Across all model years, at 70.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2023 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: EyeSight driver assist suite
• Infotainment: 11.6-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; wireless connectivity in the Sport and RS trims
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-liter base engine is estimated to return 27 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 30 mpg in combined driving. The RS is rated only 1 mpg less across the board.

Which Subaru Impreza trim should I buy?

The 2024 Subaru Impreza offers these trims:

• Base: This is the best-value starting point if you want standard all-wheel drive and the 2.0-liter engine, plus two 7-inch displays and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Sport: This trim adds the larger 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles, the Starlink communications features, and a sport-tuned suspension.
• RS: This is the trim to choose if you want the 2.5-liter engine, the most powerful setup in the lineup, plus blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency steering, red interior accents, and the most complete feature set.

What Subaru Impreza do most buyers choose?

The Subaru Impreza years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and a stronger chance of finding the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also line up with newer-model features and broader deal availability, which makes them especially appealing to used shoppers.

What is the Subaru Impreza's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it points to softer asking prices across much of the lineup. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while a couple of older years are nearly flat or slightly higher. That mix suggests you can still find value without giving up access to newer features.

The 2014 and 2015 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2014, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• 2015: 9/10
• 2014: 9/10

All 2024 Subaru Imprezas come with the automaker’s EyeSight driver assist suite of safety features.

For the safest used buy, the 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2021 models all post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.
