Pinch Pennies in Style in the 2025 Impreza!

Subaru released pricing for the 2025 Subaru Impreza; the all-five-door, all-wheel-drive hatchback compact. It continues with three trim and two engine choices.

Subaru launched the sixth-generation Impreza for 2024 and we saw a few significant changes. First, the Impreza now comes to the U.S. only as a five-door model. Second, you choose between just three trims: Base, Sport, and RS. Two of those trims, Base and Sport, get a 2.0-liter flat-four engine under the hood, the RS cozies up with a 2.5-liter flat-four instead.

2025 impreza pricing

The 2025 Impreza effectively carries over with the big changes of last year, seeing only nominal price increases across the line-up. The base Impreza now costs $24,665, including its $1170 destination fee, jumping up $580 from last year. Sport trimmed Impreza’s start a clean $2000 above that at $26,665. The top-of-the-line Impreza RS, like the one I tested earlier, squeaks in just below $30k, costing $29,555.

Slipping in one of the two lower cost models means that Subaru bolts up a 152 horsepower, 145 lb.-ft of torque 2.0-liter flat-four to propel your around. Ratio changes come courtesy of what Subaru calls a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission and then on to all-four-wheels.

Base impreza

Inside, the base model include two seven-inch screens to make up your center display. You do get both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but you do need to plug it in. Dual-zone climate control comes standard as well. And, of course, plenty of safety systems, which Subaru calls Eyesight.

Impreza Sport

Upgrading to the Sport changes the center display into a single 11.6-inch unit that connects phones wirelessly to either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. And Subaru swaps 16-inch alloy wheels for 18s.

But I prefer the RS of the three trims, largely because of the half-liter displacement increase. Just like the Subaru Crosstrek Sport, the 2.5-liter flat four delivers an additional 30 horsepower and 33 lb.-ft of torque for 182 HP and 178 lb.-ft, respectively. The RS still makes use of the same Lineartronic CVT, but the combination generally behaves well on most all driving scenarios.

The RS also sports up the styling a little bit and gives the option to take an additional $2070 of your money in exchange for a Harman Kardon® sound system, moonroof, and power adjusting driver seat. All lovely stuff.

Frankly, I prefer the five-door and find the all-wheel-drive, vehicle size, and price point combination attractive. And it’s good to see prices largely hold steady for 2025.
