It’s official: The 2024 Subaru Solterra release date has arrived! The new model year brings incredible enhancements to this all-electric SUV, like faster charging, interior redesign, and all-new driver assistance systems – all without an increase in price from the previous model year.
Let’s take a look at the exciting features and performance capabilities this electrified five-passenger sport-ute has to offer so you’ll be fully prepared for your upcoming test drive at our Subaru dealer near Louisville, KY.
Beneath the Subaru SUV’s futuristic hood, dual electric StarDrive motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack join forces to produce 215 horsepower and achieve a maximum EPA-estimated 114/94/104 MPGe (City/Highway/Combined)1 in its base trim.
If the recent 2024 Subaru Solterra release date has you dreaming of off-road plans, you can easily blaze through muddy trails with the Subaru EV’s optimal power distribution and its maximized traction. Hit the highway with 249 pound-feet of torque, and battle through winter snowstorms with standard Dual-Function X-MODE drive modes like Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud.
Subaru vehicles are known for their rugged performance, and the 2024 Subaru Solterra is no exception. The new Subaru EV comes standard with the automaker’s superb Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, providing outstanding traction in various weather and road conditions. Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control systems optimize the Solterra SUV’s traction, and standard Active Cornering Assist and Vehicle Stability Control enhance the vehicle’s stability and handling.
Not only can this rugged new Subaru for sale traverse trails, but its electric motors allow you to go the extra mile on the street and highways. The new Solterra SUV generates an EPA-estimated range of up to 227 miles,2 and the redesigned steering wheel adds to the powertrain’s efficiency by using regenerative braking force paddle switches to preserve the SUV’s range.
Improved battery conditioning gives the SUV faster charging than ever, meaning the Subaru Solterra can now recharge from 10% to 80% battery power in only 35 minutes.3 This upgraded battery system also allows the SUV to charge significantly faster in cold weather than the 2023 model, so even the worst Midwest winters shouldn’t affect your charge time.
You’ll have two ways to charge once you drive home in your new Subaru Solterra. A Level 1 charger will be included with your vehicle purchase and pairs with any standard 120-volt outlet. All you need to do is plug in your vehicle before bed, then wake up to a fully charged battery in the morning.
If you’re looking for a faster way to charge your electric SUV, you can have a Level 2 system installed in your garage. Level 2 charging sends 240 volts to your vehicle’s battery for faster charge times than Level 1. Reach out to the Quantrell Subaru sales team to learn more about electric vehicles and charging times.
When the 2024 Subaru Solterra release date arrived and the three gorgeous trims of this SUV were announced, we couldn’t wait to climb inside the cabin and explore its interior. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll find inside each trim when you visit for your test drive:
This exciting Subaru electric SUV is also equipped with new driver assistance technologies that are part of Subaru EyeSight. The Subaru EyeSight suite comes standard and adds Hands-Free Driving capabilities. Other features include Active Lane Change Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitors, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing and Road Sign Assist.
If you’re interested in packing up and hitting the road in this new model, you’ll be happy to find that the expansive trunk of the new Subaru Solterra for sale provides 23.8 cubic feet of standard storage, 63.5 cubic feet of max cargo room, and a 41.3-inch rear cargo opening to make loading and unloading your gear that much easier.
This electric SUV boldly paves the way off-road as an EV designed for adventure on any terrain. Along with its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-MODE drive modes, you can put the Subaru SUV’s ground clearance to work to conquer any trail. As one of the first EVs designed to head off-road, the Subaru Solterra offers an incredible 8.3 inches of ground clearance.
If you’re wondering how these 8.3 inches of elevation compare to the competition, let’s take a look:
To complement its impressive ground clearance, the 2024 Subaru Solterra was also designed with shortened front and rear overhangs. Thanks to this design, the SUV can achieve optimal approach and departure angles and conquer more terrain conditions than you may have ever expected from an EV, making the Subaru Solterra an optimal choice for confident, zero-emissions adventuring.
Many of our customers are also curious about all-electric trailering. After all, one of the most popular benefits of driving an AWD Subaru SUV is the ability to tow confidently. However, the Subaru brand has not yet released official details about the 2024 Subaru Solterra towing capacity at the time of this writing.
As if the stellar electric range specs, off-road capabilities, and interior features of the Subaru Solterra weren’t enough, this all-electric SUV also comes with extra perks. According to the brand, purchasing a new Solterra may qualify you for the Subaru Just Drive Rental program at participating retailers, giving you up to 10 days of complimentary gas-powered loaner car usage at the time of this writing. You can also talk with our sales team to verify eligibility for the Federal Tax Credit incentive of up to $7,500.4

The 2024 Subaru Solterra range varies slightly by trim. The entry-level Premium trim offers the highest electric range, with an EPA-estimated 227 all-electric miles2 and a wildly impressive EPA-estimated 114/94/104 MPGe (City/Highway/Combined).1 The mid-level Limited and top-tier Touring trims deliver an EPA-estimated 222 miles2 of electric range and 111/93/102 MPGe (City/Highway/Combined).1
The 2024 Subaru Solterra is the brand’s first all-electric SUV and represents the automaker’s first step toward building a new electric lineup. The Solterra name is a combination of the Latin words “sol” (meaning sun) and “terra” (meaning earth). The new Subaru Solterra combines dual electric motor power with next-generation technology to deliver quality road and trail performance.
A 2024 Subaru Solterra Premium trim can travel up to an EPA-estimated 227 miles2 on a full charge, and Limited and Touring trims can take you an EPA-estimated 222 miles2 before needing to recharge. This range can give you the mileage to commute to work all week or to take longer weekend road trips. Visit our Subaru dealership today to take your favorite trim for a test drive.
While both SUVs are compact models, the 2024 Subaru Solterra has a slightly longer wheelbase and length than the Forester; however, the Subaru Forester boasts more passenger volume, cargo space, and overall headroom within the interior. Now that the 2024 Subaru Solterra release date has arrived, come tour the Subaru EV at our showroom and explore its dimensions in person.
