Specs at a Glance

If you're in the market for a new compact car, the 2025 Subaru Impreza should be on your radar. This all-wheel drive hatchback not only offers a fun driving experience but also excels in everyday comfort. Let’s dive into the differences between the Impreza Base and the Impreza RS trims.

Performance

The Impreza Base comes equipped with a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine, delivering 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission, it benefits from Subaru’s torque-vectoring Symmetrical AWD system, a standard feature across all Impreza trims.

For those seeking more power, the Impreza RS offers an upgraded 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine that boosts output to 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, providing quicker acceleration. While it also features a continuously variable transmission, the RS adds an eight-speed manual mode with paddle shifters for a more dynamic driving experience. Additionally, its sport-tuned suspension improves handling performance.

Appearance

The Impreza Base stands out with its sleek, sporty design. It comes with LED Steering Responsive Headlights and a small roof spoiler as standard. A range of eye-catching paint colors is also available to complement its stylish look.

The RS trim takes the sportiness up a notch, featuring larger 18-inch alloy wheels in place of the Base model’s 16-inch steel wheels. It also adds LED fog lights, giving the car a more aggressive, rally-inspired appearance.

Features

The Impreza Base trim doesn’t skimp on standard features. Tech enthusiasts will enjoy the Subaru Starlink Multimedia system, which includes dual 7.0-inch display screens with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration. Other highlights include dual-zone automatic climate control, HD Radio, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Inside the Impreza RS, you'll find a larger 11.6-inch HD touchscreen, along with a sportier interior. Red-accented RS cloth seat upholstery and aluminum pedal covers add to the excitement. The RS trim also upgrades from the Base model’s four-speaker audio system to a six-speaker setup, and adds perks like heated front seats, Keyless Access with push-button start, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
