The Subaru Solterra is the company's flagship electric vehicle and has several features. The Solterra's production follows numerous EV releases from several automakers as efforts to dominate the market as it continues to surge. The EV market is highly competitive, with many automakers striving to outdo one another. In a market laden with electric models like the Volkswagen ID.4, Kia Niro EV, or Ford Mach-E, the Solterra affirms Subaru's efforts to remain relevant in the market.
The Solterra is an electric crossover built in conjunction with the popular automaker Toyota, and it's not surprising that the Solterra shares several similar body styles and interior designs with the BZ4X, Toyota's pioneer EV.

While the Solterra is the automaker's first attempt at making an EV, more electric models from Subaru are expected as the buzz about EVs grows.
