Grip Control is an additional X-Mode feature which delivers superior grip to help prevent wheel slipping. This function works to maintain a constant low speed of approximately 2 – 10 km/hr, with increments of 2 km/hr, to prevent slipping when travelling uphill, on flat roads or when traversing rough roads.
The Subaru Solterra boasts a low centre of gravity with the central positioning of the main drive battery, under the floor between the front and rear wheels. This gives Subaru Solterra impressive balance and handling; however this has not been achieved at the cost of its ground clearance5.
The aim of the Subaru Solterra’s design is to distribute the vehicle’s weight as evenly as possible across all four tyres, for the greatest total balance. As a result of the symmetrical drive train design, vehicle grip is maximised, giving the driver optimum control.
Putting the human factor centre stage, Subaru Solterra has been designed for a seamless, comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. Designed from the perspective of the driver, the cockpit layout puts everything within optimal sight and reach. From the smaller, more compact steering wheel, to the top mounted, 7" multi-information digital display. Positioned just below the driver’s line of sight, with a view to the road ahead, the digital display provides instant access to essential vehicle information, while reducing eye movement fatigue.
With its dynamic front end, striking alloy wheels and bold shape, the all-new Subaru Solterra is designed in harmony with the unique Australian landscape. The rugged, yet aerodynamic body, reflects its All-Wheel Drive capability and carefully curated EV performance. The streamlined body controls airflow to help maximise aerodynamic efficiency.

The intuitive and easy-to-use steering wheel switches place the most important and regularly used functions, closest to the driver’s hands.

Using millimetre wave radar this function keeps the vehicle at a constant pre-set distance from the vehicle in front, based on the preceding vehicle’s speed and within your pre-set distance selection.
This system combines millimetre wave radar, with a monocular camera sensor, to help recognise and warn of potentially dangerous situations and to support the driver when required via the Pre-collision Warning (PCW), Pre-collision Brake Assist (PBA), and Pre-collision Braking (PB) functions.
The camera can recognise speed signs and assists the driver by displaying the detected speed limit on the instrument panel, and by also showing a visual warning if the speed limit is exceeded.
Subaru’s Driver Monitoring System – Driver Focus (DMS)6 constantly monitors the driver’s attention to help reduce the chance of accidents due to driver distraction and fatigue. The system uses near infrared LEDs and a camera to recognise when the driver’s attention is waning or if they start to fall asleep. An alert can then warn the driver, reminding them to refocus on the road ahead.
Subaru DMS6 recognises that at times the driver may be distracted, which is why a buzzer alert and visual display will warn the driver if their gaze continues to wander outside a set range.
The DMS6 uses near infrared LEDs and a camera to observe the driver’s eyes and recognise when their attention is waning or if they start to fall to sleep. An alert can warn them and give a gentle reminder to refocus on the road ahead or take a break if necessary.
