2025 Subaru Impreza Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Subaru Impreza hatchback is available in three trim levels: Base, Sport and RS. The first two come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. The RS gets a more powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. Power from either engine flows through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to the Impreza's standard all-wheel-drive system. Keep reading for a highlighted rundown of the Impreza's standard and optional features.

Base
The most affordable version of the Impreza comes with:

  • 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 60/40-split fold-down rear seat
  • 7-inch dual-touchscreen infotainment
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility
  • Four-speaker stereo

Every Impreza also comes with Subaru's EyeSight safety system. It includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Subaru and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Impreza back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

Sport
Adds to the Impreza with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Retuned suspension for more stable handling
  • Keyless access with push-button start
  • Premium cloth upholstery
  • Upgraded driver information display
  • 11.6-inch center touchscreen (replaces the dual-screen setup)
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Connected services (Subaru's Starlink)
  • Six-speaker stereo

The following option packages are available on the Sport trim:

  • All-Weather package
    • Heated front seats and exterior mirrors
    • Windshield wiper de-icer
  • Driver-Assist Technology package
    • Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert, evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Sunroof

RS
Comes with the above option packages as standard, plus:

  • More powerful engine
  • Dark gray-painted wheels
  • Wireless phone charging pad
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift handle

The optional package for the RS includes:

  • Sunroof
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Harman Kardon sound system

Which Impreza trim does Edmunds recommend?

We like the RS trim. Sure, it's the most expensive trim level. But it comes with a more powerful engine, which you want in this car. It also opens the door to some options you can't get on other trims, such as more adjustable power-operated front seats and a premium audio system. It looks a bit sportier too.
