The 2024 Subaru Impreza is all-new for 2024. Available exclusively as a 5-door hatchback, the new Impreza continues to be an affordable, fuel-efficient car with a roomy interior, loads of standard safety equipment, and impressive resale and reliability numbers.
Subaru’s standard all-wheel drive (AWD) gives the Impreza traction in all weather conditions, making it an acceptable alternative for those needing a versatile interior but not interested in driving a compact SUV.
Changes go beyond new external styling and interior upgrades. For one, Subaru has dropped the Impreza sedan. Sadly, the manual transmission option also gets put out to pasture, but a sporty new RS trim is added, touting a more powerful 2.5-liter engine.
Based on a recent drive, we can state this new 2024 Subaru Impreza has taken a big step up in refinement, thanks largely to a stronger new chassis, a significantly quieter cabin, and a more supple ride that doesn’t come at the expense of handling agility.
The Impreza has few direct competitors. The closest are the all-wheel-drive Mazda3 and Toyota Prius hybrid, which cost significantly more than the Impreza Base. The Toyota Corolla Hybrid offers all-wheel drive but in a sedan, not a hatchback.
2024 Subaru Impreza Base: $22,995
The Impreza Base trim features a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 152 horsepower. It’s paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and standard AWD.
Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist suite comes standard, bringing forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane-centering.
Other safety systems include steering-responsive LED headlights with automatic high beams and wiper activation, a rear seat reminder, and a rear backup camera.
The Impreza Base features 16-inch steel wheels with full covers, remote keyless entry, power side mirrors, a rear wiper/washer, and a tire repair kit (replaces the spare tire).
The Impreza cabin is a mix of features. In a base-model car, cloth-covered manually operated front seats are expected, as are a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, auto up/down power front windows, and a 60/40-split folding rear seat.
Unexpected features include dual-zone automatic climate controls, a 4.2-inch color display screen between the speedometer and tachometer, and twin 7-inch touchscreens for operating the multimedia and climate controls.
On the media front, the Impreza features the Starlink system with a 4-speaker AM/FM/HD Radio, Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The system includes one USB-A charge port and one auxiliary input jack.
The only factory option for the base Impreza is 16-inch alloy wheels.
With the $1,090 destination charge, the 2024 Subaru Impreza costs $24,085. On a 60-month loan at 5% financing and zero down, the monthly payment comes to $455. See 2024 Subaru Impreza Base models for sale near you
