With the Subaru, there are four trim levels to choose from, including the Premium, Limited, Touring, and Touring Onyx Edition.Compared with the bZ4X, the Subaru has a slightly higher but palatable price point, with the base Solterra Premium trim beginning at $38,495. The Limited and Touring trims cost $41,995 and $44,995, respectively, while the range-topping Touring Onyx Edition will set you back at least $45,495.No matter the trim level, all Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra buyers will receive a three-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty, whichever comes first. And as for the electric vehicle drive components warranty, both manufacturers cover at least eight years or 100,000 miles.The Toyota bZ4X boasts a bigger screen display than the Subaru SolterraWhen it comes to the interior, the differences between the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra are minimal, with both models sharing a largely identical dashboard layout. However, the Solterra features a square-shaped steering wheel, as opposed to the circular unit found on the Toyota bZ4X. Front seat passengers will also feel the difference in the two compact electric SUVs, as the Subaru Solterra comes standard with heated front seats, while the base bZ4X only offers it as part of the available $500 XLE Weather package, which also bundles a heated steering wheel.The perceived quality of the seating material will differ slightly too, because the Subaru Solterra comes standard with cloth upholstery whereas the Toyota bZ4X boasts combination cloth and synthetic leather upholstery. Another significant difference between the base bZ4X and Solterra trims is the display size. While the Solterra has a standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, the bZ4X offers a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen display. The bZ4X also comes standard with a wireless charging pad, which the base Subaru Premium trim lacks. A 7-inch driver information display is common to both models, though, as is wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system.As you move up to the better-equipped higher trims, both models graduate to offer more of the same amenities, including synthetic leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a surround-view camera system. However, while the Subaru Solterra offers heated rear seats in the Solterra Limited and higher trims, the Toyota bZ4X requires you to opt for the $350 Limited Weather package to enjoy the same.The Subaru Solterra provides more cargo space overall than the Toyota bZ4XIn standard configuration, the Toyota bZ4X's cargo volume is 27.7 cubic feet with all seats in use, which shrinks to 25.8 cubic feet when you opt for the JBL audio system. In both cases, the Toyota bZ4X is ahead of the Subaru Solterra, which has just 23.8 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. However, with the rear seats lowered, the Solterra serves up a whopping 63.5 cubic feet – 6.6 cubic feet more than the Toyota bZ4X, which has 56.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space (55.0 cubic feet when you specify the JBL audio system).In regard to interior space, both compact electric SUVs seat up to five passengers. However, the Subaru Solterra offers slightly more passenger volume at 95.7 cubic feet in Premium and Limited guise, compared with 94.4 cubic feet for every Toyota bZ4X. When you build either the Solterra Touring or Touring Onyx Edition, passenger volume reduces a little to 94.4 cubic feet. The difference in passenger volume is demonstrated in the Solterra's more generous headroom.When the Solterra Premium or Limited is specified, the Subaru offers 38.8 inches of headroom up front and 38.0 inches for occupants in the rear. In Touring and Touring Onyx Edition guise, that reduces to 38.6 inches of front headroom and 37.1 inches of rear headroom. Those numbers are similar to what you get with the Toyota bZ4X, which provides 38.6 inches of front headroom and 37.1 inches of rear headroom regardless of the trim level ordered. The two compact SUVs are also evenly matched in terms of legroom, with both offering 42.1 inches of legroom in the front and 35.3 inches of legroom in the rear.
