Inovev forecasts 20,000 units per year of the Subaru Solterra
- Subaru unveiled its first 100% electric model, the Solterra SUV, derived from the Toyota BZ4X presented a few weeks earlier. The agreement between the two carmakers on the sharing of electric vehicles is thus concretized today with the launch of these two models. With Toyota announcing seven new all-electric vehicles under the name BZ ("Beyond Zero") by 2025, it is possible that Subaru will follow suit and successively launch its own versions of these seven models.
- For Subaru, the entry into the electric market will allow it to relaunch its sales at a time when this brand is losing influence around the world (its production decreased from 1.1 million units in 2017 to 750,000 in 2021) and at a time when each carmaker must be able to rethink its range to meet the environmental constraints imposed by the European Commission, but also by other political bodies around the world (China, California, etc.)
- The Solterra, which globally takes over the body and platform of the Toyota BZ4X, measures 4.69 m long and 1.86 m wide. Available in traction, it has a 204 hp electric motor, while the four-wheel drive version (studied in collaboration with Toyota) has a 217 hp electric motor. The battery offers a capacity of 71.5 kWh allowing a range of between 460 km (4WD) and 500 km (FWD). These characteristics are identical to those of the Toyota BZ4X.
- Sales targets for the Subaru Solterra are unknown, but Inovev expects 10,000 sales per year at the start of their career and then 20,000 sales per year in the middle of their career.
