Is the 2024 Subaru Impreza reliable?

The cost-effectiveness content adds that the Impreza remains a smart purchase for its capabilities, ease of use, and fun driving dynamics.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Subaru Impreza?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for wear, prior repairs, and any signs that the car has been used harder than average. Focus on overall condition, especially if you’re shopping for a higher-trim example with more equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base model comes with two 7-inch displays, while the Sport and RS trims get the larger 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. The RS also adds side skirts and red interior accents, so you can use trim differences to judge whether the car has the features and appearance you want.
• Powertrain: The Base and Sport trims use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque, while the RS upgrades to a 2.5-liter engine with 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. Both powertrains use a CVT, and the Sport and RS add steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
• Safety package: All Imprezas come with the EyeSight driver assist suite, which includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and lane-centering. The Sport adds Starlink communications features, and the RS adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and automatic emergency steering.
• Infotainment: The Sport and RS trims get the 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Starlink features with a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Base model uses two 7-inch displays instead.
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine is estimated to return 27 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined, while the RS is rated only 1 mpg less across the board.

Which 2024 Subaru Impreza trim should I buy?

The 2024 Subaru Impreza is offered in 3 trim levels: Base, Sport, RS.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the value play if you want the Impreza’s standard all-wheel drive and core safety features at the lowest price. It gives you the essentials, but you give up the larger touchscreen and some of the convenience and tech upgrades found higher up the range.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the larger 11.6-inch infotainment screen, wireless phone integration, and Starlink features while keeping the Impreza’s practical character intact. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the one to focus on.
• RS: This is the trim to choose if you want the most power and the most complete equipment list. It adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, sportier handling, and extra safety tech, making it the right pick if you want the most engaging version of the Impreza.

The top RS trim adds a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and automatic emergency steering.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Subaru Impreza?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 37.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,484 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,054, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Subaru Impreza's resale value?

The current average of $22,582 sits slightly below last year's $23,120.

That softer pricing suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more efficiently today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim level rather than assuming the market will lift prices on its own.

Because the Impreza is positioned as a practical all-wheel-drive economy car with strong value, well-kept examples should continue to attract shoppers who want traction and everyday usability. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Subaru Impreza safe?

The 2024 Subaru Impreza is not yet rated by IIHS or NHTSA, but Subaru is targeting a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

All 2024 Subaru Imprezas come with the EyeSight driver assist suite, which includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and lane-centering. The Sport trim adds Starlink communications features with automatic collision notification, enhanced roadside assistance and an SOS button, while the RS adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and automatic emergency steering.

The main caveat is that crash-test results are not yet available, so you should treat the safety picture as promising but not fully confirmed by published test data.

Should I buy a 2024 Subaru Impreza or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 37.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.33% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The revived RS trim adds some much needed driver excitement, and the car is described as fun to drive with a comfortable ride and smart features.

The bottom line: If you want the latest version of the Impreza’s standard all-wheel-drive formula, the 2024 is the one to target because it combines strong value, a broad feature set, and a more engaging RS trim. If you’re mainly shopping on price, you can still find attractive listings, but the 2024 makes the most sense when you want the newest body style and the best mix of capability and equipment.
