Last month we finally got a look at updates to the Subaru Solterra for the 2024 model year. What’s so exciting about the new model year where this vehicle is concerned is that it received several updates but no increase in price! So, with that in mind, it’s time for our last look at trim levels, packages & price for the current model year, this time for the 2024 Subaru Solterra. Check back soon for this information where the 2025 Subaru Forester is concerned. more Trim Level Base MSRP* Premium $44,995 Limited $48,495 Touring $51,995 *Base MSRP does not include $1,345 destination and delivery fees, which can vary depending on state As you can see, the Solterra doesn’t have a ton of options in terms of packages or drivetrains. You will get to choose from three great trim level options, however. You’ll notice the base trim level is called Premium, which goes to show just how much great content is packed into this vehicle even in its most basic form. Content and features only increase in value proportionally alongside the MSRP, so if you want the best the Subaru Solterra has to offer, you’ll definitely want to slide behind the wheel of a Touring model. What’s new for 2024? While we’re here, we might as well highlight those updates we mentioned. The most exciting improvement for the new model year is that the vehicle will be able to charge faster. To put it more specifically, the updated high-capacity lithium-ion battery is now capable of charging from 10% to 80% over the course of just 35 minutes or so. In addition to this, EyeSight is now standard across the board and several subtle features, like a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats, have been added to the mix.

We’ve talked a few times already about the upcoming, all-new 2025 Subaru Forester, but today we thought we’d focus on details regarding its performance and handling. The Subaru Forester has become one of the most popular models on the lineup, building itself a worthy legacy through the years. Now entering its sixth generation and 27th year in production, we’re pleased to be able to provide it to shoppers here in Topeka. more Powertrain Specs & Features This year, every single Forester model will come standard with a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER engine capable of generating 180 horsepower alongside 178 pound-feet of torque alongside a Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission system. For drivers who prefer the old feel of manual driving, the Premium, Sport, Limited and Touring models offer steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a manual mode with eight preset ratios to control. The new powertrain also features both Active Torque Vectoring and an SI-Drive performance management system as standard features as well. Depending on which trim level you opt for, you’ll get 17-, 18- or 19- alloy wheels which will also affect how the vehicle performs and handles. Engineers also included a modified version of the dual-pinion electric power steering rack found in the performance-oriented Subaru WRX. This means enhanced responsiveness thanks to more direct and natural steering. Handling is greatly enhanced thanks to a revised version of the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that responds quicker and delivers better control on surfaces both on and off the road. This is supplemented by X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, which comes standard on the Premium trim level. Incline Start Assist is also standard across the line.
