Subaru has released the first video of its first EV, the 4x4 Solterra crossover, essentially confirming that it’s a slightly tweaked version of Toyota’s upcoming bZ4X EV, according to Autoblog. Both electric cars are the fruit of Toyota and Subaru’s collaboration on the e-TNGA platform designed for multiple EVs, which was first announced in 2019.

The design cues seen in the teaser video, particularly the odd dual roof spoiler, are similar to those on Toyota's upcoming bZ4X (the "bZ" stands for "beyond zero"). The side profile in a longer shot also looks identical, making us wonder why Subaru doesn't just reveal it in full and be done with it.
It also showed a faint glimpse of the interior, with the centerpiece being a giant screen mounted in the middle. Again, this looks very similar to what Toyota showed us with its own EV crossover, although Autoblog pointed out that the Subaru appears to have some extra features under the rotary knob. Another notable difference is the Subaru’s bolstered seats that could allow for sportier 4×4 activities.

Other key details, such as price and battery capacity, have yet to be announced. However, the price could range from $30,000 to $40,000. Like Toyota's car , it 's set to arrive in the US and other markets next summer.
