features, and updated multimedia technology. Also new for 2024 is the RS

wheels and unique exterior and interior elements.
The Impreza debuted 30 years ago at the 1992 Los Angeles Auto Show, offering customers a value-packed compact car with available Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. A pioneer in the compact car segment, Impreza was the only vehicle at the time to offer all-wheel drive. The Impreza also laid the foundation for the legendary Subaru WRX, the performance car with rally championships spanning four decades.
The 2024 Impreza lineup receives a sporty new look and comes standard with the latest generation of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system is available for the first time on Impreza and comes equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android™ Auto. The system also offers on-screen controls for audio, climate, and vehicle features.
For 2024, Subaru has streamlined the Impreza model line to greater emphasize the vehicle's sportiness, versatility and capability. The Impreza is now available in Base, Sport and new RS trim levels. The compact car comes exclusively as a 5-door hatchback when it arrives in Subaru retailers this spring.
Performance and Handling
The 2024 Impreza has been designed around the concept of utility and sportiness that lends itself to an active lifestyle. Standard across the model line is a revised Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system offering a faster response time, more agile handling and better cornering. The all-wheel drive system is further enhanced with standard Active Torque Vectoring.
The Base and Sport trims are equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 152-hp and 145 lb.-ft. of torque. The new RS upgrades to a 2.5-liter BOXER engine delivering an impressive 182 hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard on all trim levels is a Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The Sport and RS trims feature an 8-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission via eight pre-set ratios.
The 2024 Impreza also receives a version of the WRX sport car's dual-pinion electronic power steering rack, offering more direct and natural steering feel and greater responsiveness.
The Sport and RS trim levels are equipped with the SI-Drive performance management system, 18-inch alloy wheels and a sport-tuned suspension to maximize performance and handling.
New Design and Updated Chassis
The Subaru Global Platform for the 2024 Impreza has been enhanced with 10-percent higher torsional rigidity. A full inner frame construction and additional structural adhesive (from 26.2 feet to 88.5 feet) contribute to better body rigidity and lighter weight. These updates deliver an improved dynamic performance, smoother ride, and quieter cabin.
The cabin benefits from an enhanced focus on the occupants and their interaction with the vehicle. A more supportive front seat design increases overall comfort and minimizes fatigue. A focused effort on reducing sounds within particular frequency ranges results in a quieter and more comfortable cabin. The modern, clean interior design features a prominent center information display with highly visual controls as well as ample head and leg room and storage space.
Safety
Standard on all 2024 Impreza models is the latest version of the award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The enhanced system operates smoother, faster, and under a greater range of conditions. These improvements are thanks to a wider field of view, updated control software, and the addition of an electric brake booster. EyeSight can now identify bicycles and pedestrians at intersections sooner and, when necessary, alerts the driver and applies brakes to avoid collisions.
Automatic Emergency Steering is included on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. The safety feature works with EyeSight and Blind-Spot Detection to assist with steering control to help avoid a collision at speeds less than 50 mph.
Standard Rear Seat Reminder is designed to help prevent child and/or pet entrapment by alerting the driver to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle.
Throughout its 30-year history, Impreza has received safety awards from trusted organizations including the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The outgoing five-door Subaru Impreza1 was named a 2022 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (with optional EyeSight and specific headlights). This marks the 15th consecutive year the compact car has earned this award (2007-2022)2, 3 and includes the highest possible rating of "Superior" for frontal crash prevention from IIHS.4 Subaru anticipates the all-new 2024 Impreza will continue to deliver exemplary safety performance.
Comfort and Convenience
All trim levels feature power door locks, windows and side mirrors; welcome lighting; Remote Keyless Access; Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Individual Wheel Display; and 60/40 folding rear seats. The RS trim level has an available 10-way power front driver seat with lumbar support.
The vehicle's climate control system has been updated to focus on occupied seats, (vs. entire cabin) for improved comfort and fuel economy. Dual-zone heating/cooling control is standard across the model line.
The Sport trim adds the STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Keyless Access with Push-Button Start, and fog lights.
Subaru In-Vehicle Technology

Imprezas through the generations:
 2024 and newer | Subaru couldn't make it bigger, because the car needs to be compact for the people who want it that way, so Subaru just made it better. The standard engine remains a 2.0 liter, but a new, sporty RS model offers a punchy 2.5 liter. Infotainment system gets the latest 11.6" screen and improved functionality, including wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. The sedan rides off into history, so the only way to get an Impreza is the versatile 5-door hatchback. |
 2017 through 2023 | Based on a brand new chassis that will underpin most Subarus into the next decade, this Impreza can absorb 40% more crash energy than its predecessor. Interior appointments and infotainment capabilities are comparable with much more expensive vehicles. It's the first Impreza manufactured at Subaru's sole North American plant in Indiana. More horsepower, more fuel economy, and more technology--including optional whizbang features such as steering-responsive headlights. |
 2012 through 2016 | Fuel economy leaped into the high 30s on the highway with the introduction of a continuously variable transmission
and state-of-the-art 2.0 liter engine. Seventh airbag, to protect
driver's knees, becomes standard. Though it officially remains a
compact car, this generation offers interior space we have traditionally
expected from mid-size cars. |
 2008 through 2011 | Sales took off with this larger Impreza, built on a compact version of the platform from the larger Legacy sedan. Six airbags became standard. |
 2002 through 2007 | After nine years with only modest updates, we were ready for a modern Impreza. 2002 and 2003 models arrived with controversial round headlights, but Subaru moved to a more conventional front end in 2004 (the hatchback pictured to the left is a 2007 model). New standard features included side airbags, 2.5 liter engine, and even a CD player(!). Size remained very compact, but Subaru modernized everything. Interior materials improved along with ride quality and appearance. |
 1993 through 2001 | Subaru introduced the Impreza in 1993 in your choice of coupe, sedan, and hatchback. All models came with a 2.2 liter Boxer engine, with front wheel drive or all wheel drive. With small updates, Subaru produced the same car for nine years, which is long time in an industry predisposed to five year product cycles. Subaru introduced the sporty RS model in 1998, the spiritual ancestor of the legendary WRX that would appear in 2002. The Outback Sport, forerunner of the Crosstrek, debuted in 1996. |
