In 2021, Subaru decided to enter the market of electric cars — on the basis of the first serial electric crossover Toyota bZ4X, an electric car was developed under the brand name Subaru — Solterra. As part of the «elk test» the car must change sharply — like meeting a real animal — into the nearest lane without touching a single cone, remaining within the corridor, and then returning to your lane.
In the hands of journalists was an electric car with a 218-horsepower twin-engine power plant, which is capable of providing all-wheel drive models. At the reference speed of 77 km/h, the test failed, the newspaper notes.
In the best race, the expert managed to stay within the corridor of cones only at a speed of 73 km/h. However, this is not a cause for disappointment.
