What's New
The 2024 Subaru Impreza receives a complete redesign that includes sharper exterior styling and a quieter, more comfortable interior. The new RS trim marks the first use of Subaru's 2.5-liter engine in the Impreza line. The manual transmission departs, along with the slow-selling sedan body style.
Choosing Your Subaru Impreza
The Impreza now comes in three trim levels: Base, Sport, and RS. Pricing for the compact car starts at $24,085 including destination and tops out at $28,975 for the RS.
Engine Choices
The Base and Sport come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a carryover from the previous generation. The RS carries a more powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Every Impreza gets all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). On the Sport and RS, the CVT features an eight-speed manual mode and paddle shifters.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
2.0L 4-Cylinder | 152 hp | 145 lb-ft | 30 mpg |
2.5L 4-Cylinder | 182 hp | 178 lb-ft | 29 mpg |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Impreza is a compact hatchback with seating for five. There are 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat and 56 cubic feet with it folded. That makes the Impreza just as versatile as many small crossovers.
Safety Features
All Impreza models feature adaptive cruise control with lane centering, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is available in a $1,900 option package for the Sport — and standard on the RS.
While larger and costlier Subaru models offer lane-keeping assist and reverse automatic braking, they aren't available yet on the Impreza.
Connectivity
The standard infotainment system for the Impreza includes a 7-inch touchscreen, four speakers, a USB port, HD and satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Moving up to the Sport bring an 11.6-inch touchscreen, six speakers, a second USB port, and Wi-Fi capability. Wireless charging is available on the Sport for $399. The RS comes with four USB ports and wireless charging as standard. Exclusive to the RS is a 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, offered as part of a $2,070 option package.
2024 Subaru Impreza Base — MSRP From $24,085
The Impreza starts out with cloth upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, adaptive LED highlights, a rear spoiler, and 16-inch steel wheels with full covers. Alloy wheels can be added for $350.
2024 Subaru Impreza Sport — MSRP From $26,085
Along with its connectivity upgrades, the Sport offers a push-button start, proximity keyless access, LED fog lights, sport cloth upholstery with red stitching, a sport-tuned suspension, selectable driving modes, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The Sport's sole option package ($1,900) adds a sunroof, lighted vanity mirrors, heated front seats and side mirrors, wiper de-icers, and the blind-spot monitoring system.
2024 Subaru Impreza RS — MSRP From $28,975
The RS packs the 2.5-liter engine, plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, unique cloth upholstery with red accents, and aluminum pedal covers. Everything in the Sport's options package is standard here except for the sunroof, which is available in a $2,070 package with the Harman Kardon system and a 10-way power driver seat.
The 2023 Subaru Impreza maintains its affordability in this latest redesign. The Sport carries enough extras to fully justify its $2,000 premium over the Base trim. But the new RS gives buyers the most for their money, including the spunky 2.5-liter engine.
