Used 2024 Subaru Solterra for Sale nearBakersfield, CA

How much does the 2024 Subaru Solterra cost?

Prices have softened 6.89% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 449 listings available, which suggests you have some room to compare options.

If you find a listing below $24,662.60, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra a good car?

Yes — 5/5 from owners and 7/10 from experts. The Solterra is positioned as Subaru’s updated first EV, with changes aimed at making it more convincing as an electric vehicle. It is described as stylish and comfortable, and the update adds comfort, convenience, and utility improvements without a price increase at the start of the model year.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

The trade-offs are clear: the expert notes call out unimpressive electric range and underwhelming power. Even so, the Solterra’s updated charging, strong safety credentials, and more polished everyday feel make it a better fit if you want a Subaru-branded EV that emphasizes comfort and usability over outright performance.

33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance to find a competitive offer.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The Solterra’s updated battery charging and refreshed safety tech point to a more mature EV package than before, and the expert notes describe it as a more credible choice for buyers who want a Subaru-branded EV.

The performance notes also suggest a vehicle that behaves predictably in everyday use, with secure handling and a structurally sound feel over rougher pavement. On the ownership side, the cost-effectiveness notes emphasize that home charging overnight can make day-to-day use easier and cheaper than relying on public fast charging.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that weaker range and slower charging can make the car less satisfying if your driving or charging routine depends on frequent road trips.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Subaru Solterra?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing multiple listings. Focus on overall condition, charging behavior, and whether the car has been used in a way that matches your needs, since EV ownership can vary a lot by charging habits.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes Premium, Limited, and Touring. The Premium is the most straightforward choice, while Limited and Touring add more upscale equipment and features. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting the larger screen and richer convenience features.
• Powertrain: Every Solterra uses a dual-motor AWD setup with 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. It is efficient enough for the class, but the expert notes say the power delivery is modest.
• Safety package: EyeSight is standard, and it includes front cross-traffic alert, proactive driving assist, hands-free driving under 25 mph, active lane-change assist, DriverFocus, intersection collision avoidance, emergency steering assist, emergency stop assist, and a traffic-ahead-moving notification. The lane-centering system is a weak point to evaluate carefully.
• Infotainment: Premium gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Solterra Connect. Limited and Touring upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a surround-view camera, wireless charging, and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon system.
• Range & charging: Premium is rated at 227 miles of range, while Limited and Touring are rated at 222 miles. The battery is 72.8 kWh, and Subaru says charging is improved for 2024, though the expert notes still describe DC fast charging as slower than some rivals.
• Battery health: Check battery state-of-health, ask how the car has been charged, and confirm whether it has mostly seen home charging or frequent DC fast charging. Also verify how much battery warranty coverage remains so you know what protection you still have.

Which 2024 Subaru Solterra trim should I buy?

The 2024 Subaru Solterra is offered in 3 trim levels: Premium, Limited, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the best-value choice if you want the Solterra’s core EV experience without paying for extras. You still get standard AWD, the 8-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and the full EyeSight safety suite.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the biggest step up in everyday convenience. The 12.3-inch touchscreen, surround-view camera, wireless charging, and premium audio make it the most balanced upgrade.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped Solterra, especially if you value the top-end comfort and tech content over price.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but the lane-centering system deserves a careful test drive before you commit.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Subaru Solterra?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 449 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.89% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,662.60, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Subaru Solterra's resale value?

The current average of $25,614 sits slightly below last year's $27,509.

That price movement suggests the Solterra has softened enough to create a more approachable used market, which can help you buy in at a better entry point. For a future seller, the current trend means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car’s EV range and charging performance hold up in real-world use.

Because the model has strong owner satisfaction and a clearer identity after its update, it should continue to attract shoppers who want a Subaru EV with standard AWD and strong safety content. That kind of demand can help support resale value over time, even if range remains a limitation.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra safe?

The Solterra earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and was named a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS in 2023.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

EyeSight is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes front cross-traffic alert, proactive driving assist, hands-free driving under 25 mph, active lane-change assist, DriverFocus, intersection collision avoidance, emergency steering assist, emergency stop assist, and a notification when traffic ahead starts moving again. That is a deep feature list, but the expert notes also say the lane-centering assist needs improvement.

The main caveat is execution rather than equipment breadth. The system can be distracting to monitor, and the lane-centering behavior is called out as a weakness, so you should test it carefully on roads similar to your daily commute.

Should I buy a 2024 Subaru Solterra or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 update improves charging, comfort, and standard safety features while keeping pricing steady at launch.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $23,319, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $25,614 average.
• It brings Subaru’s first all-electric model with symmetrical all-wheel drive and a practical, familiar feel.

The bottom line: If you want the more polished and better-equipped Solterra, the 2024 is the better primary choice. If your priority is spending less up front and you can live with the older version’s simpler setup, the 2023 is the value play.
