    The Subaru Solterra was unveiled by the automotive brand last year. It is built on the Shibuya-based automotive brand’s e-Subaru Global Platform and is equipped with the carmaker’s StarDrive powertrain system allowing the Soterra to achieve an estimated range of 366 kilometers (km). It also comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which means that the Subaru Solterra is as reliable driving on rough terrain as it is capable of cruising on paved roads.
