Test drive: 2022 Subaru BRZ
The 2022 Subaru BRZ is the odd-car out in the brand's lineup, says Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu.

Subaru has unveiled the electric 2023 Solterra SUV that will go on sale next year, which is the brand's version of the Toyota bZ4X and set to be built alongside it at Toyota's ZEV Factory in Japan.
The two automakers have previously teamed up on a Subaru-built sports car sold under the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 names.

The Solterra will come standard with a 215 hp all-wheel-drive system in the U.S. and an estimated range of 220 miles per charge, which can be replenished to 80% in less than an hour at a public fast charging station.

The compact SUV has 8.3 inches of ground clearance – which is more than many compact SUVs but less than other Subarus – and a traction management system programmed with an X-Mode optimized for off-pavement driving.
