I test drove a Solar Octane Off Road yesterday. I didn't test out any of the tech, I just wanted to check out the power delivery and highway manners. I can happily say I came away happy. The 4 cyl turbo is sweet,much nicer than my 2022 sport 3.5. It accelerates smoothly and quickly. No motor roaring to get up to speed on an on ramp..it does sound like a 4cyl,but thats ok..just smooth and deliberate power. I think I could feel that it doesn't have the torque of the GM twins,but that might all be in my head. The highway drive is awesome...tracks straight and stable..not like my 22 Sport or 2020 Off Road. No crazy trans shifting..once it got in top gear it stayed there. Now I can't wait for my Sport+ to arrive mid-April. One thing I don't love is the light gray/black seats. I can see them looking pretty bad from dirty dog paws in a short period of time . I have a cover for the back seat now in my truck..but sometimes he likes to ride shot gun.
