Engine, Transmission, and Performance
We do not need to doubt the performance of the 2023 Subaru Solterra EV. With its acceleration, this car can reach speeds of 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds. This is a performance that deserves thumbs up. Reporting from Subaru, the 2023 Solterra EV comes in two versions: hybrid and electric. Especially for the hybrid version, a 1.5-liter engine powered by gasoline is a source of power besides an electric motor. The combination of these two power sources makes it the most efficient car in its class.
The 6-speed automatic is the transmission used. The power produced by the hybrid version can also be said to be pretty good. We can take advantage of 215 HP and 248 pound-ft. of torque produced by combining it with several available driving modes. Moreover, we can also choose the standard, ex-mode, power, or eco mode according to driving needs. For example, when you drive on bumpy roads or slippery terrain, just choose ex-mode. By activating the ex-mode, you can get a better level of driving stability through these obstacles because of the modulation of ability for all wheels.
As mentioned briefly above, the AWD system is one of 2023 Subaru Solterra EV’s flagship features. Supported by a wheelbase of 112.2 inches, its traction, and top-notch handling will be loved by many drivers. The 2023 Solterra EV hybrid measures 179.8 inches in total length, 70.1 inches in width, and 62.1 inches in height. For efficiency, fuel economy is increased in the hybrid and electric versions.
2023 Solterra EV Design
You will be spoiled with a fresh design of the 2023 Solterra EV, which is not only pleasing but also futuristic. The design is supported by the installation of LED headlamps, dimming headlamps, heated mirrors, and alloy wheels. Besides the handling improved for driving in bad weather, the fog lamps on the headlamps are also upgraded. This improvement is made, so the driver can be more comfortable driving when the weather is bad or at night.
The interior’s comfort is even more pronounced than in the previous model because it is wider. This SUV is provided with four doors and seats for a maximum of five people. Each of the available seats is loose enough to be comfortably occupied by even adults. The color choices of the 2023 Subaru Solterra EV are similar to the previous model, namely metallic silver, metallic green, crystal black silica, and white glacier pearl.
All features of the 2023 Solterra EV may indeed be enough to make Subaru fans tempted to buy one, but it is still incomplete if the information or entertainment system has not been explained. You certainly do not want to drive long distances in silence without any ‘noise’ or navigation, do you?
Infotainment and Security Features
Therefore, the 2023 model gives an infotainment touch screen in the center of the dashboard with a size of 12.3 inches. You will also still get other customized supporting features, such as Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and wireless charging. Sophisticatedly, now you can control the HVAC system through a smartphone app. The navigation system and stereo are also not spared from the automaker’s improvement.
Subaru continues to take security issues seriously. The right driver-assist technology has been successfully incorporated into the 2023 Subaru Solterra EV. Other safety features like blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian collision warning, and lane departure assist are also standard in all trim levels. To keep the driver-focused while driving, a back traffic alert, a 360-degree camera, and automatic high beam headlamps are also provided.
