The 2024 Subaru Solterra combines the brand’s well-known outdoor-ready capability with the efficiency of an all-electric powertrain. Aimed at drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing versatility, the Solterra delivers standard all-wheel drive, off-road-ready features, and the practicality Subaru owners expect—all in a modern, battery-powered package.

Electric Powertrain & Performance

Dual electric motors produce 215 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of torque, providing balanced traction and confident acceleration on or off the pavement. With 8.3 inches of ground clearance and Subaru’s X‑MODE with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings, the Solterra handles rough terrain better than most EVs in its class.

Range & Charging

The 72.8 kWh battery pack delivers an EPA-estimated 222–227 miles of range, depending on trim and wheel size. Updates for 2024 improve charging performance, with DC fast charging now able to replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in as little as 35 minutes, significantly faster than before, especially in colder climates.

Trim Levels & Features

The Solterra is offered in three trims: Premium, Limited, and Touring.

  • Premium models include LED headlights, an 8‑inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and durable roof rails.
  • Limited adds a 12.3‑inch touchscreen, Harman Kardon premium audio, wireless phone charging, power-adjustable seats, rain-sensing wipers, a power liftgate, blind-spot monitoring, and a panoramic view monitor.
  • Touring offers ventilated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, LED footwell lighting, a digital rearview mirror, and unique exterior accents.

Interior & Comfort

The cabin’s high-mounted digital gauge cluster and large central touchscreen give the Solterra a clean, modern look. Generous glass area and a flat floor create an open feel for passengers, while the cargo space can easily accommodate luggage, gear, or even eight carry-on suitcases with the rear seats up.

Technology & Safety

Every Solterra comes equipped with Subaru’s updated EyeSight driver-assist suite, offering features like hands-free low-speed driving, automatic lane changes, and front cross-traffic alerts. A driver-monitoring system is also standard, and the Solterra continues Subaru’s strong safety record with top ratings from both the NHTSA and IIHS.

The 2024 Subaru Solterra is a capable and practical entry into the electric SUV market. Its combination of standard all-wheel drive, solid off-road performance, and versatile interior makes it an ideal choice for drivers who want an EV that’s just as comfortable tackling trails as it is commuting in the city.
