The newly upgraded 2024 Subaru Solterra is now available for battery-electric SUV shoppers. Before visiting a Subaru retailer, customers can use the new online configurator to see which trim is best for them.
Which of the three new trim levels is the best for you?
The recently launched 2024 Solterra EV configurator tool allows users to check the different trim levels with standard features, color selection, and images for each model. Before building your model online, you should be aware of the new upgrades for the 2024 model change.
What New?
1. Solterra Has Improved Charging Performance
Subaru significantly improves the 2024 Solterra's charging performance. Solterra now has a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that charges from 10 percent to 80 percent as quickly as 35 minutes, with a state of charge indicator displaying the estimated time to 80 percent or 100 percent.
What Does Subaru Say?
"Thanks to an upgraded battery conditioning system, the 2024 Solterra can charge at temperatures below freezing significantly faster than its predecessor, up to 80 minutes faster in certain conditions. With thousands of accessible public charging stations and D.C. fast charging, charging the Solterra away from home is now quicker and easier. At home, the Solterra offers affordable Level 1 or Level 2 charging compatibility.”
2. A Redesigned Steering Wheel
The second upgrade is the Solterra's newly redesigned steering wheel with regenerative braking force paddle switches. Subaru says it improves charging performance thanks to more efficient battery conditioning.
3. New EyeSight Capability
Subaru's EyeSight just improved—the 2024 Solterra debuts EyeSight with advanced driver-assistance features. The Solterra is the only Subaru model with improved EyeSight safety technology.
New for 2024, Subaru says the Solterra can travel in its lane at speeds up to 25 mph with only driver supervision, including stop-and-go traffic. With the improved safety tech, Solterra can also change lanes on command by activating a turn signal, and the addition of Front Cross Traffic Alert makes pulling into an intersection safer by alerting the driver of potential collisions.
