Following on the debut of the Japanese-spec version of the Subaru Solterra electric crossover last week, we are now getting US-market details about Subie's first EV. It goes on sale in 2022 as a 2023 model year product. Pricing for the EV isn't yet available.

Like in Japan, the Solterra uses a 107-horsepower (80-kilowatt) motor to power each axle for a total combined output of 215 hp (160 kW) and 248 pound-feet (336 Newton-meters) of torque. A 71.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack powers the system. For the US, this provides an estimated range of over 220 miles (354 kilometers) of range on a charge.

The all-wheel-drive system has a version of X-Mode from other Subaru models. The tech simulates a low-range transfer case and slows throttle response to increase the vehicle's ability in handling low-friction and off-road conditions. The Solterra also has ascent and descent assist.

The table below shows all of the major dimensions for the 2023 Solterra in the US.
