Drive with confidence in the iconic Subaru Impreza.

For 2025, the Impreza gets a bolder front fascia, sleeker headlights, and refined lines throughout the body. The result is a sportier appearance that reflects the vehicle’s upgraded performance dynamics.

LED steering-responsive headlights and 17″–18″ alloy wheels come standard on most trims. The RS model also features black grille trim, red accents, and dark gray wheels that add visual punch.

The hatchback design doesn’t just look good—it boosts versatility, making the Impreza a favorite among urban drivers and weekend adventurers alike.

In addition, subtle enhancements like a rear spoiler, contoured fenders, and integrated turn signals make the Impreza feel more refined and aggressive on the road.

The attention to aerodynamics also results in less road noise and improved fuel efficiency, giving the car a quiet yet commanding presence.

Know why the all-wheel drive sets the Subaru Impreza apart in the compact segment 🌧️

Read about the advanced safety tech that keeps you protected from every angle 🛡️

The 2025 Subaru Impreza comes with the EyeSight® Driver Assist suite standard on all trims, offering:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Pre-Collision Braking
  • Lane Centering
  • Lead Vehicle Start Alert
  • Lane Departure and Sway Warning

Optional features include Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking. These technologies contribute to the Impreza’s consistent Top Safety Pick ratings from the IIHS.

Beyond driver assist systems, the Impreza features reinforced body structure using high-strength steel, crumple zones engineered to absorb impact, and seven standard airbags. These design choices help protect occupants in real-world crash scenarios.

Subaru Impreza balances practicality with personality 🚘

Despite being affordable, the Impreza doesn’t feel like an entry-level car. It includes thoughtful touches like paddle shifters (Sport/RS), quiet cabin insulation, and a comfortable ride tuned for both urban and highway driving.

Trim-specific enhancements—such as the RS’s sport suspension and upgraded brakes—add excitement without hurting ride comfort. Subaru’s Lineartronic® CVT transmission ensures smooth shifts and solid fuel economy.

The flat-four BOXER® engine layout also gives the car a lower center of gravity, which improves handling through curves and tight city corners.

Another often overlooked benefit is Subaru’s strong resale value. The Impreza regularly ranks among the top in its class for depreciation resistance, which can lead to better trade-in or resale value when you’re ready to upgrade.

Why Impreza remains a favorite for drivers across the U.S.

The Subaru Impreza isn’t just a smart choice—it’s a consistent one. Whether you’re a college student, a commuter in a snowy state, or a small family needing reliable transportation, the Impreza checks all the boxes.

With competitive pricing, strong resale value, and a reputation for dependability, it’s easy to see why the Impreza continues to earn driver loyalty.

Thanks to Subaru’s large network of service centers and loyal owner community, maintenance and long-term ownership are also simplified.

The Impreza stands as a vehicle built for people who want their car to do it all—with confidence and clarity.
