Meet the 2024 Subaru Solterra All-Electric SUV

Midsize electric SUVs are popular for several reasons. They're compact and economical enough to work well for your daily commute or for running errands around Decatur, GA. They also have enough interior space and infotainment technology to be great road companions on longer trips. The 2024 Subaru Solterra ticks all these boxes and adds Subaru's trademark all-wheel-drive technology, making it a competent off-roader if you like hitting the trails. Read as our Stivers Subaru team shares what you need to know about this impressive all-electric SUV. 

Impressive Range and Power

The 2024 Subaru Solterra's electric powertrain offers plenty of range and horsepower. The two electric motors combine for a total output of 215 hp and 249 lb-ft of torque. They connect to a 72.8 kWh battery pack that gives the Solterra a 227-mile electric range. Depending on your driving routine, you may go for a whole week before needing to recharge. If you need to travel long distances, you can use a DC fast charger and get the battery from 10% to 80% in a little over half an hour.

Excellent Features in Any Trim

The 2024 Solterra is available in three trim levels: Premium, Limited, and Touring. They all use the same electric powertrain but come with different features. Some essential amenities from each trim are as follows:

• Premium: Although it's the base trim, it comes with a long list of useful amenities, including 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats, a windshield wiper de-icer, roof rails, cloth upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, plus many infotainment and safety features.
• Limited: This trim upgrades a few features while also adding new ones. These include larger 20-inch alloy wheels, power-folding mirrors, a power liftgate, a roof spoiler, LED fog lights, synthetic leather upholstery, and power-adjustable front seats.
• Touring: The 2024 Solterra's top trim has all the desirable features of the previous two trims and some of its own. It adds ventilated front seats, a digital rearview mirror with a camera to show what's behind the vehicle even with a fully loaded cargo area, elegant interior ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof offering spectacular views.

Great Infotainment Features

The 2024 Subaru Solterra offers many features that help you and your passengers get helpful information and stay entertained while on the move. The standard version comes with an 8-inch touch-screen interface with integrated cloud-based navigation. You can also connect your smartphone wirelessly through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The six-speaker sound system does an excellent job, and you can control and monitor some of the car's features via a smartphone app.

Higher trims improve the infotainment features. The touch-screen interface for the top two trims is 12.3 inches wide, and the audio system upgrades to a premium 11-speaker Harman Kardon. There's also a wireless smartphone charging pad available.

A Welcoming and Comfortable Interior

Any quality SUV prioritizes interior comfort, and the 2024 Solterra is no different. Its soft seats offer enough support to stay comfortable during tight corners, while the suspension system maintains a smooth ride even on bumpy roads. There's also enough space inside for all passengers, with plenty of headroom for taller ones. The large doors make it easy to get in and out, and outward visibility is excellent due to the window size and cabin design. 

The well-insulated cabin keeps exterior wind and road noises out, even at higher speeds. Finding your ideal temperature is easy with the effective climate control system and the ventilated and heated seats. The touch-screen interface is sharp and makes accessing the car's functions convenient. There are also physical buttons for some of the controls, which can be easier and safer while driving, as you don't have to take your eyes off the road.

Many Useful Driver-Assistance Features

The 2024 Subaru Solterra has the following useful active safety systems to help you avoid unfortunate road situations:

• Adaptive cruise control: This feature helps you maintain a set speed on the highway. It also adjusts your speed based on the movements of the car in front.
• Forward collision mitigation: It detects and alerts you to potential frontal collisions so you have enough time to react. It can also brake to limit the impact's severity if it senses you're not responding in time.
• Lane-keeping assistance: This system constantly makes small steering adjustments to keep the Solterra in the center of its lane.
• Blind-spot warning: It alerts you when another vehicle enters your blind spot while you're changing lanes.
• Low-speed hands-free driving: This technology uses adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance to drive on its own at speeds below 25 mph.
• Front cross-traffic alert: It scans intersections and warns you when another vehicle approaches from either side.
• Automatic reverse braking: This system automatically hits the brakes if it senses an imminent collision with an object or vehicle behind the Solterra.
• Emergency steering assistance: It makes the forward collision mitigation system even more effective by temporarily taking over the steering system and steering the vehicle away from danger.
• Rear cross-traffic warning: This system alerts you if it senses another vehicle approaching from either side while backing up.
• Surround-view camera system: It makes parking in tight spots a breeze by displaying a top-down view of the Solterra and its surroundings on the touch-screen interface.
