The Subaru Stella is a 5-door Kei car produced by Subaru starting in June 2006. The Stella is based on the same architecture as the Subaru R2. It can be considered as a direct replacement of the Subaru Pleo although the Pleo is still currently in production, and is Subaru's re-entry into the market segment dominated by the Suzuki Wagon R and the Daihatsu Move, hoping to recapture market share after the R2's less-than-expected sales performance. The Stella's dimensions are more parking structure-friendly where vehicle stacking is utilized over the Pleo.
The name Stella is Italian for "star", a reference to the Subaru logo.
Electric version
In June 2008, Subaru unveiled an electric concept vehicle combining the Stella platform with the electric drive from the Subaru R1e,[1] which uses TEPCO lithium-ion batteries.[2]
It was showcased at the G8 Summit on July 7, 2008.[2] Fuji announced in June 2009 that it planned to sell 170 units through March 2010, primarily to fleet and government users in Japan, with deliveries beginning in late July.[3]
It was intended to be sold in the European Union starting September 2, 2010,[4] but never was.
New version
Due to the investment of Toyota,[5] the future production status of the Stella is in question as Toyota announced that Subaru kei cars would be replaced in model year 2010,[6] with Toyota already selling a Toyota vehicle rebadged as a Subaru, currently called the Subaru Dex. The second-generation Stella is a rebadged Daihatsu Move, introduced in Japan on May 11, 2011.
