One year after a redesign, the 2025 Subaru Impreza hatchback continues unchanged aside from a small price increase, Subaru announced Thursday.
The Impreza will continue to be offered in Base, Sport, and RS grades, with the Base grade starting at $24,665, including a $1,170 destination fee. That’s $580 more than the 2024 model, despite a $20 reduction in the destination fee, but not as bad as the 2024 model’s $1,970 hike over a comparable 2023 Subaru Impreza.
The Base model comes standard with a dual 7.0-inch-touchscreen infotainment system incorporating wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive LED headlights, and an automated engine stop/start system. Steel wheels are standard, but 16-inch alloy wheels are available for an extra $350.
Starting at $26,665 with destination, the Impreza Sport adds 18-inch wheels, drive modes, a sport-tuned suspension, an 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and black cloth upholstery with red stitching.
Base and Sport models use a 2.0-liter flat-4 engine producing 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque, while the Impreza RS has a 2.5-liter flat-4 making 182 hp and 178 lb-ft. The RS model’s $29,555 price also includes darkened exterior trim, faux carbon-fiber interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, and aluminum pedals. A $2,070 option package adds a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a sunroof, and 10-way power front seats with lumbar support.
All Impreza models continue with standard all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) featuring eight simulated gear ratios. Sport and RS models get paddle shifters. Subaru ditched the 5-speed manual transmission with last year’s redesign, along with the sedan body style. The same basic body shell is also used for the Subaru Crosstrek, which is marketed as a crossover.
The standard EyeSight system includes expected safety features like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and a rear-seat reminder system. Blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alerts are part of a $1,900 option package on the Impreza Sport, and standard on the RS.
Built in Gunma, Japan, the 2025 Subaru Impreza is scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealerships before the end of this year.
