Updated Features & Tech
There weren’t a ton of changes, after all this is only the model’s second year in production, however the few changes that were implemented are pretty crucial and exciting. For example, the vehicle’s high-capacity lithium-ion battery has received engineering improvements that enhance its capabilities where fast charging is concerned. Unlike the previous iteration, you’ll now be able to get a charge from 10% to 80% in roughly 35 minutes. A charge indicator has also been added that displays the estimated time remaining to charge either to that 80% marker or all the way to 100%.
In addition to this fantastic change to the battery pack, the legendary Subaru EyeSight suite has been upgraded with all-new advanced driver-assistive safety features. Two new technologies include Hands-Free Driving and DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System. The former enables the vehicle to travel at speeds up to 25 miles per hour without your hands on the wheel, even through stop-and-go traffic. This is a huge benefit in high-traffic areas for sure, but can be beneficial anywhere.
These two new technologies are joined by Active Lane Change Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitors, Rear Camera Detection with Pedestrian Warning, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing, Road Assist and more.
In addition to what was already mentioned, a new heated steering wheel has been added to the Limited trim level and ventilated front seats have been made standard on the Touring trim. Most importantly, however, is that despite these improvements the starting price of each Solterra model has remained the same.
