The 2024 Subaru Solterra and Its Eco-Friendly Features

The 2024 Subaru Solterra is an innovative, all-electric vehicle that can take owners wherever they’ve always gone in their Subaru. This unique SUV has many eco-friendly features beyond its dual motors, and it makes a great EV for drivers in the Bay Area. We’re excited about this Subaru electric SUV and can’t wait to show you all of its features.

StarDrive

StarDrive is the drivetrain system used in the Solterra, which comes with a 72.8 kWh battery. This drivetrain pairs with the e-Subaru global platform to create a unique vehicle. This innovative system delivers up to 227 miles on a single charge, can haul various outdoor gear, and still brings adventures closer than ever, but with a greener outcome.

Fast DC Charging

Charging is a frequent source of anxiety among new electric vehicle users. The Solterra handles that by charging from 10% to 80% in as little as 35 minutes: less time than a trip through the grocery store or a family break in the park. This fast charging capability ensures the Solterra is ready for adventure at any time while maintaining its eco-friendly design.

Cold Weather Optimization

Subaru also upgraded the charging system to work twice as efficiently at freezing and four times as efficiently at 14 degrees. The updated system ensures that fast charging is available under even daunting conditions. With more time, there are options for outdoor winter activities, from the slopes to beautiful mountain drives.

Symmetrical AWD

Symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) ensures the Solterra has maximum traction at all times, which is critical for exploring the outdoors. The symmetrical AWD maximizes efficiency and can optimize power distribution to ensure all power is used optimally. This eco-friendly feature also helps this vehicle perform similarly to traditional Subaru models.

Enhanced Safety Systems

Subaru also includes driver safety systems like driver assist and distraction mitigation. These systems keep drivers safer and optimize the car’s performance. This year, Subaru also added traffic jam assist, which provides hands-free driving at low speeds in stop-and-go traffic for a smoother experience that helps keep this car eco-friendly.

Low Cost of Ownership

The 2024 Solterra is predicted to have a low cost of ownership compared to similar vehicles, which means less maintenance to manage. This eco-friendly feature ensures Solterra owners can spend more time planning their next adventure and less time trying to find a way to deal with complex maintenance problems.

The new Subaru Solterra is the first EV of its kind and is an adventurous Subaru that’s ready to hit the road in San Jose, CA. Drop by Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara, CA, to see this electric SUV in person and compare the available options for the new Solterra.
