I imagine the FWD Solterra is only going to be Japanese option? I can't see them selling it in north america.

According to Subaru, here is what they claim the Solterra's range will be. It should be noted that this is based on WLTC (Japan standard) ratings. Both models come with a 71.4 kWh battery.

Solterra FWD - 530 km / 329 miles
Solterra AWD - 460 km / 286 miles

Assuming it ends up being similar to EPA ratings, is that enough range for you?

Curious to see that the bz4x, at least in Japan, will have X-Mode and it's actually called X-mode...
Also, noticed in the various videos that the Solterra is equipped with a multi level "grip" for the X-mode.

Alex on Autos has a video on Youtube also... he mentions it has a single camera system for the Eyesight, which is a lot like the Toyota TSS 3.0 which uses a single camera with millimeter wave radar.
