The exterior also has enticing curb appeal, with black plastic cladding underneath the headlights, accentuating the wheel arches. Overall, this EV exudes a strong presence on the roads of North Adams, MA and beyond.
Trim Levels for Bennington, VT Drivers
The Subaru brand keeps choices easy for potential owners with only three trim levels: the Premium, Limited, and Touring. The Premium has desirable features, like 18-inch alloy wheels, symmetrical all-wheel drive, a driving mode selector, multi-beam LED headlights, heated exterior mirrors, a split-design roof spoiler, a six-way manual driver's seat, and heated front seats.
The Limited adds larger wheels, roof rails, folding exterior mirrors with turn signal integration, heated second-row seats, and metallic silver finish accent trim. Choose the range-topping Touring for features like a gloss black hood ornament, a panoramic fixed glass roof with sunshade, a digital review mirror, ventilated front seats, interior accent lighting, and a retractable cargo area cover.
Performance and Capability
The Solterra has an all-wheel drive system with two electric motors, one powering each axle. The drivetrain generates a combined 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. Manchester, VT drivers can choose from four drive modes: Eco, Normal, Power, and X-mode. The last one is good for slippery conditions or uneven terrain found in off-road conditions; it independently modulates the power distributed to each wheel. It also has a grip control feature that acts as a low-speed cruise control. For those interested in taking the Solterra off-road, it has 8.3 inches of ground clearance, making it a capable vehicle for Saratoga Springs, NY weekend adventures when the battery has enough juice.
The faster battery replenishment time is significant for the Solterra, as the manufacturer now claims it can replenish from 10 to 80 percent in 35 minutes with a suitable DC fast charger. The brand also improved its charging performance in below-freezing conditions.
Tech and Safety
The improved Subaru safety suite includes a new feature that allows drivers to travel at speeds up to 25 mph with minimal supervision. This feature includes stop-and-go traffic. Albany, NY drivers can tap on the turn signal and trust the Solterra to change lanes when safety allows. The 2024 Solterra's augmented safety system includes advanced parking assistance, which helps drivers slide effortlessly into parking spaces. Other safety enhancements include automatic lane-changing capability and an intersection collision detection system.

Financing a New Subaru Solterra
If you're looking to enjoy the Subaru Solterra's capability and efficiency benefits for the long haul, a car loan may be your ideal option. Our friendly and experienced financing team can work with you to find the perfect term length and monthly payment for your needs and budget. While financing may involve higher monthly payments or a longer commitment than leasing, there are several benefits that may make it the more appealing choice.
By financing a new Subaru Solterra, you become the owner and will receive the title after the final installment. As such, you're free to modify it as you see fit, including adding accessories like roof racks, different wheel designs, and bumper stickers without worrying about incurring additional charges. There are no mileage limitations, and you're also free to sell the vehicle at your discretion.
Leasing a New Subaru Solterra
If you're not sure about a long-term commitment or just want the option to easily upgrade in a few years, you might consider leasing the new Solterra. Leasing generally costs less than financing over the same time frame due to lower monthly payments and less tax, potentially opening the door to a higher trim level or additional options packages. And at the end of the lease, you're free to upgrade to the latest model or try something different.
Lundgren Subaru can help you find the lease configuration that best suits your needs based on desired term length, monthly payment, and mileage needs. Since you're not tied to a leased vehicle long-term, it's a great way to get a feel for it before committing to buying. And if you end up loving the Solterra at the end of the lease and want to keep it, it's easy to convert your lease to a loan.
