2024 Subaru Impreza Overview

With a more refined chassis, more standard equipment, a sturdier body structure, a quieter cabin, and better handling, the 2024 Subaru Impreza is the next development of the well-known brand. The Impreza is still powered by one of two flat-four engines, and all-wheel drive is standard on all Subaru vehicles save the BRZ sports car. We were pleased with the top RS model's enhanced playfulness on winding roads and its user-friendly infotainment system during our first drive of the new hatch. The turbocharged WRX sports sedan is far more thrilling than the Impreza, and the inside materials are inferior to competitors like the Mazda 3.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

The starting price of the 2024 Subaru Impreza ranges from $24,115 to $28,975, contingent upon the chosen specification and optional features. Owing to our innate preference for fast cars and the influence of nostalgia, we were interested in discovering what the redesigned Subaru RS could do and whether or not it would be our first choice. The bigger 2.5-liter engine is a pleasant increase over the original 2.0-liter engine, though it's still far from pulse-quickening. The chassis tuning allows for lively driving on canyon roads. Since the base model's bargain price aligns with Impreza's main goal of providing customers with an affordable all-wheel-drive vehicle, we advise staying with it.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

The modest 2.0-liter flat-four naturally aspirated engine in the standard and Sport versions of the Impreza continues to produce 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. The new RS variant is the only vehicle available with a bigger 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine, which boosts output to 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque with an additional 30 horsepower and 33 pound-feet of torque. Although the RS's larger boxer engine produces more power than the standard engine, we wish Subaru had added a turbocharger to it. In testing, the Impreza took 7.8 seconds to reach 60 mph, which is 1.2 seconds faster than the previous generation's 2.0-liter model.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

The 2024 Impreza will maintain the tradition of practical rather than opulent Subaru interior design. The whole model range is equipped with 60/40 folding rear seats and dual-zone temperature controls as standard. The carmaker claims that has concentrated its efforts on quieting the interior and designing a more ergonomic front seat. We confirmed during our first drive that the new Impreza's cabin does really appear quieter than that of the fifth-generation predecessor. The infotainment display's hard buttons, as opposed to touchscreen controls, are a welcome addition, and the interior design appears to be a logical development from the previous version. Additionally, a clever plastic step is located next to the back seats to facilitate access to the roof and secure goods in cars with roof racks.

Connectivity and Entertainment

Standard on Sport and RS editions of the 2024 Subaru Impreza is the manufacturer's Starlink multimedia system. It has an 11.6-inch touchscreen display with controls for the HVAC, music system, and other car systems. It allows for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Base versions, meanwhile, come with a normal 7.0-inch screen. Subaru also provides its Safety and Security Connect Services, including SOS Emergency Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Recovery Service, along with conveniences like Remote Vehicle Locator, for Starlink-equipped cars. No matter what smartphone you own, you're covered with the auxiliary input jack, USB-C connector, and USB-A port that the new Impreza offers its occupants.

Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic warning are optional.
