Much like the closely related Toyota bZ (the two cars are essentially identical under the skin), the Subaru Solterra disappointed in its original form - in spite of having sweet handling and genuinely impressive off-road ability, it was just too short-ranged in real-world driving. Hopefully, as with the Toyota, a massive round of updates, including styling changes and a boost of 50km to the WLTP range figure, will make the Solterra more competitive, and a more useable day-to-day car.
