Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Subaru Solterra

Everybody wants more driving range from an EV, and now the Mach-E’s Premium trim level offers up to 290 miles of it. In addition, the California Route 1 comes only with all-wheel drive and 312 miles of range this year, while the GT gets a standard panoramic glass roof. New Carbonized Gray and Vapor Blue paint colors also debut. The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is a world-class electric vehicle providing style, performance, technology, and utility in equal measure.

However, the big news is that Ford has introduced an enhanced version of its BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology.

Just one year after Subaru introduced its first electric car, the 2024 Solterra receives changes to upgrade battery charging, update the EyeSight collection of standard safety features, enhance comfort and convenience, and add utility. Better yet, Subaru hasn’t raised prices, at least as the 2024 model year kicks off. The automaker is also using a regulatory loophole related to the EV federal income tax credit to make leasing a Solterra more affordable.

Verdict: With the 2024 Solterra, Subaru has a more credible EV to sell. From the new steering wheel and available ventilated front seats to the updated EyeSight features and quicker charging battery pack, it is more appealing than before. However, unimpressive range ratings remain an issue.
