2024 Subaru Solterra Touring Release, Interior – The 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring made its inaugural appearance on the global stage just last week, and now we have further particulars regarding the U.S. variant of this all-electric SUV as it premieres at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Solterra will signify a series of premieres for Subaru: Aside from being the brand’s inaugural fully electric vehicle, the SUV will be equipped with fresh safety features like an optional 360-degree camera system. Similar to its lineup counterparts, the Solterra also pledges to deliver modest off-road capability with standard all-wheel drive and ample ground clearance.
Features
Following the precedent set by Subaru’s existing SUVs, the 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring boasts standard AWD and utilizes Subaru’s on-demand torque technology, offering selectable regenerative modes for drivers. Access to the Solterra’s multimedia system is facilitated by an available 12.3-inch touchscreen, which comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless charging functionality.
Notably, this EV becomes the first Subaru model to incorporate a 360-degree surround-view camera, and it also features Subaru’s novel Safety Exit Alert system as a standard offering. This system provides passengers with visual and auditory alerts, cautioning them about potential obstacles before they exit the vehicle.
Exterior and Interior
In stark contrast to the origami-inspired outer design, the interior of the 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring adopts a minimalistic approach while prioritizing technology, showcasing a sizable, upright touchscreen display and digital instrument panels mounted on the top.
According to Subaru, the cargo and passenger areas have been maximized through the utilization of a level floor, foldable rear seats, and a broad liftgate opening, which should facilitate the loading of equipment. Additionally, there will be an option for a panoramic glass roof, along with elevated roof rails.
Developed collaboratively by Subaru and Toyota, the Solterra shares the new e-Subaru Global Platform and incorporates various styling elements with its sibling, the Toyota bZ4X. The 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring presents a prominently angular exterior design with distinct creases, featuring a low hood and slim A-pillars strategically positioned to optimize forward visibility.
The front fascia showcases a hexagonal grille motif, encompassed by the vehicle’s slender LED headlights equipped with standard high-beam assist. The vehicle’s profile displays concise front and rear overhangs, as well as a steeply sloped roof, while the substantial wheel arch moldings serve as an indication of its off-road capabilities.
Specification
Propelled by a lithium-ion battery pack and paired dual motors, the 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring generates 215 horsepower and 248 pounds-feet of torque. It provides Level 2 alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) rapid charging capability, offering an estimated range exceeding 220 miles on a complete charge, as projected by Subaru.
Although this 220-mile range stands as a strong contender among the selection of electric vehicles (EVs) boasting the lengthiest range, the 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring falls slightly short in comparison to its direct rivals. For instance, the Volkswagen ID.4 achieves an estimated range of 260 miles for rear-wheel drive variants and up to 249 miles for all-wheel drive models, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E attains up to 305 miles in rear-wheel drive and 270 miles in all-wheel drive configuration.
2024 Subaru Solterra Touring Release Date and Price
The anticipated arrival of the 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring in the United States is scheduled for summer 2022, accompanied by a starting price of $46,000 (all prices include destination charges but exclude any tax credits).
