2024 Subaru Solterra vs 2024 Toyota bZ4X in San Luis Obispo, CA
2024 Subaru Solterra shown above with optoinal features.
The 2024 Subaru Solterra and 2024 Toyota bZ4X are both all-electric compact SUVs that offer exceptional performance and style. However, the Subaru model exhibits the rugged capabilities and reliability that you look for in a Subaru. Find out more in this Subaru of San Luis Obispo overview.
Exterior
When you arrive at our dealership, one of the first things that will catch your attention is the outer shell of the 2024 Solterra. Its base trim features a standard set of roof rails with fixed cross bar mounting points. These make it possible to place bicycles atop the vehicle, but the 2024 Toyota bZ4X won’t be able to accommodate these since there are no rails atop the car. Also, while both of these vehicles have standard LED headlights and LED daytime running lights, only the Subaru model offers available LED fog lamps to help you see in inclement weather. When you select your car for drives around San Luis Obispo, you’ll want one with the color you prefer. For that reason, the Solterra’s nine paint options will be right up your alley. The Toyota only offers five optional shades. Finally, each of these cars stands atop standard 18-inch wheels to provide a muscular stance on Highway 101.
Cabin
Now that you're aware of the exterior features that the 2024 Subaru Solterra provides, hop inside its cabin and turn up the volume on the available 11-speaker sound system. On the other hand, the 2024 Toyota bZ4X only has an optional 9-speaker setup. In terms of space, both cars have a great deal of area to store gear, but the Solterra’s 63.5 cubic ft. of maximum cargo room1 is clearly more accommodating than the bZ4X’s 56.9 cubic ft. of volume2. Heated front seats are standard in the Subaru vehicle, but you'll have to spend extra cash to unlock this feature in the Toyota SUV. We can't forget to mention that both of these cars offer a standard dual-zone automatic climate control system to help you and your travel companions remain at ease while you head to Laguna Dog Park
Performance
The 2024 Subaru Solterra and the 2024 Toyota bZ4X were designed in collaboration by their respective manufacturers, so you can expect exceptional performance from both of them! The former has a pair of dual 80-kW motors and the latter uses a single 150-kW system. The Subaru is able to produce 215 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque and comes with standard Symmetrical AWD. The Toyota car, however, churns out 201 horsepower and 196 lb.-ft. of torque and offers available AWD for your adventures. The competitor does grant a 252-mile driving range3, which is a bit more than the 227-mile maximum range4 of the Solterra. When equipped with AWD, the Toyota car has the same range as the Subaru. Both are compatible with Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging stations. Using the latter, they can each get from 10 to 80 percent charge in only 30 minutes5. Learn more by contacting us!

Testimonials
Did a very good job!
They are my Dealership now!
“ It's worth the drive from Santa Ynez. I love my Subaru Crosstrek, and I want it to be my last car. She was due for her 60,000-mile service, which I knew was a big one ($$$$)... I made an appointment online (a nice feature offered by all Subaru dealers) .... I made it for 1pm. The next day, I was called, and my service advisor said this was a large service, and it would take up to 5 hours to get it done. They offered me a loaner car at no extra charge. The loaner was a 2024 Forrester Ascent. Super nice vehicle... much bigger and nicer than my own car! Very thorough, very professional, and friendly service staff. They are my Dealership now! ”
Thank you!
“ I had new tires installed and Subaru loaned me a car while I waited for it. I really appreciate that. ”
The customer service at this dealership is outstanding.
“ Ladies if you want to buy a car and have a great experience see Alex Nikolaou. My sister (70's) wanted to buy a car, so she brought me along to be the "heavy". Alex met us when we pulled up to the front of the dealership. He introduced himself and I told him we were not buying a car today. He appreciated; I was honest. As my sister looked around, she fell in love with the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness package. My sister test drove the vehicle and learned more about the active cruise control and active driving options on the vehicle. Alex showed her how to use the options and respectfully answered all our questions. We had a goal to walk away and have dinner and discuss the options. Alex said he would put some numbers together and send to us via text. We did not feel pressure or dirty leaving the dealership to think on this vehicle. The trade in price on her Subaru Outback was reasonable so we slept on the idea of a new car. In the morning we text Alex and set up an appt to come and test drive the car again. Alex explained all the nuances of the Forester compared to her older Outback. What sold my sister was the front camera, SLO has small parking spaces, and the front camera is fantastic for pulling into tight spaces. The cameras on this car make it easy to get in and out of parking spots without hitting the curb in front. What I would like to say about this experience is if you want your Grandmother, Mother or Sister to feel respected and not taken advantage of go see Alex at Subaru of San Luis Obispo. As my sister and I asked questions Alex slowly explained the answers. He did not talk down to us, and we had tons of questions. I did not feel dirty or swindled leaving the dealership after the purchase. Subaru of San Luis Obispo has a young gentleman, “Porter” to help explain all the electronic in the new car. My sister can go into this dealership any time in the future and ask for explanations of this knob, switch or setting up the apple car play to her current apple phone or when she upgrades to the new apple phone. The customer service at this dealership is outstanding. We recommend working with Alex for all your Subaru needs. ”

Exceptional service with an exceptional team
“ Exceptional service with an exceptional team. Everyone from the sales team to finance department/manager was incredibly knowledgable and able to make the process as quick as possible while being 100% transparent. I highly recommend Subaru of San Luis in search of a vehicle. ”
I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO!
“ Randy Gregory was our salesman and made the car buying experience super stress free. We came in for a test drive and weren't pressured to make the sale immediately. Came back after testing a few other models at other dealers with other sales people and by far Randy was the easiest and most transparent on features, price, etc. I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO! ”
Highly recommend this business for everyone.
“ We found a wonderful used car on their site and enquired about financing and within a hour was contacted by Liam a true professional who asked us to come in on Christmas eve and we felt like family members and never felt any pressure and everyone went above and beyond for us to give us the best buying experience we've ever had. Thank you so much Liam, Paras, and Peter for being the best in the business for us and our purchase. Highly recommend this business for everyone. ”
Will likely be the only shop I ever buy from again.
“ Bought a 2023 Subie Outback from Jimmy Binkele and Paras Shukla. These guys are consummate professionals and will likely be the only shop I ever buy from again. ”

It is a pleasure working with the staff. Everyone has always been pleasant, competent, and has kept me informed. The best car dealership I have ever been to. Thank you. ”
Top notch and courteous service.
“ I have bought two cars from Zak Vigil in the last three years. Zak was great to work with. Zak made both purchases convenient with processing most of the paperwork virtually and he was very knowledgeable about the cars. No pressure tactics either. Top notch and courteous service. ”
