FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Subaru Impreza that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Although we don't have hard data on the 2.0-liter Impreza's acceleration, we can give you an educated guess based on the 2.0-liter Crosstrek, which uses the exact same powertrain and weighs about 100 more pounds. It lumbers to 60 mph in 9.5 seconds, so this Impreza spec almost certainly can't break the 9-second barrier. That's pretty slow these days, even for an economy car. Speaking of the Crosstrek, it's notable that although it's technically considered an SUV, it actually has slightly less cargo capacity than the Impreza — so if you can do without the Crosstrek's extra ground clearance, the cheaper Impreza is arguably a more sensible car.
The RS may sound like some sporty thing that most people wouldn't want, but it's actually the only Impreza that comes with the desirable 2.5-liter engine upgrade. It also gives you 18-inch wheels in place of the standard 16s, which will affect the ride quality to some extent, so a test drive of both the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter Impreza versions is in order. But the RS would be an easy choice for us. You get virtually the same fuel economy along with superior acceleration. Enough said.
