Used 2024 Subaru Solterra for Sale nearDes Moines, IA

How much does the 2024 Subaru Solterra cost?

Prices have softened 6.94% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 486 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Subaru Solterra earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

It stands out as an updated version of Subaru’s first electric car, with changes aimed at making it more convincing as an EV. The cabin is stylish and comfortable, and the updates add comfort, convenience, and utility while keeping the overall package appealing for shoppers who want a practical electric crossover.

The trade-offs are clear: the range remains unimpressive, and the powertrain is modest for the class. The expert notes also point to underwhelming power and a dissatisfying lane assist system.

Good and great deals account for 38.1% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Solterra’s updated safety and charging improvements help it feel more mature than Subaru’s first EV effort. The expert summary also emphasizes that Subaru upgraded battery charging and refreshed the standard safety suite, which supports confidence in day-to-day use.

The performance notes suggest a solid, structurally sound EV with no suspension clunking, thunking, or shuddering making its way into the cabin. That said, the modest range and slower-than-ideal charging behavior mean long-distance ownership still requires some planning.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you plan to rely on the Solterra for commuting or road trips. Focus on battery condition, charging behavior, and whether the cabin electronics and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes Premium, Limited, and Touring trim levels. Premium gives you the core Solterra experience, while Limited and Touring add more upscale tech and convenience features.
• Powertrain: Every Solterra uses a dual-motor electric drive system with standard AWD. Output is 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque, so you should expect competent rather than quick acceleration.
• Safety package: EyeSight is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes front cross-traffic alert, proactive driving assist, intersection collision avoidance, emergency steering assist, emergency stop assist, DriverFocus, hands-free driving at speeds under 25 mph, and active lane-change assist. The lane-centering system can struggle, so test it carefully.
• Infotainment: Premium trim has an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Limited and Touring upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a surround-view camera, wireless smartphone charging, and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon sound 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 performance improved for 2024, though real-world DC fast charging still trails some rivals.
• Battery health: For a used EV, check battery state-of-health, confirm how the car has been charged, and look for evidence of regular home charging rather than repeated heavy DC fast charging. Also verify how much of the battery warranty remains.

Which 2024 Subaru Solterra trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the best-value choice if you want the Solterra’s core EV hardware, standard AWD, wireless smartphone integration, and the lowest entry price. It gives you the essential package without paying for the larger screen and premium audio upgrades.
• Limited: This is the sweet spot for many shoppers because it adds the 12.3-inch touchscreen, surround-view camera, wireless charging, and the Harman Kardon audio system. If you want the most balanced mix of equipment and value, this is the trim to target.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped Solterra, with the same upgraded tech as Limited plus the top-end positioning in the lineup. It makes sense if you want the most comfort and convenience features available.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core EyeSight features.

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: 38.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 486 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.94% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 94.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,644, 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 $25,814 sits slightly below last year's $27,738.

That price movement suggests the Solterra has softened, which can make it easier for you to buy now but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For future sellers, the current market indicates that pricing discipline matters, especially if your vehicle has higher mileage or visible wear.

On the other hand, the model’s strong satisfaction rating helps support demand. Buyers tend to respond well to vehicles that feel well liked and well equipped, which can help the Solterra hold attention better than a less desirable EV.

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 2024 Subaru Solterra earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

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

The standard EyeSight suite includes front cross-traffic alert, proactive driving assist, hands-free driving at speeds under 25 mph, active lane-change assist, DriverFocus, intersection collision avoidance, emergency steering assist, emergency stop assist, and a notification system that tells you when traffic ahead starts moving again.

The system is broad and well equipped, but the lane-centering assist can struggle on curving roads, and the driver-monitoring and gauge layout can be distracting in practice. That means you get strong safety hardware, but you should still test the assist features carefully on your own routes.

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:

• 38.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.94% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert highlight: Subaru updated battery charging, refreshed the standard safety suite, and added comfort and convenience improvements.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $23,077, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $25,814 average.
• It introduced Subaru’s first all-electric model with symmetrical all-wheel drive and a practical, approachable character.

The bottom line: If you want the more developed Solterra with updated charging, improved safety tech, and better overall polish, the 2024 is the better pick. If your priority is saving money and you’re comfortable giving up the newer updates, the 2023 can still make sense as the lower-cost entry point.
