Subaru just unveiled its all-new Impreza compact car at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show. As expected, it’s more of an incremental upgrade than we’ve seen from Subaru the past few years — the Impreza was already using the Subaru Global Platform. But there are some landmark and key upgrades to Subaru’s entry-level car.
Here’s what you need to know about the all-new 2024 Subaru Impreza.
All-wheel-drive is still standard on the Impreza
The Impreza has been a great value proposition — not just because it’s one of the most affordable new cars you can buy, but because it’s one of the cheapest new cars you can buy that comes with AWD. Subaru says its Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system has been updated for faster response and better handling and cornering. Subaru also added active torque vectoring.
There’s no more Impreza sedan
The Impreza and the WRX no longer share any body panels. They now no longer share even a body style. The Impreza dropped its sedan version, and the next generation is only available as a four-door hatchback.
