When it goes on sale this summer, the 2023 Solterra, Subaru's first electric vehicle, will start at $46,220 and top out at more than $53,000.

U.S. light-vehicle sales, hampered by lean stockpiles and chronic parts shortages, declined by double-digits in June, capping a weaker second quarter and first half. The SAAR tallied 13.22 million last month, the second lowest pace of the year. Lights trucks drove Ford to a 1.8 percent gain in the second quarter and a 32 percent June surge, ending a streak of monthly declines at the Ford brand and Lincoln.
