Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X: What We Know So Far About the Close Cousins
For the second time Subaru and Toyota are partnering up and going halfsies on a pair of vehicles. Unlike their previous efforts that led to two bargain-priced and quite good sports cars, this next collabo is all about EV tech as both the 2023 Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra are full battery-electric crossovers.
‘Round back, both also get a full-width light bar and taillamp housings that swoop down towards the rear wheels. Overall, the look is a rugged one that strays pretty far away from the ultra-techy look exhibited not so much from Subaru’s products, but from Toyota’s hybrids such as the Prius Prime and Mirai. These fall much closer in exterior styling to the RAV4, but have undoubtedly seen some of their panels tweaked to reduce drag for better range.
That’s not a huge difference – both of these use the same lithium-ion battery pack making 71.4kWh in FWD models, and 72.8 kWh in AWD models – but in the burgeoning world of EVs, range is still paramount. Subaru has been busy redesigning the AWD system that both of these models are going to use to provide better on-demand torque when you hit the throttle and user-selectable power regeneration modes.
