Used 2024 Subaru Solterra for Sale nearSanta Rosa, CA

How much does the 2024 Subaru Solterra cost?

Prices have softened 7.32% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 446 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Subaru Solterra earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.00/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

The 2024 Solterra is positioned as an updated version of Subaru’s first electric car, with changes aimed at making it a more convincing EV. The overview points to upgraded battery charging, refreshed standard safety features, and added comfort, convenience, and utility improvements, which helps explain why it feels more appealing than before.

The trade-offs are clear, though: unimpressive electric range and underwhelming power remain part of the package, and the lane assist system is also a weak point. For you, that means the Solterra makes the most sense if you value a comfortable cabin, strong safety, and everyday usability more than long-range EV capability or brisk acceleration.

Good and great deals account for 36.1% of listings, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Subaru Solterra reliable?

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

The 2024 Solterra is presented as a well-built EV with a comfortable cabin and strong safety credentials, and the expert summary says Subaru’s updates make it a more credible electric vehicle than before. The performance notes also describe the vehicle as structurally sound, with no suspension clunking, thunking, or shuddering making its way into the cabin.

Subaru says it improved cold-weather charging and DC fast-charging performance for this model year, which is helpful if you plan to use the car in varied climates or on longer trips. The cost-effectiveness notes also point you toward home charging as the easiest way to live with the Solterra day to day.

For a used buyer, the main long-term risk is that range and charging speed still limit flexibility, so you should make sure the battery and charging behavior fit your routine.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.5% — 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 with similar prices. Focus on overall condition, charging behavior, and whether the car’s equipment matches the trim you want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup is simple, with Premium, Limited, and Touring. The Premium is the most value-focused choice, while Limited and Touring add more upscale equipment. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting if you care about the larger screen and premium audio.
• Powertrain: Every Solterra uses a dual-motor electric drive system with standard AWD. Output is modest at 215 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque, so you should buy it for traction and smoothness rather than quick acceleration.
• Safety package: EyeSight is standard, and it 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 when traffic ahead starts moving again. The lane-centering assist can struggle, so test that system carefully.
• Infotainment: Premium gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Subaru Solterra Connect. Limited and Touring upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen, surround-view camera, wireless smartphone 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 test still showed slow DC fast-charging behavior in practice.
• Battery health: On a used EV, you should ask for battery state-of-health information, review charging habits, and confirm whether the car has spent most of its life on home charging or frequent DC fast charging. Also check how much of the battery warranty 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 trim if you want the Solterra’s core strengths without paying for extras. You still get the standard dual-motor AWD setup, the 8-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, and the full EyeSight safety suite.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the most balanced mix of equipment and value. You add the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, surround-view camera, wireless charging, and the Harman Kardon audio system, which makes the cabin feel more upscale.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped Solterra and are willing to pay for it. It builds on Limited with the same high-end tech and convenience content, so it suits you best if you want the top trim experience.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but the lane-centering assist can be inconsistent, so it’s worth testing on your own roads before you buy.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 446 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.32% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,664, 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 $25,658 sits slightly below last year's $27,685.

That price movement suggests the Solterra has softened enough to create better buying conditions now, but it also means future sellers may need to stay competitive on price. If you buy at the right number, you may have a better chance of limiting depreciation pain later.

The model’s strong safety reputation and high owner satisfaction can help support demand over time, especially among shoppers who prioritize confidence and practicality over maximum range.

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 Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

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

Subaru’s EyeSight suite 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-again notification. That’s a deep feature set, but the lane-centering assist can struggle in curves, so you should test it carefully.

The main caveat is execution: the system is impressive on paper, but the lane-centering behavior and the small, information-dense gauge display can make it harder to use than you’d expect.

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:

• 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.32% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Subaru updated battery charging, refreshed standard safety features, and added comfort and convenience improvements.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $23,144, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $25,658 average.
• It is Subaru’s first all-electric model and brings the brand’s familiar character into the EV space without leaning too hard into a futuristic feel.

The bottom line: If you want the more developed Solterra with better charging, updated safety tech, and improved comfort, the 2024 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2023 can still make sense as a lower-cost entry into the Solterra lineup.
