Subaru Solterra vs. the Competition

Cityside Subaru Compares the Subaru Solterra vs. the Competition

The Subaru Solterra is here, and our team is excited to introduce the pure electric crossover SUV to drivers around Belmont and Boston, MA. You may have heard of the Solterra's close competitor, the Toyota bZ4X. Because both vehicles were co-designed by the Subaru and Toyota teams, the vehicles appear to be identical at first glance. So, how do you choose between such similar vehicles? At Cityside Subaru, our experts take a deep dive into the similarities and differences to help break out the Solterra as the top-of-the-line premium pure electric SUV to meet your needs.

Prioritizing Performance: How the Solterra Eeks Out More Power

The Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X are nearly identical in body style, size, and passenger dimensions. Where the Solterra stands out is how they tuned the engine. Every Subaru comes standard with all-wheel drive and a higher ride height, unlike the Toyota bZ4X, which also has a front-wheel drive option. Ensuring every driver has the confidence that comes with all-wheel drive means you'll experience better traction, handling, and safety even during inclement New England weather in the Subaru. The engine in the Subaru is tuned for better performance, so even though it is essentially the same engine as the Toyota, the Subaru creates more horsepower without sacrificing the impressive range of up to 222 miles.

The Power of Choice: Comparing Trim Levels

The other major difference between the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X is pricing. While the Toyota may have a lower starting price, it squeezes all the available options into two trim levels. The Subaru Solterra comes in three model options to allow you more choices and help you balance your budget with the features you love most.
