Subaru has announced that its first fully electric vehicle (EV) will be named Solterra.
The C-segment SUV, which has been developed as part of a partnership with Toyota, is scheduled to go on sale in Europe by the middle of 2022.
The brand said its new e-Subaru EV platform will underpin various types of EVs following the launch of the Solterra.
Commenting in the results of its Toyota collaboration, the brand said: “While the two companies have brought together their knowledge to create a completely new platform, Subaru have aimed to realize superior passive safety and vehicle stability, which Subaru has always been pursuing, also in this BEV dedicated platform.”
Eight of the 11 dealers appointed by Isuzu UK so far in 2021 have been Mitsubishi franchisees as the brand aims to double its annual pick-up sales amid a series of pick-up segment model withdrawals.
