The name Solterra was created using the Latin words for “Sun” and “Earth” to represent Subaru’s commitment to delivering traditional SUV capabilities in an environmentally responsible package.
Adventurous and Versatile
Solterra comes standard with a new Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that now channels smooth linear output from Subaru StarDrive Technology, providing outstanding traction and capability in all kinds of weather and terrain. Subaru StarDrive delivers substantial on-demand torque at all speeds with power and driver-selectable regenerative modes. Like other Subaru SUVs, the Solterra is equipped with X-MODE offering increased performance in low-friction and off-road conditions.
The all-new Solterra features Grip Control that incorporates hill ascent and descent assist. With 8.3-inches of ground clearance, 215 horsepower, and 248-lb-ft of torque, the all-new model provides versatility in both off-road and city driving. With up to 126 cubic feet of passenger and cargo space, generous legroom, and a nearly flat floor, the 5-passenger SUV gives occupants the airy, open feel of a much larger vehicle.
The Solterra offers up to 30 cubic feet of useable cargo space behind the rear seats and features a 60/40 folding seatback and two-position load floor for maximum cargo and passenger flexibility. The wide rear gate opening with low lift-over height allows easy loading and unloading. Available raised roof rails add more cargo-carrying options for owners’ adventures.
Safety Technology
With safety as a top priority, Solterra comes with a suite of standard driver-assist technology including automatic pre-collision braking; automatic pre-collision throttle management; and lane departure warning. Also standard is Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. New for Subaru, the Solterra is equipped with standard Safety Assist. The new safety feature notifies occupants, before exiting the vehicle, of obstacles and pedestrians with an audible and visual warning. For the first time in a Subaru, an optional 360-Degree Surround-View Camera system allows for better all-around situational awareness.
Unique to Solterra is the new e-SUBARU Global Platform that has been engineered to bring together Subaru’s all-wheel-drive capability, superior driving dynamics, and world-leading passive safety. Standard Multi-element LED Headlights include High Beam Assist, encouraging drivers to maximize the use of high beams without the worry of impairing oncoming traffic. Parking Support Brake can apply the vehicle’s brakes if an obstacle is detected while reversing.
Eco-Friendly Made Easy
Solterra’s high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack provides plenty of daily range, with the ability to quickly charge just about anywhere with its Level 2 AC and DC fast charging capability. With DC fast charging, Solterra is capable of charging up to 80 per cent of total battery capacity in under an hour. With an estimated range of more than 220 miles with standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, the option of convenient home charging, and access to a national network of charging stations, Solterra owners can explore the open and back roads with confidence.
Advanced Comfort and Convenience
The Solterra is equipped with an all-new multimedia system with an available 12.3-in touchscreen. The new system comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and available wireless charging phone dock in the centre console. Smartphone connectivity including remote climate control and remote lock/unlocking, both contribute to a more convenient and connected drive. The remote climate control system can automatically warm-up or cool down the vehicle before departure, even when garaged.
