2023 Subaru Solterra Review: Better As a Subaru Than As a Toyota

The Subaru Solterra electric SUV is the near-twin of the Toyota BZ4X. For a few reasons, what doesn’t work for Toyota works for Subaru, and that’s a good thing for Subaru.

There’s two key ways to tell the Subaru from the Toyota as it comes toward you in traffic. Though Solterra wears the same amount of plastic cladding on its exterior as BZ4X, the front, where Toyota features its emblem on the top of the fascia near the hood clasp, features a Subaru emblem in the center of the blocked out grille area.

The Subaru also comes with standard fog lights and LED headlights. Automatic high beams come on all Solterras.
