“Solid baseline vehicle with plenty of features for a base model. Subaru symmetrical AWD system is best in class for Northern winters with snow tires.”
2024 Subaru Impreza: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Subaru Impreza is a full redesign that starts the model’s sixth generation. Its biggest change is the new five-door body and stiffer structure, joined by revised standard AWD, updated safety technology, and a returning RS trim.
About the 2024 Subaru Impreza
6th generation, first year of the redesign (U.S. lineup sold as a 5-door hatchback).
Subaru positions the Impreza as a compact hatchback for people who want everyday practicality with more bad-weather confidence than most rivals. Standard AWD is the headline advantage, backed by a roomy cabin, flexible cargo space, and a strong safety story. It is less about outright speed than being easy to live with year-round, especially for shoppers cross-shopping a Civic Hatchback, Corolla Hatchback, or Mazda3 but wanting AWD without stepping into a small SUV.
The Impreza is sold as a practical five-door hatchback, with standard AWD and driver-assistance features across the range. Sport adds a sharper suspension tune and an 11.6-inch touchscreen, while the range-topping RS pairs a 182-hp 2.5-liter engine with upgraded brakes, heated front seats, and distinctive red-accented trim.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The returning RS joins the lineup with a 182-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Subaru also revised the standard AWD tuning and made Active Torque Vectoring standard across the range.
Styling
Every trim receives the sleeker sixth-generation five-door body. The RS adds its own black exterior accents and 18-inch dark gray wheels. On Sport, the rear spoiler changes from standard to optional.
Safety
The latest EyeSight driver-assistance suite becomes standard on every trim. It includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering, while the RS also has blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and Automatic Emergency Steering.
Tech
Sport and RS receive an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a first for the Impreza. Heated front seats change from standard to optional on Sport.
Structural
The redesigned body structure is stiffer than before. The U.S. lineup is now organized around Base, Sport, and the returning RS; the previous Premium and Limited trims are dropped.

“Great little car with good zip, fun to drive, try it and you will fall in love too”
“Be careful. Subaru doesn't believe in a solid paint process, so your car will be like mine and have bald spots on the bumper cause you took it through a car wash twice in the first 30 days. Can't wait to see where the paint falls off next! Do you not believe in clear coating?? What else did you skip on?”
