the safest commute.

The Subaru's EV interior amenities begin with Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and an impressive 12.3 inch touchscreen to easily control the Subaru Multimedia with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's no shortage of technology inside the Solterra.  Subaru's new electric vehicle is equipped with Solterra Connect, Digital Key, and Advanced Park. The Solterra is a spacious five-seat SUV that offers StarTrex trimmed upholstery.

On the outside, Subaru dressed the Solterra with an eye-catching, aerodynamic exterior that includes LED headlights, contrasting protective cladding, and a split-design roof spoiler. What you don't see is the full underbody tray that enhances the aerodynamics and that makes for a safe, quiet, and efficient drive in almost any driving conditions.
