New 2022 Subaru Solterra revealed in Japan – brand’s first EV

subaru has unveiled a new electric model, the Solterra 2022 crossover. The car is similar to the Toyota bZ4X , both built on the e-TNGA platform, which is a joint development of the two manufacturers. Japanese crossovers are almost mirror images of each other – the similarities are present both in the exterior and in the interior of the new products.
