Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video:- The Subaru Solterra is Subaru’s first electric car.
- Toyota played a big part in its existence, as Toyota and Subaru share resources to develop electric car platforms.
- It is a 50/50 collaboration with driving dynamics and chassis done by Subaru, and the battery and electric motors taken care of by Toyota.
- The two cars, Subaru Solterra and Toyota BZ4X, are very similar.
- Design differences include the badge on the nose of the car and a slightly different front end. Also, the Toyota gets a full-width light bar in the back.
- The interior of the Subaru and Toyota are very similar, except for the badge on the steering wheel.
- Both cars have the same driving position, layout, and materials inside.
- Both cars have a driver display above the steering wheel. This driving position will not be perfect for everyone.
- Both cars have the same 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which features nice graphics. Wireless Apple CarPlay is included, and wired Android Auto.
- The cloth on the dashboard helps to lift things a bit, but some plastics, like those on the center console, just feel a bit hollow and cheap and scratchy, according to the review.
- No glove box.
- You get a lot of storage space up front.
- The rear seats do not slide, but are spacious.
- WLTP range for the entry-level model is 289 miles. Maximum charging speed is 150 kilowatts, which gives you a 20 to 80% charge in 19 minutes.
- Starting price is £49,995, or £52,995. The Toyota BZ4X starts around £42,000.
- The Subaru Solterra has equipment as standard, including heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, and heated windshield wipers.
