Subaru Solterra

Designed around you

Preserving life is in our nature. Every car is designed to provide the best protection for you and your family, as you embrace an outdoor life of adventure. We are also equally committed to protecting the environment with responsible and sustainable manufacturing.

Take the Subaru Solterra, for example. Combining the Latin for ‘sun’ and ‘earth’, our new all-electric SUV offers outstanding performance, together with an advanced safety package fitted as standard. Giving you the all- round capability, comfort and confidence to go anywhere.

As part of Subaru's commitment to sustainability, the garden will be given a second life after the festival with plans to repurpose it to Horatio's Garden charity, ensuring the installation continues to inspire and provide a place to nurture the wellbeing of people beyond the event.
