Specs at a Glance

If you're in the market for a new compact car, the 2025 Subaru Impreza is worth your attention. This all-wheel drive hatchback not only offers a fun driving experience but also excels in everyday comfort. Let's explore how the Impreza Base stacks up against the Impreza RS.

Performance

The Impreza Base features a 2.0-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine that produces 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission and comes standard with Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD system, complete with torque vectoring for added stability.

For those seeking more power, the Impreza RS offers a larger 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine, boosting output to 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque for quicker acceleration. This trim also uses a continuously variable transmission but adds an eight-speed manual mode with paddle shifters for extra driver engagement. Additionally, the RS comes with a sport-tuned suspension to enhance handling.

Appearance

The Impreza Base delivers a stylish ride with its sporty design. It includes standard LED Steering Responsive Headlights and a small roof spoiler. A variety of attractive paint colors are available to personalize your look. On the other hand, the RS trim boasts a more aggressive stance, upgrading from 16-inch steel wheels to 18-inch alloy wheels. The RS also adds LED fog lights for extra flair.

Features

Don't overlook the base model’s impressive standard features. It comes equipped with Subaru’s Starlink Multimedia system, offering dual 7.0-inch display screens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Other highlights include dual-zone automatic climate control, HD Radio, and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Impreza RS, meanwhile, steps up with a larger 11.6-inch HD touchscreen and a more dynamic interior. RS-specific cloth seats with red accents and aluminum pedal covers create a sportier feel. While the base model has a four-speaker audio system, the RS trim upgrades to a six-speaker system. Additional perks include heated front seats, Keyless Access with push-button start, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
