Used 2024 Subaru Impreza for Sale nearColumbus, OH

How much does the 2024 Subaru Impreza cost?

Prices have softened 2.25% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,393 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Subaru Impreza a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Subaru Impreza earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

The Impreza stands out as an affordable all-wheel-drive economy car with a comfortable ride, smart features, and a more engaging personality than many rivals. It is especially appealing if you want everyday usefulness with extra traction and a bit of driver excitement from the revived RS trim.

The main trade-off is that it is more of a refresh than a full redesign, so the changes may feel incremental if you were hoping for something more dramatic. Even so, the combination of standard AWD and strong value keeps it compelling.

36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Subaru Impreza reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Impreza is presented as a practical, easy-to-live-with car with standard all-wheel drive and a comfortable ride, and the expert notes reinforce that it is built around everyday usability. The performance notes also point to a quiet engine under light to moderate throttle, a compliant ride, and reduced road noise compared with the previous generation.

The cost-effectiveness notes add that Subaru’s standard AWD gives the Impreza a meaningful advantage in this class, especially if you value traction in poor weather. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about a single glaring flaw and more about making sure the car you choose has been maintained and not worn down by hard use.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if it looks clean on paper, because condition can vary widely from one used example to another. Prioritize a close inspection of the cabin, tires, brakes, and any signs of hard use, and make sure the car’s features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base model uses two 7-inch displays, while the Sport and RS trims get the larger 11.6-inch touchscreen. The RS also adds red stitching and red seat upholstery accents, so you can use trim differences to judge whether the car has the features and presentation you want.
• Powertrain: The Base and Sport trims use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder 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 use a CVT, AWD is standard, and the Sport and RS add steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
• Safety package: All Imprezas come with EyeSight, which includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and lane-centering. The Sport 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.
• Infotainment: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included on all trims, and they are wireless on the Sport and RS. The Sport and RS also get the Starlink system with a Wi-Fi hotspot, while the Base uses the smaller dual-screen setup instead of the larger touchscreen.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-liter engine is estimated at 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 lowest entry price and standard AWD without paying for extras. It gives you the core Impreza formula, but you miss out on the larger touchscreen and some of the convenience and tech upgrades found higher up.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the larger 11.6-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles, and Starlink features. It is the sweet spot if you want more tech and a nicer daily experience without jumping all the way to the RS.
• RS: This is the one to choose if you want the most power and the most complete feature set. It gets the 2.5-liter engine, the sportiest character in the lineup, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency steering, and the red interior accents that make it feel more special.

All trims come with EyeSight, and the RS adds the most advanced safety content in the lineup.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,393 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.25% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,064, 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 $22,959 sits slightly below last year's $23,487.

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

The RS and other well-equipped versions may hold broader appeal because they offer more power and features, but clean, well-kept examples should be the easiest to move later. If you buy smart now, you can reduce the risk of taking an outsized hit when it is time to sell.

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 uses Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist suite, which includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and lane-centering.

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

The Sport trim adds Starlink communications features with automatic collision notification, enhanced roadside assistance, and an SOS button. The RS goes further with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and automatic emergency steering.

One caveat is that crash-test results from NHTSA and IIHS are not yet available in the source material, so you should lean on the standard safety equipment and trim-level differences when comparing used examples.

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:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.25% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The revived RS trim adds some much needed driver excitement while the car keeps its standard AWD, comfortable ride, and smart features.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value, traction, and everyday usability, the 2024 is the one to target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully and look for a clean, well-priced example near the low end of the range, but the 2024’s combination of standard AWD and improved trim mix makes it the better all-around pick.
