I might be late to the game on this but did anyone else know they were developed together and that they’re pretty much identical cars? I went to the LA Auto Show this past weekend and after finding out, I compared them back to back and they are indeed the exact same car (except for the front end, mainly the “grill” and headlights). Plus the Subaru comes standard with AWD. But even the interior design is the same.

The Subaru Solterra doesn’t even get its own Wikipedia entry, it’s just a sub-heading of the Toyota bZ4X page.
The Toyota bZ4X, also marketed in Japan, US, Canada, Europe, and China as the Subaru Solterra, is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by Toyota.
Yes, this is known well around these forums. Similarly, they are hated on these forums because they don’t come anywhere near their advertised charging rate and are one of the slowest charging EVs out there.
Combined with the car-may-catch-fire recall, and people don’t like them here.
There are a handful of users here who have them and love them. I do not have one, but have considered, as Subaru in particular is pushing them off the lots at a significantly below MSRP price point, whereas Kias and Ioniqs have the worst dealership experience imaginable for me so far.
But no first hand opinion. Just hopefully this contextualizes your thoughts.
toss this on that heap as well…
If you want a laptop on wheels with poor quality but good range get a Tesla.
If range is not a concern and you want a quality comfortable vehicle get Bz4x or Solterra
