2021: Electric Vehicle Announcement
On Thursday, November 11, 2021, the Japanese company Subaru introduced its first fully electric SUV Solterra, developed in conjunction with Toyota.
The platform, developed jointly with Toyota, is designed for battery electric vehicles. The model will be sold in the USA, Canada, Europe, China and Japan by mid-2022.
 | The electric car market is not yet ripe, so we will respond to it, deepening our cooperation with Toyota |  |
According to him, Solterra will be manufactured by Toyota in Japan. However, Subaru is considering moving production to its main market, the United States, if enough sales are achieved.
According to Subaru, the front-wheel drive Solterra has a range of 530 km (329 miles) with one 150 kW electric motor, and the all-wheel drive version, equipped with two 80 kW electric motors on each of the axes, can travel 460 km without recharging, Subaru said.
The dimensions of the crossover are: length - 4690 mm, width - 1860 mm, height - 1650 mm, suspension - 210 mm with a total weight of 2295 kg. Electrics are made according to the classic scheme: the main battery under the floor, motor modules can be located both on the front axle and on both in the all-wheel drive version.
The traction battery with a capacity of 71.4 kVt‧ch has an operating voltage of 355 V, supporting charging from the AC network using a device with a power of 6.6 kW, or from the DC network using a device with a power of 150 kW. In an alliance with Toyota, it was Subaru specialists who were responsible for configuring the all-wheel drive system, so Solterra has no less developed capabilities in this area than Toyota.
Solterra will also have a panoramic glass roof, which can be replaced by a solar panel that helps fuel onboard equipment during parking and slightly charge the traction battery.
The manufacturer separately emphasizes that when testing passive safety, special attention was paid to the protection of high-voltage equipment.[1]
