Verdict: The Toyota BZ4X edges out the Solterra on value, offering a $3,000 lower MSRP and a longer EPA range of 252 mi (MotorTrend) while still delivering comparable performance (0‑60 in 6.8 s vs 6.9 s). However, the Solterra’s standard AWD and larger cargo volume (71.9 cu ft vs 66.5 cu ft) make it a stronger choice for drivers needing all‑weather capability (IIHS safety rating). Overall, the BZ4X is the better all‑rounder for most buyers, but the Solterra wins for those prioritizing AWD and interior space.

Winner: Toyota BZ4X

Subaru Solterra: 7/10

Toyota BZ4X: 7.5/10
