Winter can be a tough time for electric vehicles. Will the new Subaru Solterra Limited – jointly developed with Toyota – get to grips with colder conditions? Frederic Manby examines the evidence.
Something for winter? The Solterra is Subaru’s first electric car. This comfy SUV is a joint project with Toyota’s bZ4X. Subaru’s input included the all-wheel-drive system. The marque is renowned for its 4x4 technology. There is permanent drive to all wheels, with an electric motor for each pair. This gives instant grip when needed. A sample drive on a wet grassy slope — a foe of SUVs - proceeded without faltering. There are also traction settings for snow and dirt and for deeper snow and mud.
The dashboard is dominated by the large information and navigation screen. Road speed and battery capacity and consumption are shown in a pod, set high behind and above a small steering wheel. You adjust the wheel and seat height accordingly to see everything. It is not perfect but is an improvement on Peugeot’s more compromised i-cockpit. Passengers in the back have heated seats, a drop-down central armrest with two cup spaces and a phone slot.
