For a reasonable price premium over the supporting trims, you’ll get several desirable features and a negligible decrease in fuel economy. The reintroduced top RS trim is our pick in the lineup whether or not you prioritize performance. Thankfully, that performance doesn’t come at the expense of comfort as the Impreza remains agreeable on rougher roads. The revived RS model steps up to a 182-hp 2.5-liter engine. Under the hood, the base and Sport trims continue with the same 152-horsepower engine as last year. The improved traction on slippery roads is a big advantage over its front-drive hatchback rivals, but it’s also a huge perk for drivers that enjoy handling performance.

In the back there are flared fenders the RS trim has side skirts), is the streamlined lineup.

In its defense, that chassis has been strengthened quite a bit and the commonalities do not detract from the Impreza’s overall excellence. ![]() Calling it all-new might be a stretch though, as it shares its chassis and several similarities to the last-generation model it replaces. The Subaru Impreza, now only available as a five-door hatchback with all-wheel drive, undergoes a redesign for 2024, with updated and more angular styling, numerous upgrades and the reintroduction of the sporty RS model for its sixth generation. ![]()
