The Subaru Solterra, the brand’s first all-electric vehicle, has been awarded with a coveted Which? Best Buy accolade in the medium/large SUV category.

During the recently published review, Which? praised the Subaru Solterra for its assured handling and grippy all-wheel drive system, along with efficient power consumption, safety, and equipment levels.

In its review Which? said “The Solterra’s design, inside and out, marks it out as something special. It is unusually comfortable and efficient, as well as very practical for families, and the secure all-wheel drive and excellent safety credentials means you can drive with peace of mind.”

Brand reliability also scored highly as part of the testing. Overall Subaru scored four out of five stars for the reliability of vehicles aged 0-4 years. This crowns Subaru as the most reliable car brand assessed in this 0-4 years category.

All reviews conducted by Which?, and the Best Buy endorsements, are based on rigorous independent laboratory tests, which measure and assess each of the most important aspects of usability and performance.
