Subaru Solterra In the Flesh

We’ve already covered the Subaru Solterra EV, so I don’t have much to add.

Instead, you can enjoy two poorly-lit pics from the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Auto-show lighting sucks, but the Solterra does look decent up close. Not head-turning, but more cohesive than I thought based on press photos.

Two key numbers to remember — the car has 8.3 inches of ground clearance and an estimated range of at least 220 miles.

If I can add interior photos over the next day or two, I will.

And no, the car isn’t floating. Blame a video display and bad lighting.

That’s about it from L.A. for today. Expect us to check in tomorrow or Friday with news about VinFast and … Barbie? Yes, Barbie. What a world we live in.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
