Subaru e-Outback

Solterra SUV is lengthened and straightened to create electric off-road estate The Subaru E-Outback presents a philosophical question: when does an estate become an SUV?The E-Outback is based on the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X twins. Indeed, it will get its own Toyota twin in the form of the bZ4X Touring. The bZ4X and Solterra feel like SUVs, or crossovers if you will, because they’re taller and chunkier than a traditional hatchback; but add 155mm to the length and straighten out the roofline and suddenly it looks like a lifted estate and is marketed as such.This is probably just one of those things only car nerds think about. To everyone else, the E-Outback is simply an EV with 633 litres of boot space. Call it what you want – that’s a lot of dog-carrying potential (the Skoda Enyaq offers 585 litres).
